Quoting: Purple Pudding2) tried it with a smartphone: can't check the "no DLC" checkbox (but maybe I'm just a bit clumsy)
Is that with Firefox mobile? Works in chrome on Android.
Yeah, Firefox on Android.
Yeah, it's the same issue with our login page. Firefox mobile for some reason keeps breaking checkboxes, unsure as to what the issue is exactly. Been investigating it for the past few weeks. Still looking into it.

UPDATE #2: The developer has told me [External Link] it will support Linux during Early Access, but the Linux release may be 1-2 weeks late.

Quoting: CyrilLiam, have you took a look at Liberapay ?
-> https://en.liberapay.com/ [External Link]
It needs more visibility in my opinion.
I don't wanted to donate with Patreon, so thank you for Paypal Support, i donated. ;)
I have been meaning to speak to them, to check if we are a valid project for them. Will make a note of it. Bug me about it if you don't hear from me about it.

Thank you for the donation :)

Quoting: Lolo01Pledge done a week ago.
I don't understand how to get supporter badge :P
You're doing a great job, thanks.
Pledges are taken on the 1st of each month, so it's usually a few days after then I go through the list :)

Quoting: ripperHave you seen what https://flattr.com [External Link] has done with Flattr 2.0?
Last time I used flattr, we had them up for quite a long time and they paid out like £10 once during that time. It just wasn't worth it. The problem with all these smaller payment systems is that we need to hit the threshold on each of them to get a payment, plus I then need to add in the time expense for dealing with taxes for each additional revenue stream and it can get a little messy.

Quoting: Purple PuddingAbout the Sales page:
1) is it still in beta right? Can't see it in the site menu
Very much beta! So much beta I should put a beta sticker on it.

Quoting: Purple Pudding3) are you going to continue the articles about Bundles and Wednesday Sales? I hope yes, they are great!
Yep, the sales page is there for anyone who wants to make use of it. It will not replace sales articles, just an additional service for us to offer to the community.

Quoting: Purple PuddingWell, other than that, this site is wonderful. You are the reason I'm still on Linux and the reason my wallet is empty: I should hate you for this but I can't. Scrooge McDuck is looking at me with shame.
Hah! Thanks for the kind words!

Quoting: Purple PuddingAbout the higher tiers rewards, how about some original merch stuff that you do not sell for everyone? Like signed things or GOL pants (with "GNU/Balls" on the front:D) or a GOL Mug filled with salt by Samsai himself.
Be creative with that merch store!
Also, about it, why I can't see GOL penguin in there? I want a plush of him and stickers!
Will keep those ideas in mind, limited run merch is actually quite expensive to do really. As for the official GOL penguin, that should come in future :)

Quoting: adila01I feel that the Patreon donation levels can be improved. There is a huge gap between Premium Plus and "Sin made me do this one". Creating levels at $15 a month and $25 a month may get some existing patreon's to upgrade. The $500 and $1000 is a bit too high and the names of it makes the site look unseemly. Those are just my thoughts.
The super high tiers are basically a joke, i don't expect anyone to actually use them. However, I admit they are a bit on the silly side so I will likely remove them so we dont give off the wrong idea.

As for adding some reasonable higher tiers, that's very difficult for a site like this considering 99% of what we do everyone has access to. Existing Patrons have already said clearly they dont want anyone locked out of anything more and im quite against any sort of timed articles for higher tiers.

If you have any nice ideas do let me know! :)
The Fallout-inspired 'ATOM RPG' will launch on into Early Access next month with Linux support (updated)
31 Oct 2017 at 2:08 pm UTC
UPDATE: It's possible it may not launch with Linux support, as the developer post on their Steam forum here [External Link], which loosly translates to say it will be Windows only at launch. Confusing, since they are already listing "SteamOS + Linux" system requirements. I've reached out to ask what's going on.
Wine 3.0 expected this year with Direct3D 11, roadmap for future releases includes OpenGL Core contexts

Quoting: Sir_Diealot'rather bright future' is a very optimistic take on this. Yes, there are a bunch of plans, but is there the manpower? It doesn't look like it. I'm a bit shocked that wine-staging seems to be so separate from wine and that so few patches make it into regular wine.
Considering how well Wine has developed over the past year, yeah I'm pretty optimistic about the future of the project.

What makes you say they don't have the manpower?

It seems Wine-Staging discussions are on their agenda.

Quoting: michaDoes the Steam Logo now imply it will be on SteamOS/Linux? Just asking since I don't see any other indication..
Quoting: the article. In the backer rewards section, towards the bottom of the campaign, they do have a Linux icon to show they will support Linux. They also emailed it in to us directly, so there's that too.

Quoting: dubigrasuOK, probably someone will slap me on the wrist for saying this...but I have this nagging feeling that Gordon is wasting his talents lately (when porting games is concerned).
He is too good to not use his immense experience on titles with bigger impact, just saying, don't kill me.
Part of the problem, is that the bigger the game, the more complicated a port likely is. Which means more time would be involved in porting it.

Also, there's nothing saying he's not working on others too, I mean this was one of two Icculus ports released in the same week. The other currently being in Beta.
