Sweet! Buying it tonight!

Great news! Still, a pity about the whole "under the radar" bit, since I wouldn´t hesitate to buy this even with whatever issues may remain. Obviously, I want it to count as a linux sale though, so I guess I´ll just have to wait for a while longer.

Well, considering the criteria of an "interested developer" and the fact that it might be nice with a game that would not require a huge time-consuming effort to port. Bethesda & Rockstar can probably be considered "out of the picture". So, a few titles that I´m thinking about:

"Endless Legend & Endless Space". Both games are supposed to be good and the developers initially planned linux versions before they felt they had to re-prioritize.

"Grim Dawn". Diablo/Viktor Vran-like game that is sopposed to be great. As far as I recall the developer said that a linux version was possible at some future date.

"The Age of Decadence". Indie rpg with good reviews. A linux version has been on the table but the developer claims linux-support in the game engine has not been completed.

"Underrail". Another small rpg with good reviews, that should have the needed XNA to FNA support for a linux port but the developer does not seem too interested.

"The Technomancer" Another spiders game "Bound by Flame" has already been ported to linux so there might be some support there.

"Outcast 1.1" This was promised to be ported to linux but then...nothing happened.

"Kathy Rain" and "Technobablylon". Two adventure games with good reviews both were supposed to be ported to linux but for differing reasons the porting seems to have stalled indefinitely.

Well, these are a few suggestions of titles that *might* be portable without too much trouble of a technical nature or in negotiating with the developers.

OK, never heard of "Ken Follet" or this before but it sounds great so I´ll be sure to pick this one up.

Amazing, I was starting to think this would never show up for linux. "Worlds of Magic" was the original game that seemed like a somewhat promising MoM-clone but it had such an amazing number of technical issues that playing it quickly became tiresome.

Planar Conquest is supposed to be something like a fixed & enhanced version of that game, so I have long been curious how that would work out.

Keeping my fingers crossed...

[quote=Expalphalog]Never been interested in mechs honestly, but after the Shadowrun series, I would buy anything that HBS wants to sell me.[/er had a mech interestquote]

Same here! Never had a mech interest but the "shadowrun" games as well as the trailers for this one makes this an insta-buy. Wishlishted.

Huh, long ago I was very fond of an arcade game that was called "Super Sprint" and later I also enjoyed "Death Rally" on PC. This looks similar to both of those and I don´t think I have seen someting like it on linux, so I´ll certainly add my voice to a porting.

Terror from the Deep Strikes Back, this looks super interesting. I loved the X-COM games but something from Gollop is possibly even more interesting.

Wishlisted!

It looks really nice, although I hope it's more stable than Wasteland 2, at least for me that was sadly a real crash-to-desktop bonanza.
