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. ;-)

Very nice! I had this game on my "to-buy-list", before i switched to linux. This was a game that I had very little hope it would ever show up as a linux-title.

Seems pretty interesting.

However, I'm starting to feel a bit swamped with "turn-based strategy titles". Pillars of Eternity, with it's RTwP (Real-Time with Pause) combat felt like a most welcome relief from everything turn-based.

Ironic, since i feel that it was not long ago at all, that I was desperate for a glorious return of games like "X-COM" or "Wasteland 2" and would have happily purchased anything along those lines.

Anyway, this looks polished enough to add to my "wishlist".

Quoting: FeistI would buy/would have bought this game in a second if it was a Singleplayer game. However, if I have interpreted things correctly it's mostly a Multiplayer game, with a "token" singleplayer-mode that (currently) does not offer much of a story/campaign/adventure.

Or has the situation changed since the last time I tried to get a feel for this game?

You might be able to say that's the case right now. But I thought their goal actually the opposite, that they wanted it to be primarily a single player game with multiplayer on the side.

I might be mixing this game up with another one, but I could have sworn a developer of this game commented that they only have a larger multiplayer component right now because it's just easier to do once you have all the game mechanics working. But creating a single player campaign still requires a lot of work beyond that

Yeah, that was my understanding, as well. Just to be safe, I did some quick searching - seems like they have a pretty clear plan laid out here [External Link]. The devs posted a bit later, stating that they're releasing story stuff in chunks, and that the story will probably be "finished" (i.e. all story chunks released) in 2016-17.

Great! I really don't have any interest in any variant of multiplayer, but a singleplayer game where you play as a part of a spec-ops task force in a space/sci-fi setting and get to battle various threats in different missions, that would be great.

Sort of like MassEffect, only with FPS instead of TPS and probably less movie-like gameplay. (and hopefully no standard skynet/replicant/cylons/shodan/borg or other synthetic a.i.-menace)

I know this is a bit off topic, but I'm curious about something. Have you guys (or anybody else in this business) ever had success requesting to port Japanese made games? Or is there a cultural/language barrier behind such companies to make this near impossible in the future?

I am actually a bit curious about this as well...

I've posted in a number of "Linux-port?"-threads for japanese games (Valkyria Chronicles, Deadly Premonition, Resident Evil, Trails in the Sky, etc. etc.) but I can't recall if I have ever seen some kind of response/reply.
