If this game does play like Halo / Section 8 Prejudice and comes on Linux, count me in - I've been looking for a playful FPS for a long time to quench my Halo 3 thirst on XPC.

The camera in this game sticks as bad as sticky marshmallow hands. The learning curve seems really sharp, I was hoping for a StarCraft like RTS, Planetary Annihilation is not, it's its own animal.

Been waiting for this to launch Linux before I threw in my cash. Since I waited nearly 8 months I guess I can wait till it goes on sale a little bit before adding it to my collection.

Good deal.

Quoting: StianTheDarkI never got this survey popup, so I think there's something fishy about Steam Hardware Surveys..

I've gotten the survey 3 times in the last year on 2 computers. Granted my library is about 100+ Linux Games and I play DOTA. (Also I'm exclusive to Linux and login to steam daily.)

I've gotten it twice on ElementaryOS and once on Arch. Granted I do have at least 6 Linux PCs I manage.

Quoting: ElectricPrismNintendo is no longer the Indie game company I loved growing up in the 90s

Indie game company?!? Nintendo was founded in 1889, yes, in the 19th century, producing playing cards. It had massive amounts of resources and connections when it got into electronic toys in the 1960s.

Yes I'm aware of Nintendo's origins starting as a card company and got into hotel services before they got into gaming, the point I I wanted to highlight was this:
Mostly all gaming developers in the 1990s were what we would consider "Indie" by today's standard, A Link to the Past, System Shock 2, Half Life 1, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, etc...

Everything today from mainstream generally sucks because big developers don't want to risk loosing money so they take less chances on weird ideas and try to reign it in by being politically correct - we see this in movies all the time.

Just saw the remake of Batman? We'll guess what it's time for another reboot of Batman, or lets reboot Superman because it's a safe way to extract cash from consumers at the box office. In the same way we see remakes and new versions of the same old crap from Nintendo because it's a safe way to extract cash from customers. You liked A Link to the Past? We'll you'll love Skyward Sword! Buy Today!!! But the problem is the soul and the witt and the indie environment that birthed the genius of A Link to the Past and Final Fantasy 6 have been replaced by a sterile corporate world that cares most about its bottom line, and employees that care about job security - that's why most of everything sucks from large gaming companies.

Take it with some salt, I don't need to convert others to my perspective - but just be open to the idea that gaming has become a job for many instead of a love and passion like the good ole 90s :)

Lets hope this group is working out of a third world country,

Although Nintendo put many a pressure on Pokemon Online, they're treking strong. I mean seriously, why Nintendo wouldn't make a Pokemon Online is beyond me, wow makes what 2 billion dollars a year in subscriptions at least?

Nintendo is no longer the Indie game company I loved growing up in the 90s, BTTA this game looks awesome, I hope they throw all their dev files out into the ether and cordinate in a decentralized way as It would be great to play.

I've always theorized that a game could release a "official version" where all the models were Tux + Tux Castle, and then it was just a known fact that the game had a "Mario Model Mod", if I was going to put up a shield and even want to get my game on Steam that's what I might try to do,

We see so much proprietary Content by Content Creators in Garrys Mod, etc... and they get a pass because the game itself is its own creation and separate.

Is anyone using this yet? Is it like Game Maker in any way / shape / form. I would love a good Game prototyping app.
