"This new edition combines all five episodes of the original game into one complete and continuous story."

So this edition integrates the first episode: "the longest journey" (1999)?

I just tested the new Machinarium version: it works very well with wine 2.10 staging. I didn't test with other wine version. It seems more polished, more translation and more adapted for modern computer and HD screen.

If you like adventure game and puzzle, this game is a must to have. The windows flash version works very well with wine, I hope it will be the same for the new directx version. Once more time someone have to say to the developpers it's better to choose Vulkan for a multiplatform game, so why they choosed directx?

Quoting: buenaventuraWhat does Staging mean, really? I've interpreted it as similar to "experimental" or some such.

Staging is a branch of Wine with experimental patchs, for example:

CSMT (Commandstream multithreading) for better graphic performance
CUDA / PhysX / NVENC Support for NVIDIA graphic cards
DXVA2 GPU video decoding (experimental)
EAX 1 support
Fixes for various upstream regressions
GTK 3 theming support
Loading of .NET CLI images without entry point
Performance improvements for IO-heavy programs and memory allocation functions
S3 texture compression (DXTn) support
Support for allocating more than 32 GB of memory
Support for installing MSU files
Support for Vulkan
Various improvements to d3dx9
Various speed improvements (shared memory, RT priority)
Windows ACL support

This game makes me think of a mix of Bubble Bubble and Ghost'n goblins, look funny.

From WIne site:

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

Not an emulator, not a virtual machine, it's an API translator between WIndows and Linux.

It was a pain the last time I tried to to compile it. But I found a very good community support on her Github site.
Is the Vulkan gpu plugin finally available for Linux?

I'll buy it as soon as the Linux version out. But no Linux port, no buy.
