If this game gets added on Steam officially, it makes me think that a kind of "pay what you want" feature as a way of supporting developers of games like these would be cool. Then again, that would most likely be abused in some way by the pay2win crowd.

I still think sorting it out by distro families is the way forward, you'd have to spend such a disproportionate amount of time to include all the most obscure distros. Hannah Montana Linux doesn't mean much to anyone except to the one person using it, so from a user statistics point of view it would be pointless to include.

That's just my opinion, I know people tend to feel very strongly and want what distro they're using to be known, but from a gaming standpoint, it's somewhat irrelevant.

Might get set this up again at some point and play some Gamecube games at 1080p with enhanced graphics :D

Quoting: TacoDeBossRuns at 20 FPS at high settings 1080p on my GTX 1080. Great... Another horrible port by Feral. Ugh.

I have ~30 FPS at max settings on my 1070... It must be an issue with the new generation of cards, hopefully it will be patched out.

I don't even remember this coming out on Steam.

I'd like to see it be a lot higher, obviously. But then considering it smashes the numbers for the Wii U and NX (I know they weren't the most popular consoles ever) is pretty encouraging considering Nintendo is a massive company that has been in the industry for decades and Linux gaming is still very much in its infancy.

It's nice being reminded of these. I guess there's still hope though because if you'd done this a year ago then one of the perpetual unreleased ones would have been Divinity: Original Sin.

Shout out to Eador: Masters of the Broken World as well, one of the most unusual cases of Linux porting out there.

Getting a bit defensive there. I'm sure Day of the Tentacle is a great game (a little before my time, but it's a classic I've always wanted to play). I'm sure you personally did a great job with this game.

I was just pointing out something which is very much not OK and I don't understand why you insist on defending it. A port may have been planned, but it clearly wasn't very far along at that point (this was 4 months ago). I'm not sure I follow the logic of this "well intentioned offer"... You can buy the game on an OS you don't have, so you won't be able to play the game, however please give us your money now and you'll get it when we finish the port. All that post says to me is that they wanted money for a product which (as we now know) didn't even exist then. I'm not sure I care that a company has its "heart in the right place"... It's a business, not a charity (I think).

Defend the game and your own skills all you like, but please don't defend shoddy business practices because it doesn't help anyone. If you really like the company, then give criticism where criticism is due so they can improve. Also, they said PC.

Quoting: sub

after two months' worth of solid porting work, here I am!

So they were contracting you way after they were telling people the Linux port will be available soon?
That sounds like there was no or next to no Linux work done prior to that date?

They weren't just saying that it would be available "soon", they were saying "buy the Windows version now, because it will be available on Linux soon", which I thought was a bit of a shitty thing to do. Now I think it's more shitty considering it seems the port hadn't even been started.
