Quoting: maokeiLover the art style! This could endup being a really cool game im not sure If I want to contribute yet though 88k is the streetch goal for Linux, "Hopefully" it will be reached otherwise it would be a waste of my money and time.

Well their current trending is to over 200K, so once it reaches 88K be sure to chip in ;)

Quoting: LinuxianThanks RuneSoft for bringing up new games to Linux through Desura. I wondered why the developers were quite silent on ongoing projects that seem dead today. Just look at their page :
https://bitbucket.org/runesoftdev/ [External Link]

Games still to be released :
- Ankh
- Ankh 2
- Anlh 3
- Pinball 3D
- Knight & Merchants

Hopefully they will be released soon (or never ?)

From what I know only one guy is doing the Linux ports at RuneSoft, so don't expect quick releases.

Quoting: paupavYou are very arrogant. It's not about AMD it is about OpenGl. OpenGl is messy API and need to improve fast.

Wikipedia:
addition to the features required by the core API, GPU vendors may provide additional functionality in the form of extensions.
And OpenGl doesn't have basic features so gpu vendors have to add extensions.

OpenGl needs drastical changes or people will abandon it. Now when Valve is in OpenGl group its time for change.

No, I just happen to know a lot about AMD drivers thanks. OpenGL supporting extensions doesn't mean OpenGL doesn't have basic features, jeez talk about talking out of your ass.

I used AMD chips for 5-6 years before finally switching to Nvidia.

Also it is "OpenGL", not "OpenGl" as you call it.

Quoting: Kamilko47And what?
There will be on Steam? When?

That is up to the main publisher, so it could be tomorrow to never.

Quoting: gbudnyI can't agree with this article that Earth 2140 Gold Edition is the old game because I didn't have a chance to played it on Linux. I remember that Runesoft ported Earth 2140 to Amiga OS and Mac OS X, but I think this first day when I can buy version for Linux.

I don't quite get what you're talking about.

The game IS old, as stated it the article it was originally released in 1997, new to Linux doesn't make it new.

Quoting: jonprydeJust checked out StarConflict on steam via my Linux Mint desktop, and it actually is downloading from steam (linux version).

I'll report back if it actually launches and plays.. I like StarConflict.. it's a nice alternative to Freelancer from the early 2000's.

It won't launch, trust me. It's not released yet.

Quoting: DrMcCoyOkay. :)

Would have been nice of them to mention the platforms everywhere, though.

I completely agree, some websites like 11bit just don't list them at all, it does get frustrating.

Quoting: DrMcCoyMaybe I'm blind, but I didn't see any mentioning of Linux (or Mac OS X, or Windows, or any platform, really) anywhere. Not in the trailer video, not on their website, not in the forums, not in their Twitter feed. Where did you get that from?

Granted, 11bit Studios released multiplatform games in the past, but it wouldn't be the first time for a studio to suddenly stop doing that.

It was confirmed to me via email (PR email), so no external source.

Yeah, An online capable version of Don't Starve would be quite the money maker with persistent online worlds.

I seriously hope they are going to do one in future. If not, someone else is bound to use it as a basis for their own game.
