Quoting: AnanaceDamn it, and of course I already own the game since before, so can't even throw money at them for the Linux release.

Steam could really use a donate / gift button for developers, to really show appreciation for things like this.

Since it's a in-house port, I'd guess they'll know platform statistics of players starting it in Linux actually. Even though, it's not a unique "linux sale" then, it shows the demand.

When? I gotta' sit still. As soon as it releases I'll rush out of office to get my hands on that one :-).

Quoting: pete910We still won't get Native Doom/whatever Vulkan AAA title so...

Probably not, but the wine "mapping", since it won't be a real "porting" would be a lot easier.

Does not matter when. It does matter they try or are able to give it a try.

If they "fail" or at least if it seems to have even more issues that's fine. Giving it a shot (or being able to give it a shot) is actually a cool decision. Especially since there is .. quite some work involved (which is an understatement on itself).

I hope they get their goal closer with that. I really do.

That's cool that it could help Godot to have more consistent support (and hopefully performance) for their engine over all of their supported operating systems.

I'd say that they generally have a pretty good and healthy mix of adventures, shooters (with rpg elements), strategy and and racing games they port. We even saw a real AAA Action RPG released with Shadow of Mordor.

I think they're trying hard to give us a variety of games in different genres. And that's nice, so all of us get some :-). As long as they profit on their ports that's good, because they'll survive.

Quoting: Mountain ManIs this going to be substantially different from any other Total War game? Seems like if you've played one Total War game, you've pretty much played them all.

It will be about the same, there are some changes to certain aspects as recruiting, technology etc.

That said, it will be roughly the same as all others still. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the game has success and it's fans are asking for more.

I'm looking forward to this, always wanted to make a Viking Kingdom in Britain and I like the mix of the strategic map mixed with real time battles.

Maybe even a Vulkan port? Probably not, because they very likely have the engine ported to OpenGL for older Total War games which run good enough too. But we'll see.

And I'm planning on buying, once it's out of early access. I am always rather waiting for the finished game than playing early access. Same as I stopped pre-funding projects.

Too many disappointments in the past.

We all knew that Valve can't even count to three.... but I thought their programs at least could count.

My wishlist shows "Wishlist (5)", but it only shows 4 titles :D. And no, there are no filters set ;-)

I have to admit I didn't buy a game in quite some time. Nothing released which fits my taste.

I probably got more picky because I can choose now, so my focus is RPGs, city building and puzzle games.

There were times where I could not choose, where I just bought ... that's not possible any longer, so I buy only if I am really interested.
