That's about the demo. The full game is denuvo infected, so won't work.

For those that have the game but not the DLC, you get a separate steam key for the DLC.

Nice. Enjoyed the first one, but skipped the second one because I didn't feel like waiting for a second item. Time to do the whole trilogy now!

I already have everything except a few I have no interest in. Hmmmmmm, that's been happening a lot lately. :whistle:

I played it some time ago. Finished a normal and nightmare run in about three hours. Not really one to hurt your brain.

Quoting: liamdaweThey're not a mac publisher though, they used to be.
I did say "was". :P They obviously haven't been one since they started porting games to Linux.

Patiently awaiting this one!

It's a shame the Linux version didn't make the original cut, ...
Neither did the macos version. Which, considering Aspyr was a mac publisher, must have been a tough one.

I was checking the FNA post and went back to the front page. This new article appeared and was reading just a minute after it was posted. And it said 229 views! Not bad at all! Even though some people must be on a refresh loop.

Looks likes something a bit different. Most of the review have more hours in the game than I expected, so it must have a bit of depth to it.

The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: LeopardGame itself is Drm free.

Steam is not = Drm
While game might be intended to be DRM-free, Steam makes everything there DRMed. So don't misinform others please.
That's not true. This only happens when it forces the load of the steam library. Some games don't do it at all. Some allow you to choose (like Shadow Warrior). Those games you can move away from the steam library and will run perfectly fine after you remove steam entirely.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelNice to see they are still trying to deliver.
Does anyone know if they happen to have proper joystick support in yet?
I couldn't get mine to work. That said, I'm not so sure the current method of combat would transfer well to joystick because you don't really control the ship. Instead, you control a crosshair and the ship follows it with yaw and pitch motion. Additionally you do have keyboard control for forward/backward and sideways (strafe) movement (and roll if you want it). It's a bit odd at first, but once you get used to it, it works quite well. I tried it with an xbox360 controller as well, but I couldn't find the accuracy I needed.

However, I think I saw an option to lock the crosshair, so with that it should be possible to get normal joystick control if they make it so you can bind arbitrary axes. I hope they will.
