I tell you man if you posted this game on kickstarter with a low pledge to start I really think this game would do well. Hell I would be willing to invest more money into the game. Also I know I have talked to you about this before but if you had a gift system it would also help.

Can not wait to see this come out I am aware that Wasteland 2 picked Unity but after seeing Oil Rush it would have nice to see Wasteland 2 go unigine.

Thank you at least someone agreeing with me. I am not trying to be a prick about this but come on. If you are just willing to through a game on Linux just to get your game into a bundle to make money (Limbo) and it not 100% work like it would for Windows. Then why are you bothering it really leaves a black eye. Also I just beat The Journey Down (again love the game) the last part of the game with the animation was skipping bad on my computer. Also it is funny when they say they will not do a patch for the game with there is either version 1.00 or 1.01 version you can download. So they have done some patching to the game. I am aware that I am complaining a lot but come on Linux users deserves games that work just like Windows users get.

So what all software is perfect??? I really do not think so or again we would all be Windows users. Tell me then why would I have problems with The Journey Down (in game play) and not with any other games. Why would I have problem with Limbo (Sound issue) and many more people that they have to put a thread about this issue. How about Harvest when you have to download a bunch of stuff just to get it running. I have formatted my computer twice just to see if it was my computer and it still does it on all them games. Unless you are the developer of one of these games then please stop defending them. Again new users would just give up on Linux for games with these issues. If you were running these games on Windows you would not have this issue.

Ok so not to be rude to you or anything but really. You have no idea what hard ware I have and this is the first game in along time that I have had a in game issue like this. With out the developers wanting to try to work it out they just gave up. I can not see it being a driver issue but with out them going over some stuff there is no way to find out. I understand that no game is perfect but holly HELL.
Look at Overgrowth that game has been in development for what almost 2 years. Hell look at any operating system it may come out with bugs but at least they are willing to work bugs out. Look at Harvest it was way to much of a pain in the but to get working. Look at Limbo on the humble bundle. That game has sound issues and there is TONS of people with the same issue for sound there. It's funny I know a lot about Linux (Ubuntu) and I tell you if I was a new user and had this much issues I would go back to windows. If you want new users to drop Windows for Linux then you have to make it as easy to do that. But we look at of its a driver issue not the programs fault. If that was the case then Windows would be the best OS out there. But nope they come out with TONS of patch's.
Hell look and Limbo they know there is a issue and will not fix it right either. But for them to get Humble Bundle money they quickly put a Linux version with a emulator on it. Sorry if you are not willing to put effort into a linux game (and there are companies that are putting effort into it) then don't put it out.

The two bugs stop the game and you can not do anything but restart computer. It is when you look at the cash register and when you get the ceiling fan. I have tried this on two different computers and was able to get it to crash both times. Just frustrated that first the humble bundle games was not working right and not this bundle games don't work right. I even had issues getting Harvest to work right.

Hey there my first time posting not first time talking to you :-). I would have to say the game looks great just two issues for myself and that would be it.
1. I have talked to you before about when you are pushing a item there is no animation for him to push the box. It is not a big deal but this kind of takes away from things just saying.
2. You should allow people to gift the game so people can buy the game for people on your site. I am aware that you can buy it then give them the game but it would be nice for a gift system like Humble Bunle has.
Other then these two issues great looking game will be getting soon. Oh and you should look at getting your games on the Ubuntu Software Centre ASAP :-).
