WTF? Is this heavily inspired by Seasons after Fall?

Quoting: HoriI've got KRZ in Humble Monthly bundle and I want to know if those episodes are free upgrades or do they need to be bought separately?

They're included once released.

I was overly impressed by act I/II and
decided to wait until all acts are released.

Honestly, I simply can't remember the story between tbh.

However, the game I played so far was quite linear IIRC.
It's more an interactive story than an adventure
with riddles like Monkey Island is.
... but extremely well executed and stylish to the bone. :)

I loved "Zelda - A Link to the Past" on the SNES but while this game seems to be more
a rip-off than Zelda-like the visuals don't appeal to me.
I guess it's the overly colourful palette and the cheesy light effects...

I'd be even ok with just 5% IF this includes the AAA games.
I'm not sure many of them are included in the 17% stated.

I've to agree Kingdom Rush is super fun.
However super hard too - at least for me.

Definitely buying Frontiers when it is released to Linux.

BTW, IIRC they said you can apply for becoming beta testers somewhere on their forums.

This port seems to be top notch, btw.
So far it worked absolutely flawless.

Thanks!

It was just a matter of interest not for sherlock holming a legal issue. ;)

Quoting: Cheeseness

Quoting: sub

after two months' worth of solid porting work, here I am!

So they were contracting you way after they were telling people the Linux port will be available soon?
That sounds like there was no or next to no Linux work done prior to that date?

Initially, I was negotiating to assist with QA and possibly provide some dev support. I'm not aware of what plans were in place for Linux support before the port was offered to me, nor of what expected timeframes may have been attached to those.

I don't recall any mentions of the soonishness of the port prior to my starting work, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to consider a few months to be "soon".

All I can tell you is that I am very thankful that there were no firm dates attached to the project while I was working, and the notion that anybody at Double Fine would hope to deceive Linux users feels very much at odds with the experiences I've had. Everybody was supportive, enthusiastic and excited to see Linux users getting the game.

In any case, thanks for your work!

Can you explain in short how MM1 is (technically) included in the game?
Does it use the ScummVM engine? (Reading DrMcCoy's name)
