Quoting: Quote from gubsHmm, does anyone know if this works with Jagged Alliance Online?

It tends to have problems with more complex games but... Just try it out :)

Quoting: Quote from Half-ShotSounds really cool, I haven't had that much experience with Unity3D web games but I'm sure this can pave some of the way for developers that don't want to think about packaging games.

I'd say no. Pipelight is not an official solution and it has no warranty of working properly (while it mostly does). It is still Wine after all. This is not the right way for developers, but it is a good way for Linux gamers to widen their gaming possibilities.

Why not just bundle all necessary libraries (FFmpeg etc) in proper versions along with Castawesome? :3

Yeah, I played the early demo available on their website like a year ago or so and it was prety impressive already. Unforgettable atmosphere of survival and entertaining gameplay provided by interesting game mechanics. I will purchase it when it will be 100% complete.

A must-try for you guys! Demo version here: http://bluebottlegames.com/main/node/21

I've found another one worth backing up:

It is called Scraps and was featured already on GOL here:

Crimsonland! I played it when it was Windows-only game, now they want to release reedition with Linux support, I gave them my greenlight instantly when I saw it!

Played this game much when it was in alpha - and it was awesome these days. Current game version was rewritten from the scratch, so it is much different than alpha - the gameplay pace changed much, however the game gained plenty of new content.

Don't mistake current full version (available on Steam) for the free version (KAG Classic), also available on their website and on Desura.

I simply cannot understand, what is the big deal - to bundle DOSBox with some libraries (which is they actually are doing right now on Windows, right?), alternatively bundle just a few libraries. Humble installers from Ryan Gordon somehow achieved it. They have incredible potential, because they could even bundle specific custom Wine releases for big amount of games that are known to work rated as 'platinum' in Wine.

And yes, even if they decided to support only Ubuntu LTS, thats all fine as well. Valve somehow can do it, and rest of Linux distros simply adapted.

I assume, they just don't understand Linux and they are not really into it. Remember that Liam talked with PR representatives. They won't simply say 'we dont give a shit about your platform, it wont bring us enough benefit'. They have to put it nicely. With PR bullshit like we've read.

Seriously, I guess it will be better to focus on giving money to those who are willing to support us (as stated, Steam, Desura, ShinyLoot, Gameolith) and deal with no official support from GOG (you can still run their games in DOSBox and Wine tho if you really want to).
