Quoting: EhvisThere are a few games on Linux that resemble Diablo. Torchlight is the obvious one. Others (like Victor Vran) may have a few notable differences, but I hope Last Epoch will do its own thing as well.Yeah but really not much else, which was more my poorly worded point :)

Quoting: yochaigalWhen I have Steam Play enabled, it lets me install regardless of beta.They mentioned on Twitter after I poked them again, that it should be fixed if you didn't see already.
When I have Steam Play disabled, it gives me the invalid platform response.

Quoting: theghostThe game looks really interesting.Depends. I find tons of games to be repetitive but the key factor is fun, do you find it fun? I find Pathway fun.
@Liam: Some negative rewievs mention a repetitive and not so deep gameplay. What's your opinion about this?

Quoting: KonGreat game, but be warned that the native Linux version has never received the patches pushed to the Windows version.This is already clearly noted in the article FYI.

Quoting: TheRiddickThe whole idea of terraforming mars is a bit of a pipe dream. The amount of energy and resources needed makes it impractical and impossible for humans to achieve, but whatever..It's a game.

Dear Liam, can you ask/confirm to Tate Multimedia... Is it them still the same developers/companies who developed the "Kao the Kangaroo" series on Game Boy Advance/PS2 in 2000's era?
If true... Tell them:
Please start "re-sell" Kao the Kangaroo back! Imma big fan!
I will buy it. Hell, I will buy all their games, as long not on EGS..

Quoting: DuncSounds awesome. I never really got all that far in SM when I first played it, and going back to it recently I realised there's a lot of stuff in there which I didn't expect that keeps your interest going once you've got a nice colony ticking along and it might otherwise start to wane (no spoilers for anyone who doesn't have it, but long-time players will probably know what I'm talking about). Absolutely brilliant game.Yup! It certainly does have a slow start, but it's wonderful when you start getting through some research and build up a big colony.

Quoting: ironheadI absolutely adore "Kingdom classic", from graphics to sound and gameplay, everything felt quite perfect.
After opting in to the beta public-test steam still says that this is played via Proton.
Is there anything else I need to do to get to the Linux beta?
Quoting: yochaigalYeah, I have the same issue: no beta access code; when I go to install it says "An error occurred while updating Kingdom Two Crowns (invalid platform)".Is it working for you now? The developer said on Twitter they've had others have success. I'm a little confused if they have, since the Linux content according to SteamDB still doesn't include Steam store purchases...
