Quoting: "Bestia, post: 4219, member: 148"Did they state that somewhere where you could point us at. I didn't notice it myself.

Sure, read their Comments at their kickstarter page.

The good news are that they will get the Linux client anyways, but it will take them longer to do so if they won't get $100,000 .

Now that Nekro is backed and is going to be made for Linux, we can concentrate on [URL='http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1684781151/legends-of-eisenwald?ref=live']Legends of Eisenwald ![/URL]
I actually very positive about it.

Nekro was also going very slow. but after they got published on few websites they managed to get over 150% of their goal !
So it's all about publicity.

And once the project reaches it's goal, more people are willing to pledge, and as their goal is only 50k - I think they manage to suppress 100k.

I kept an eye on this game for a few days now, definitely going to support it when/if they be close to $100,000 .
Meantime Nekro IS going to happen !

Yeah I've donated to both, but the banner saga already exceeded their goal by more then 500%, so they have no money issues.
Nekro on the other hand needs our support more than most.

So the Shadowrun returns Linux port is confirmed now that they passed the 1 Million mark, the 1.5Million mark price (a backers only mission) seems bad and many including me don't like that idea.

Now it's time to try to help the Nekro project : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/343838885/nekro [External Link]
They still haven't reach their minimum goal of $100,000 and their project well deserve it and much more.
The major reason for their failure to raise more money is bad timing, they started the pledge at the same time other great projects started it, and while I did contribute a fair sum, many don't have the money for another pledge this month.

I hope that even if they fail to raise the money, they finish the game and we could buy it later on.

I remember "trying" to play the first Larry game many years ago.
With my poor English at the time (hey, I was 10) it was a real challenge on passing the "entrance exams of the game" (I guess Muhammad Ali isn't an Arabian Terrorist after all...).
But once I've finally got it....I had no clue as what to do.

All commands needed to be written/typed, and as I had no list of commands - I didn't know what could I command.
My friend came to the rescue and typed "give the flower to the girl" , nice I thought, now we gonna have some sex....but then the girl replied "thanks for the flower but you won't get it back".
And thats how it ended.

On the later games I could do more stuff as they introduced a menu of commands, but the last PS2 game wasn't that fun.
The sad thing about all of Larry's games is that he NEVER gets sex....ever (or am I wrong ?).

If it was an original Larry game, I would have pledged.
But as it's Larry 1 with new graphics, I don't think I'll manage to pass much as I suck at those old games that you need to write commands to make the character do anything.
Well...maybe just for the Linux version support...

BTW, This Nekro game looks so cool in concept - but I fear that unlike the other games, he might not reach his funding goal.
I've donated and posted the news about this game on LGN, maybe it will be better for you to make a new separate post about Nekro so people will be more aware of this project.
I really don't want to see it fail to raise the funds.

Thanks
Maxim.

I'm currently Kinda stuck at some puzzle, I think I know what do do...can't wait to try it out ;)

And yeah although the graphics looks very similar, they said it's a whole different engine.

Yeah they sent it to me too ;)
The sound problems were fixed after somehow I've reinstalled ALSA (like 10 times) and restarted my machine (although my "support" kept insisting that I do not need to restart my machine in order for ALSA to work).

The game is great, but it feels like more of the same good stuff we had in Trine1.
And even trough they say the engine is new, it feels very similar (apart from few small things).

My PC is strange, always have strange problems that none else have...
For example, I need to run Minecraft with "sudo" or else my keyboard won't respond ;)
And I have no sound in Java games....

Maybe when I upgrade to the next Ubuntu version things will be better.
