GOG staff state that Galaxy for Linux is being worked on, but still no ETA
28 April 2017 at 6:57 pm UTC

lgogdownloader kicks much ass, and is the reason I won't be using Galaxy on Linux any time soon. It's open source, lightweight, and does everything I need it to do.

Regarding the games on GOG that are lacking a Linux port, when a Linux port is available elsewhere, there is a page in the GOL wiki for that:

Too bad - I just miss the cut. I bought KSP in December of 2013. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to give Squad more of my money.

Quoting: constMonthly is out. Here what I found:

Total War: Warhammer (+)
Polybridge (+)
Space Run Galaxy (-)
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 (-)
Flat Heroes (+)
Rive (+)
Morphblade (-)
Uurnog (?)[Last months Humble original was ported already]

Had planned to stop my subscription directly, but next month has the witness. ;)

Not sure if it makes any sense, but I usually only activate the keys for linux games and gift the others to my nephew or some friends.

Space Run Galaxy is supposedly coming to Linux ... soon. Their previous game, Space Run, is available on Linux, so that's maybe a more reliable promise than some.

I'm a notebook guy. I'm already saving to replace my Haswell / GTX765M based notebook, and I really hope there's a Ryzen / Radeon (or Vega) combination available when the time comes!

Victor Vran Overkill Edition announced (two new DLC)

What about GOG? I own Victor Vran on GOG - hopefully the Overkill edition and the DLC also make their way to GOG.

It is a great game, and so long as I can get everything from GOG, I'm likely to buy both DLC. Motorhead + Victor Vran seems too awesome to possibly pass up!

The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

I'm going to pass, but it's tempting. I already own 26 of the games, and one of the books, but several of the other games are on my wishlist. If Stardew Valley was DRM free, I'd probably have already pulled the trigger on it.

Croteam say Vulkan 'is the way forward', Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter due in 'weeks' with Vulkan

Quoting: ShmerlNice, but when are they going to release their games on GOG? They aren't some legacy publisher, so what's stopping them?

This.

And, are we going to get these improvements to TFE and TSE at GOG?

Block’hood, the upwards focused neighbourhood-building simulator is now on GOG

Quoting: InverseTelecineThat looks cool! I love the verticality, and the low-poly graphics style I think looks great! But it's kind of impossible to judge a "city" builder by a trailer. Anyone tried it?

Yup. Liam Has.

The Linux port of Banished is still alive, the developer plans their next game to launch cross-platform on day-1
7 February 2017 at 6:03 pm UTC

I got Banished as part of a GOG promo awhile back, but I haven't played it at all yet because I'm waiting for the Linux build. It's nice to see that it's still being worked on, however slowly that might be. Personally, I'd rather see a developer want to support Linux, and do it right, as opposed to a developer who only half-assed supports Linux (See Garry Newman or Stoic Studios). It at least appears that he's trying to do it right.

And, of course, I agree with Shmerl 100%, it's a Windows build, not a PC build.

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: hummer010Hmmmmm, I'm seriously considering buying my first Humble Monthly for this game. The game looks great, and $12 is the right price for it, and then there are the other games too.
Total Warhammer is worth the money at full price. $12 is almost highway robbery!

I read a couple of reviews, and bought it. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow (my crappy internet will take most of the night to download it!)
