Fixed the link.

The game looks neat. I'm not a huge fan of space combat, but it doesn't look too hectic and I quite enjoy exploration games.

iO is great. I've heard KR-17 is good too, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Quoting: Keizgon

Are you sure Lively Ivy and Ivy Games LLC (Gravity Ghost) aren't two different companies? If they are the same developer, I might give it a look, but I haven't found confirmation of this. I found Gravity Ghost to be a wonderful game and experience.

I meant Erin Robinson specifically, and yeah, I'm pretty sure. If not, she has done nothing to correct the association in a dozen interviews I've read. Puzzle Bots is a neat puzzle game with a story about friendship. It's nowhere near as deep and emotional as Gravity Ghost though.

Quoting: aLI dont know about you guys, but im really looking forward to the end of the blackwell saga. Blackwell deception and blackwell epiphany.

Wadjet Eye Games said they were coming soon...

They will come out on 2015... and im still waiting!!! hurry up Wadjet Eye Games!!!

Yeah, me too. The Linux builds of the first three games were in testing for several months though, so it's hard to say how long it might take. They are also very conscious of their marketing, so it's possible that they try to hold out for a bundle again or something to make sure they get the most out of their Linux débuts. Primordia is also already ported, so that should come this year too.

In addition to that, there's Puzzle Bots (by the creator of Gravity Ghost by the way) and Resonance, which might get (or are?) ported. I seem to recall reading that Da New Guys won't get ported, and Emerald City Confidential definitely won't.

With Technobabylon, Shardlight and Automaticity, that's anywhere between 3 and 8 WEG games that might release on Linux this year, which is pretty great no matter what.

Really looking forward to Heart Forth, Alicia and Red Goddess. Also Technobabylon [External Link] (and possibly Shardlight and Automaticity) from Wadjet Eye Games and PONCHO [External Link]. Both Technobabylon and PONCHO have spring 2015 as their ETAs.

Yeah, me too. Just noticed your Greenlight URL is wrong and links to a project called Lethis. Here's the correct URL:

The Greenlight campaign is strangely for "PC" only, but I asked the developer about it on Twitter a few days ago and they said the Linux (and Mac) build should be ready before release. It would probably be a good idea to add those platforms to the project though.

Yes, you are. Didn't realize you had an account here. Why we're they so hesitant to add the notes? Doesn't seem like it should be such a big deal to them and it's a nice way of giving credit where credit is due to a great project.

Yeah, GOG uses your browser's user agent to determine which system requirements to display at least. When you browse the site with a browser on Linux you'll only see Linux system requirements by default, while Windows and Mac system requirements are hidden under a collapse. Setting your user agent to something gibberish actually results in no system requirements at all being displayed, so there's no default OS.
