It seems like a very odd choice for a Linux exclusive software to use the proprietary XLSX format for documentation.

If this is the same bundle as on Steam, some of them are localized to Italian, and a bunch more to German. One of them is even translated to Norwegian; Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds.

I love this game, and I've played through it multiple times with all trinkets. Happy to see it get some more love and attention.

Quoting: dibzI actually played through nearly the entire game on an iphone believe it or not, and just couldn't beat the final area with touch screen controls.

I believe it, as I've played through the entire game on Android with touch controls myself. :tongue: Here's a video of me doing Veni, Vidi, Vici during a bus ride.

I had the game on mute, and instead captured the sound of my touching the screen and some bus noises.

I'm playing the Linux native version on Steam now, so it's definitely there. Might be that it's necessary to force downloading of the Linux version by choosing to play with a specific version of the Linux runtime or something, as mentioned in other articles here on GOL (I don't remember the details). Choosing "Windowed mode" on launch seems to give me the best experience, after pressing Alt+Enter to run in a fullscreen window. There are occasional issues with dialogue showing both on the top and bottom of the screen though.

According to one of the developers (writer and designer), the old Linux version on GOG used "GOG's proprietary wrapper":

... whatever that means. Possibly just a Linux native AGS binary, or maybe an AppImage with Wine?

I had just started re-playing the game from the beginning on my NUC, and suddenly there's a massive update. :woot: This is probably my favorite ever puzzle game. :heart:

Instabuy for me too. I've played about an hour of it so far, and I'm loving it. :heart:

The question in my mind is: why are we seeing a sudden surge?

It's because I've started gaming a bit again, after a long hiatus.

Quoting: CatKiller

Quoting: AppelsinYeah, but the thing is, they're selling it (or rather, it'll be available for order) all over Europe, except three countries, since we're not "part of the EU". Though they've inlcuded the UK, which afaik has even more hurdles atm with regards to import/export than EEA (we're EU, but we're kinda not).

It's not like I don't agree that they're going to have to do better, it's just that the limits of where they're selling them are because they aren't doing it themselves. The postmen in the countries that they've got developers go wherever the postmen go.

I find it very unlikely that Valve, a US company with a few hundred employees, just happens to have developers in each of the 27 EU member states and the UK. Plus, it doesn't sound practical or cost saving to ship a few thousand units in bulk to a person in each of those countries, only for them to re-package and mail out individual units using local post services.

There has to be a different reason, and I think it's because they haven't done the research to figure out if different regulations apply in those countries, and they don't think it's worth it for just an additional three (small) countries.

Induction is very good, but also difficult, and I never made it all the way through. I actually wrote about it when it was released six years ago:

I don't think it ever became much of a financial success, so it's nice to see it in a bundle with other interesting looking games, which will hopefully bring all of them a bit more attention.
