Just to note that I just finished my second playthrough of the game, and according to Steam that took me about two hours, so experience definitely matters. Daily procedurally generated challenges has also been added to the game now, which are larger and harder versions of the buildings in the story mode.

Quoting: thelimeydragonWell things that might come to my mind of games that "NOBODY saw coming" would be a Microsoft game..

Age of Empires II??

I would love that or Age of Empires.

If I'm going to wager a semi-realistic bet, I'll go for Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, since it's one of the games I really like that I find it somewhat likely that the people at Aspyr might love enough to want to port it.

QuoteDarth is right, we did this one for love. We hope you like it, but we are cool if you dont ;)

This makes me very hopeful it's a game I might like. :)

They should call it SuperTux64 instead.

The original is great and this looks like a lovingly crafted modernization of that. I introduced my 4 year old to the DS remake last year and he really likes it too, so it will be interesting to hear about this project as it develops. Unfortunate that they only have a Facebook group though.

Quoting: subMusic by Gavin Harrison? The Porcupine Tree drummer?
I guess it's just a coincidence... (?) :)

Yeah, I couldn't find any mentions of Gunslugs on his website, so probably just a coincidence. ;)

I don't mind that we included everything this year, since it was our first GOTY Awards. In my opinion, the best solution next year will be to include only games that are made available for Linux in full. Meaning a game in Early Access (or some other form of unfinished state) is included the year it is considered complete by its developers, a game in chapters is included the year the last chapter is released and a game that was previously only available for other platforms is included the year it is made available for sale on Linux.

I'm happy 0 A.D. won the open source category, but I'm looking forward to the categories next year, since I think a high budget gem like The Talos Principle really deserved to win something. It has already gotten heaps of awards and nominations elsewhere though, so they can probably live with it.

Maybe an award for notable developers and publishers could be an idea too, to honor Linux friendly companies like Devolver Digital, Aspyr, Feral, Valve, Croteam, Double Fine and Arcen Games?

The only extra you get for pre-ordering is an HD wallpaper of concept art done for the remaster. It does look nice though and made me finally change from my Super Win the Game wallpaper that I've been using since September.
