Diamond Edition was my first Linux game! Does any one know if the original still runs on Linux?

Probably the best dwarf-fortress-like out there. I believe It's DRM free from the devs website (I bought mine there long ago) and $30 is totally worth it for what you get. Yes, it's slimmer than df, but still can be brutally hard. I think its more streamlined and focused take benefits the game over all.

Hopefully, I'll get to play a little Rimworld or maybe Star Trader: Frontiers. But first I have some rush appliance repair I need to do. The parts store closes at lunch time.

Ahhh, the joy of rebuilding a drier in my flood prone basement. So glad we're getting 12.5cm of rain today...

Rimworld. Just started it Thursday. Haven't played in a while, loving the updates.

Quoting: liamdaweWay more expansive than FTL. FTL is very linear compared to this, nothing alike.

Thanks! I think You helped me make up my mind!

How is it in terms of content volume / quality? Like is it more along the lines of FTL (limited, but very focused) or more expansive in scope (alla space rangers 2 or star sector)?

Thanks in advance.

Quoting: GGLucasHi all. One of the original Star Ruler 2 devs here.
...

The SR2 dev team all moved on to different jobs after the game was completed a few years ago (some of us in the game industry, some of us outside of it). We didn't use a publisher for SR2 though, so you would still be supporting us directly by purchasing the game on steam or GOG.

Thanks for replying. I've added the game to my wishlist for my next purchase. The game Built for me just fine. I saw the post in the Steam forums about where you and the other Dev's are. I want to wish you all best of luck in your endeavors.

So.....

Game doesn't always work when bought for Linux
Dev's pull game for sale
Dev's promise to continue to push updates to Linuxers who bought the game
Dev's will consider selling again if/when they can fix the problems

Ummm..... Sad, but kinda reasonable?

I'd hate to see what some of us would do when we go to the grocery and find the Lettuce was pulled due to contamination... I'd feel victimized too if I had only Kale available...

Many kudos to these devs. Will be compiling tonight to see if it'll run on my old laptop.

Question: if they are "not active", who gets the money from a steam or GOG purchase?

If it works for me, I'd consider buying it for the music and to support the dev.
