Quoting: Purple Library Guywho know enough to know there are other, enemy, "teams" out there.

Hats off to you Purple Library Guy, that whole post is bang on. Although Linux users have been known to be just as tribal. Same as Win vs Mac vs Linux...iPhone vs Android... PS4 vs Xbox. Its all pretty stupid when you think about it. Just like what you want to like.

Reminds me a little of this clip (NSFW language)

I've had the same video card for a while now. There just doesn't seem to be a need to upgrade! I think it's mainly due to consoles, but maybe Vulkan will give it an extra little bit of life too.

Weird. I've got a Nvidia GPU but have never seen that screen corruption issue before. Nice to see it fixed though.

Quoting: PatolaI can't see a good reason why anyone with a reasonable budget wouldn't make it 3D nowadays

It would ruin this game like it ruined QFG 5.

I like my women hot, my beer cold, and my adventure games in 2D!

Quoting: razing32Don't AGS games run like crap on linux ? Or am I wrong ?

I run them with Wine/Proton instead of a native AGS, and they seem to work fine.

I really wanted to like Hero-U (and still put a number of hours into it) but I fall into the category of people who find it off-putting. I loved the QFG games, but having a timed adventure/RPG was just a kick in the pants.

I liked the characters (even romanced one) and the combat was fine - I just wish you weren't rushed! Felt more like "Jones In The Fast Lane" than QFG.

Just when you think you can stop drinking, Wine 4.0 has another release candidate available

You're really getting a lot of mileage out of that joke, aren't you Liam? :) But it's basically a GoL tradition now, so carry on old son.

I would imagine they would finish up any of their current commitments, but new games from here on in will be Windows/Xbox exclusive.

Quoting: KuromiSorry, WHAT? Primordia? But this game is runs on linux on its own...

It can run with Linux AGS, yes. But now its super easy, and will show them how many Linux users they have.

At the end of the day, it ends up as a Linux sale. So I'm happy enough with that. Its not perfect, sure, but such is life.
