Quoting: MayeulCWhat would be interesting for them is to take a (slightly) lesser cut if the game is cross-platform. Everyone would be happy about this, I think, especially bean counters :)
now that is one of the best ideas i've heard in a while to boost Linux-acceptance among the devs...too bad valve is not looking into this comments xD
I know for a fact a few people at Valve do read stuff here now and then :)

Quoting: liamdaweIf anyone in the EU picks it up, do let me know the correct price for Booster Packs and Tickets so I can add it in.
Packs are €1.75. I can't see any way to purchase tickets while I still own the ones that came with the game.
Thanks, added it in.

Quoting: liamdaweI would like to point out, even as rubbish as I am with simply the starter content you're given for purchasing it - I've won quite a lot of games against people with a lot of cards I don't have. Buying more cards isn't always the answer, knowing how to use the cards you've got together is.
Is that also the case at competitive drafting (which is paid by tickets) ?
With drafting, both sides pick cards out of stuff at random, even stuff you don't own.
Thx for the answer, Liam.
Did you try Keeper's Draft alreay? How balanced is the matchmaking at this drafting?
Do I understand that right, that Keeper's Draft costs tickets and also booster packs from your inventory and you might win new tickets and packs?
Only for the expert mode. There's draft modes available for casual too :). All the fun, none of the risk.

Quoting: XpanderThat image on the article looks exactly like the level in Shadow Warrior, just with pixel graphics
Now you mention it, I see what you mean :D

Quoting: GuestI'm note sure if this is a game - because it mostly plays itself. I'm doing the second tutorial match and it's all about the enemies pulling OP cards while I struggle to summon anything. Every lane has a predictable fate from the beginning so far.
Well, yeah. The tutorial is very specific to walk you through...

You can't judge gameplay like that.

Ps. I was also on the Destination Linux podcast [External Link] which just went up, I talk a bit about it there too.

Quoting: TobyHaynesMy youngest son runs around with various Legendary weapons mounted on the side of his behemoth vehicles and has a great time. Multiplayer appears to be "non-toxic" too - people get on and play.
I've noticed people often play actual roles too, I've seen so many people be a dedicated healer - very nice to see.

Feral Interactive are teasing another Linux port

Quoting: pbThat Pegasus rider looks very much like Agent 47. "Where are we going?" How about New Zealand for starters? :-)

No, but seriously, the rider is obviously a valkyrie, so Valkyria Chronicles 4. Made by Sega, so the possibility is strong.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 might be interesting, but it seems like a title that isn't popular enough for Feral. Looking on Steam, it has less than 1K reviews, pretty niche title it seems.
