This game looks great! I love the excentric style of the game that feels like partly steampunk, partly high-fantasy and partly just unique.

I haven´t read anything about the combat of this game yet, so it´ll have to be a surprise. However, I´m hoping that it´s TBwP, like Pillars. That felt like a breath of fresh air, after playing through a long line of ordinary turn-based titles these last years, and I spent almost 120 hours exploring, fighting and adventuring my way through PoE..

Seems rather interesting, the whole MadMax/FTL angle does sound kind of cool.

However, I´m starting to feel a bit tired with "pixelart". I´m not particularly taken with fancy graphics and tesselation, ssao and whatever it´s all called, but this "retro-trend" where the graphics are made to resemble late 80´s games, rather than mid 90´s or Y2K:ish, that´s taking it a bit too far imo.

For me, this kind of graphics is just a little bit *too* primitive/simplistic to be ignored, to the point where a superb 10/10 game can actually feel merely like a decent 7/10 game, because the graphics hurts the overall enjoyment.

Another annoyance. I've played the first two games in the series on windows and I was looking forward to playing the upcoming third on Linux. Guess I'll invest in "Victor Vran" instead.

...undecided.

At this point, I'm actually starting to lose interest in their games (or more accurately in anything produced by this studio). This latest "project", to arrange a vote where users who are pretty much inevitably a great majority of non-linux users, should vote whether to port the game to linux or do something that could directly benefit themselves instead....

I honestly can't decide whether to vote for a linux-port or write a mail explaining where they could shove their products.

Seems like a nice product, however I never use gamepads. The versatility of the keyboard, the precision of a mouse, and yes even the "relaxation factor" of laying back and lazily dumping my left hand on a cordless keyboard and my right on a wireless mouse when gaming while more or less horizontal on my bed/sofa or couch.

Yup, if you ask me, m&kb has total supremacy in every sense except "compactness". ;-)

No, but more seriously I have of course used a gamepad in the past and for certain titles, fighting games, some platformers, some racing games, some titles developed exclusively for pad-gaming (with rotten m&kb support patched on later) etc. etc. In those cases, I did find a pad to be preferable and in a few cases almost indispensable.

However, in general such games fall outside my "sphere of interest", as far as the game-genrés are concerned, so I think the last time I owned a pad of my own was somewhere back in 2004-06 .

Great news! I remember really loving this game back in the days, and I always intended to replay it with the restored content one day but somehow I never got around to it.

As far as I recall, I did like KOTOR II a lot more than I did the first game but it's still a pity that they can't port both games in one go.

A wonderful initiative!

I've been keeping a text-file on the desktop to keep track of upcoming linux-titles, but this makes that pretty much redundant. There are numerous titles that I'd like to add to the calendar but unfortunately most of them lack even a rough estimate for when a linux version (or windows-version for that matter) might be released.

Hopefully, many of them can be added soon.

Aww, I loved these games back in the days. If I remember correctly, I bought "25th Anniv" twice, once on 3,5" disks and a second time on cd to get the voiced version (just like I did with Gabriel Knight). They were my favorite "Trek-games", at least until the release of the TNG-title: "A Final Unity".

Still, I'm fairly sure I still have the orignal cd:s somewhere, so I don't think I'll buy this. Well, I might if they show up on "linux-steam", just to have them in the steam-library.

Yup, it does seem that GTA is the most likely culprit.

Having said that....my "steam-wishlist" is shock-full of titles that are either "Windows Only", "Windows & Mac Only" or "Windows & Mac and maybe/possibly Linux sometime in a future far,far away..."

I'd be lying if I said the frustration isn't getting to me.

Quoting: apocalyptechYeah, I too would have fit much better in an "I use steam but don't care / have an opinion" option.

In my case I would have liked the option "weakly oppose", since on the one hand it's not something that really concerns me (very,very rarely use any mod anyway) but on the other hand the whole concept feels a bit off to me, since I've always considered "mod" to be practically a synonym for "free", as opposed to the paid for alternatives: dlc/expansion/official content.

Still, it's more of a gut feeling than a well reasoned argument, so I picked "don't care", although that's not quite a 100% true. ;-)
