I kind of happen to have one of those games lingering on the steam account from a bundle and for the first time, after reading your review Liam, I am actually am tempeted to play it.

Maybe it's one of those "don't judge the book by it's cover" scenarios.

Both this little gem and cogmind (wine only) are becoming the best entry level roguelikes I know. The mashup between a rogue and and dungeon keeper is not exactly new, but it is one of the most satisfying and the same time easy to pickup examples I know.

Guess I'll spend some more hours on this one again. Glad to see it here on Gaming on Linux. Thank Liam! ^_^

Quoting: sudoshredCan't wait for this game. Sign me up for any GOL tournaments. :-D

One more for GOL tournaments here! I think I'll fare better than on Rocket League or an FPS :)

Wow!It definatly feels Duke Nukem though it is a Doom mod. I wonder how it compares with Ion Maiden?

Hidden Folk is a gem. If you ever "read/played" Where's Waldo (Wally in my country) when you were young you will love this game. It is a great a great example of an adaptation of the digital medium.

Quoting: theghost

Quoting: gojulToo bad they do not provide Debian / RPM / ... packages anymore...

Maybe it helps you that there is a snap: https://snapcraft.io/openra [External Link]
and a flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.openra.OpenRA [External Link]

Although I don't know how up-to-date the repositories are...:huh:

The snap, though it was updated 4 days ago (Sep 22), is version 20180307. The previous stable release.

The flatpack version I can't see it directly in the website. Is there a quick way to find out without downloading?

EDIT: formating.

Oh for some moments I has very hyped... until I figured I was mistaking TacOps with Infiltration, also a UT mod initially, but more focused on realism.

But then searching on the forums, I found there seems to also be a UT Infiltration / Raibow six spiritual sucessor in the making also based on the same engine... and it will enter Steam Early Access.. today!

Unfortunatly on the inicial Kickstarter FAQ page [External Link] it said it would be Win + Mac initially, without a Linux version.

What Platforms will Ground Branch be on?

Ground Branch will be on PC and Mac from the start.

We would like to be on linux as well, but unfortunately, that ball is more in Epic's court. I am sorry to say that it is not currently part of our budget to port the game to Linux (Mac support is fairly new, if you can believe it); however, if the opportunity ever arises, we have no reason or personal qualms in deciding not to support the platform. For us, It's more of a question of availability of the tech, and costs, than it is an intellectual belief. So for the time being, I suppose the answer is "No."

This was last updated on June 12 2012, so maybe there is hope!

The original Frozen Synapse was my favorite gem fromthe early Humble (Indie) Bundles. So a new Frozen Synapse with a Geoscape tying all the mission will be a an insta buy! ^_^

Looking at the game I thought it was from Wabby's [External Link], this dev seemed to trade zombies for space stations lately :)

I just found out I actually backed it! He had a massive following in the TIG forums if I recall right. On the backer first lauch postit states this first public build is windows only, and the the linux and mac versions will follow.

Please Note: The game has just been released on Early Access for Windows only. The OSX and Linux builds will hopefully be out later this year. The game is still in development, but this is the first public release, and I'm super excited (and exhausted)!

If you have any questions, please contact me via the kickstarter messaging system, or directly at twitter. We also have a website where you can read more about the game: https://playmoonquest.com [External Link].

Thanks for joining me on this journey and I'll be back with news of the OSX and Linux builds and the future direction of the game.
