The first episode, Edna's Escape, is also running well on Linux, as it's written in Java. So, while there hasn't been an official Linux release (yet), running the Windows version is as simple as going to the game's folder and running: java -jar EbaMain.exe w

The page looks great! The only thing one might criticize is, that it will only show data of registered GoL visitors, while the survey could in principle be filled in by anyone who got the link. We'll see if this has significant influence on the sample size.

"Installing the graphics drivers..." That sounds bad, such as fglrx bad...

You have to spend a lot of gold on supplies when entering a dungeon, and you just get a tiny fraction of it back for unused supplies. Entering/Leaving dungeons without finding any loot will have you bankrupt in no time...

I've been playing the Beta for 23 hours already, and haven't had any issues with it (except for the savegame incompatibility between the first two beta versions...).
Makes me wonder what could cause the empty dungeon bug others are seeing. It's probably not a localization issue (what would meanwhile by my #1 guess if something doesn't work on Linux... Many games don't like it when the decimal separator isn't set to '.'), as I've been running Darkest Dungeon with the German locale (which uses ',' as decimal separator)...

Quoting: fagnerlnI was curious about what games I have are Unity3D, so I've looked at this list and I have few of them, mostly indies that I will never play again:

The engine obviously are focused on mobile and weak in PC, the only game with extreme success was Cities Skylines.

There are many more successful PC-games using Unity. Kerbal Space Program, Pillars of Eternity, Cities in Motion 2, Wasteland 2, Hearthstone,… just to name a few.

Quoting: GuestI sure as hell would come across annoyances too if I had to setup a build environment on Windows or OSX!

I've had the honour a few months ago. Getting anything working on Windows is a huge PITA if one is used to code on Linux.

Quoting: GuestEdit: the blog post says:

If your system has X11, ALSA for audio, and an OpenGL 3.2 driver, it should be good.

so it looks like it will be good indeed. Not sure if using ALSA directly is a good idea but we’ll see how much stuttering and crackling people get :)..

I'm curious: Why would using ALSA directly cause such issues?

Quoting: liamdaweOnce it has a downloadable Linux version, direct Steam purchases are fine.
The issues arise with people buying before a Linux version is out, or using keys from resellers.

Ok, already got it ;-)
It seems to be running well with the open source AMD drivers.

I'm wondering: If we buy right now, will this get counted as a Linux or Windows purchase?

Isn't Sunless Sea already available? It was part of some Humble Indie Bundle iirc, and it shows in my Steam Library under Linux&Steam OS.
