That's good. I played the demo and it worked perfectly with Proton, but a native version is always the preferred option.

I backed this one (even got a caricature done, which was amazing) and am really looking forward to it.

Doug Cockle (aka Geralt The Witcher) as a bad guy should be interesting.

Quoting: tofuheadMicrosoft owns inXile studio? so what makes them qualify as indie developers, and asking support in fig?
.b

They had crowdfunded this game on Fig a long time before Microsoft bought them up (and Obsidian).


Quoting: KimyrielleinXile is a studio that promised Linux support for their last game and (to this date) didn't deliver anything but empty promises.

The new patch (or directors cut, whatever it is) for Bards Tale *should* have Linux support. Wouldn't surprise me if that's the last Linux version we see from them, but who knows.

Quoting: thewhoI like such games very much. Last one i've played was Thimbleweed Park and Fester Mudd. Any other suggestions beside the "original old" ones?

Mages Initiation and Quest for Infamy are both homages to the Quest for Glory series.

What else... Book of Unwritten Tales maybe?

Quoting: hummer010Grim Dawn is finally fixed!! I'm glad to see that - time to re-install!

It works well, but with Proton 4.2 I've started to get the flickering that a few other people have reported. No issues when using the /d3d9 switch, but in that case I don't think it should be rated "Platinum". Very shiny Gold maybe.

EPIC store does not support Linux.

The other day on Twitter someone asked them about Proton on the Epic store, they said they couldn't because of the tech they used. But then went on to say they were hiring Linux people... I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they will be working on a client but its something.

Wow, that song certainly changed half way through. Looks interesting.

I had some issues getting the demo going (as they mentioned on their download page). I vaguely recall other Visionaire games being a bit iffy on Linux too.

I'd be interested to try when all the kinks are worked out.

Reminds me a bit of Overlord, which isn't a bad thing. Was fun to be the bad guy.
