The trailer makes the game look much more fun than I was expecting from the article title. I think the offspring would really like this; made me laugh too.

I just might show up to board game night with these dice someday. I will probably wait until after Kickstarter though, assuming they'll have a normal way to order them without donating $$ at the same time.

These are ultra geeky. But in the right circle, really fun!

Quoting: foobrewI wish it was on Steam but I guess they have their reasons for not supporting that platform. Looks like it's $2 cheaper to buy directly from them but you have to create an account on their site first. Does GOL get any kickback from buying directly from them or only through Humble?

- Update -
I just picked it up from Humble (via the GOL) link. Looks like the extra $2 vs. the developer's site just goes to charity so that's fine with me.

Looks like I'm too late. I was gonna say I bought it long ago on Itch.io... oh, upon looking now, they only have an old release on Itch to act as a demo and you can't buy the game there anymore. Bummer.

Regarding an account, the developer has actually posted here around 1-2 years ago that the game does a one-time purchase validation and then you don't have to sign in anymore.

This looks pretty fun. I hope they release to GOG though.

Gotta try this

On the funding model, I compare to Magic. You walk into a brick and mortar store never having played Magic before. An employee says, "Hey, give it a shot," and hands you a free demo deck (30 cards). You get a good idea how the game works at its basic level. Maybe you want more now, so you buy a starter deck. You get bored of your options there, so you start buying booster packs, etc.

I don't see anything wrong with selling a digital card game product the same way. Where you can go wrong is: no demo mode to try it out, or unfair advantage for those who buy more cards. It's hard to balance, yes, but the people who have more cards should ideally just have more variety and those with fewer cards should still be able to win. I never played Artifact, so I don't know what the paid cards situation was like, but I know Valve failed giving a free taste.

As I'm an infant starting to learn how to make games, this news is very exciting!

I'm also learning how to use Unity Engine.

Turns out I have set up Mint for someone inexperienced. I believe I'm remembering correctly that I turned on automatic security updates. It's worth checking out next time I'm over there. I also don't remember what release they're on. It's been a while now... but I'm thinking it's 19.x

I'm not surprised to see this news at all, however I'm actually a little disappointed. How can you continue to work with a company that controls all your assets and is unreachable? I don't get it.

I got tired of WW2 games a long time ago. Zombies are boring to me too. BUT I am dying for a good shooter on Linux with good graphics that I can play with my friends, be it co-op or team-based multiplayer. Remember Rainbow Six? SWAT 4? Insurgency (old now)? The Battlefield series? Games like that are still weak in the Linux market. This Projekt Z wouldn't be interesting to me if I had more choices, but since I don't, I'll be watching for its release.
