I already backed all three point and click adventures mentioned and was going to back K.O.L.M but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!

Bolt Riley had a rough start but seems to be picking up now and is currently at $20K with two days to go. I hope K.O.L.M. also picks up speed soon.

I got a tip about which game would be featured in August's box (and a coupon for 10% off), so I really wanted to get it. The cost of shipping to Europe meant I'd have to pay more for shipping than for the actual box though, so that unfortunately put me off it.

Would love to see this article series continued as there has been some very good games in there (At least Teslagrad and Escape Goat. I haven't played Forced.) so far and the contents of the boxes look great.

The main campaign of YHTWTG can be completed in about 7 minutes but that takes hours of practice. And on top of that there's an "extra spicy" campaign that is much harder and probably took me at least 3-4 hours in itself, even on normal difficulty. So, yeah, stan is right about that. It felt like a full game to me.

Quoting: neowiz73the survey popped up when I had just installed Steam on Wine to see if I could get certain games to run on wine again. So I refused it, then restarted my Linux install and I haven't received the survey at all again. I'm mainly using Linux Mint, was using Manjaro for the past month though... distro hopping is so much fun.

Ugh, the exact same thing happened to me just now. :/ Hadn't seen the survey for months before that.

I loved You Have to Win the Game, so this is definitely a day one purchase for me.

I don't know. Maybe to speed up the process or out of convenience? They started talking about it over a year ago and so far only Gemini Rue and The Shivah are available I think. Wadjet Eye are just Dave Gilbert and his wife so it might be that they've just been to busy working on the latest Blackwell game to consider it.

I learned yesterday that the original Blackwell trilogy from Wadjet Eye has been ported to Linux by a contracted third-party and is currently being tested, so that's also something I'm looking forward to.

Quoting: DrMcCoyIn terms of games already released on Windows, I'm still waiting for Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect

I'm looking forward to that too, since I backed the Kickstarter. I think it read that it's an issue with the player used for the FMVs that's holding it back. I also backed Moebius, but I'm half dreading that one, since the reviews have been rather mixed, to put it mildly.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroSame could be said about Deponia, but a bit more excited for that because it meant that some of their other games I haven't played may get ported.

Me too and it feels like a big deal that the biggest developer making point and click games with Visionaire released their most popular franchise such a short time after the engine started supporting Linux, since it will hopefully lead to other games using Visionaire getting Linux versions.

Of upcoming Linux games, some of the games I'm most excited about right now are Broken Age, Act II, the remaining two parts of The Fall, Super Win The Game, A Hat in Time, The Journey Down, Chapter Two and the Grim Fandango remake (though I've played the original).

That's pretty awesome. :-)

What has been your favourite release this year so far?

It's hard to pick just one, but Full Bore, MouseCraft, You Have To Win The Game, The Fall, The Last Tinker and Broken Age have been among my favorites. Probably Full Bore if I was forced to make a choice.

I played the Linux beta of Sproggiwood and it's a pretty nice casual RPG with randomly generated dungeons and lots of humor.
