Quoting: EKRboiIf you are talking about what I think you are then bring up the in-game console with the tilde key (~) and then turn off sky lighting with "ShowFlag.SkyLighting 0"

Yeah, that was it... thank you very much

steam should probably take the lead on this one and "recommend" to the developers to follow XDG standard

Quoting: aLIf this didnt happen to you, maybe this kind of games are not for you. I understand this genre + visuals + mechanics are not for everybody... but Im kind drooling waiting for the next 2 games to be ported

Just to make my point clearer. Out of the last conversational games I played... I liked the deponia journey... but at some points it felt like a chore playing it... with the blackwell games, I was hooked pretty much from beginning to end.

Gemini rue... I dindt like the mix of action and conversational

the journey down. The first one was very well done. Characters wise, story, dialogues... the second one... no so much. Specially the art, animations and puzzles...

the shiva. I played it for 1 hour or so... It didnt really hooked me...

Quoting: GuestThey are using Adventure Game Studio which is pretty much terrible under Linux: games start in fullscreen (ugly, pixellated) with no alt-tab support (under Xfce at least). I can press alt-return to switch to windowed, but then the window is a bit small and there is no option to make it bigger. It would be playable, though, if the mouse wasn’t locked to the window… well, kind of… sometimes I can make it move outside.

So I don’t know, the games themselves might be good, but technically they are very bad. Only two or three fixes are needed to make them playable: use SDL2 so that alt-tab works, let the user resize the window (since SDL2 uses OpenGL to draw stuff I think zooming the gfx shouldn’t be too hard), and do not warp the mouse pointer back into the window… it’s not an FPS damnit.

Edit: I kinda like that the main character is an introvert though… and might try to play a bit more.

well, the ugly pixelated thing is because... they are all old (you can see how they improved after each game...) and well, they were looking for the retro style (yeah, in 2006 there were good looking games already). I liked the pixelated art, low resolution style of the game. It didnt remove any of the fun.

I played it on xfce (debian testing) as well... and I didnt remember having alt + tab issues... so I just tested it again (legacy) and it worked.

Other than that... I got interested watching the trailer... and got hooked after less of 5 minutes of playing it... the voices are superb!!

If this didnt happen to you, maybe this kind of games are not for you. I understand this genre + visuals + mechanics are not for everybody... but Im kind drooling waiting for the next 2 games to be ported

PS: im not sure the main characters (you get to play the aunt in the second one) are introverts. They just happen to have an unusual job and... a power nobody else have

I loved these 3 games. 3-4h long each. They were in a humble a while back. Loved the voices, the story, the mechanics, the charcaters, the ambientation...

You have to like conversational games, of course.

Its supposed to be a 5 games set, but the last 2 games are not yet ported (they are already working on it)

I cant wait to play the last 2.. I read the ending is very good as well :)

wadjet games released another conversational game lately, "a golden wake". I will buy it and play it at some point... since it seems nice... but freaking borderlands 2 is taking up all my gaming time lately!!

Quoting: flesk

Quoting: aLjust to make a note, in gog seems to be a little cheaper

GOG looks a bit more expensive to me, but I'm in the Euro region. The Humble version comes with the soundtrack and the GOG version with a poster as bonus, so it also depends a bit on which bonus you prefer I guess.

You are right... the price was showing in $ at 14.99$

In gog showed in euros at 11.something...

Basically same price
