Will you be picking it up at release?

We are in the age of purchasing well after release.

That being said, I will be watching with interest with how it turns out, especially now that embracer is no longer involved in its publication.

Gnome is not for me and I never can get along with the kde versions from the past decade.

Xfce gets out of the way and is adaptable to my preferences with the least effort and little to no risk of me messing it up in a way that requires waaaaaaaay too long to figure out how to fix.

Amusingly, the amount of kde software that I use does keep growing. It's a varied list that includes kwrite, kolourpaint, okular, konverter, konversation and kupfer. Kde software just integrates so gracefully on my mint xfce install, both visually and in the usability department.

Really a big fan of mint.

However, in preparation for my yearly round of open source donations I have been taking my usual cursory glance at the financials of the projects that I will fund.

I am extremely surprised at their lack of clarity on who or what organisation is managing their donations and on their spending. Basically, I have a better grasp on how gamingonlinux finances are managed than those of the linux mint team, whatever that is (a company? A non-profit? A club? A bunch of people?).

Not what I expected from such a big and long established project.

I am an unfan of branding on my hardware (or, indeed, any stuff), doubly so for branded functionality such as a "windows", "copilot" or, in this case, "steam" key/button.

Got my original cd's.

Got stratagus [External Link] installed.

I'm fine.

Btw, war1gus and wargus include automated installers compatible with the gog versions.

So, bioshock games have no launcher at all when getting them from gog? (did the gog versions ever have one?)

That sale looks tempting now...

Quoting: Technopeasant

Quoting: ElectricPrismThese titles are so old they should license the code as open source and dump it on the net. It would do well for their legacy and reputation to immortalize their roots.

Last I heard, Sweeney said he would, but there are too many libraries used.

That was nearly ten years ago. I am thinking that if, by now, they haven't hired a team to dig through the code to replace those dependencies, chances are that it will never be done.

The oldunreal team also seems to be too small for a project of this scope.

Quoting: KlaasThis has been my biggest disappointment of the week. When I saw the start of the title, I thought that it was a release announcement. I've been waiting for the game for a long time. :unsure:

For me the biggest pleasant surprise; I hadn't noticed (or plainly forgotten) the original reveal. In fact, I managed to miss the existence of this dev entirely up to now :grin:

Is that the game or is it the license to the game that is free to keep? ^_^

Am I correct in assuming that this game, like their other ones, is an ags game, hence going to be playable via scummvm?

Haven't played any game by this dev, yet. At the moment, they are all on sale over at gog, so I think I will test how scummvm runs them on my phone and/or pi.

"Test," that is ^_^
