Quoting: fleskJenny LeClue just reached their target and Bolt Riley is only missing $3K with 15 hours to go.

It succeeded! Score another one for The Funding Crowd! :D

Truth be told, some of their games are Linux-compatible for the first time. And I'm not only talking about Wine-bottled ones like FlatOut: CLARC [External Link] for instance is native and it had never been available on Linux before.

PS: I bought it. :P

Quoting: GuestIs the Linux version available outside Steam? Desura doesn't show it as available (at least for me).

You're right. As it seems [External Link] it's only been available at the Ubuntu Software Center, so no wonder there hasn't been much appreciation for it. :huh:

Quoting: nonoWhy do you wait for Steam Version while you can DRM free version on Desura ? Do you like DRM?

No, please! Don't sparkle that debate yet again! :P

Although I don't understand that attitude either (specially with regards to a game with no multiplayer). If you want to play it, why can't you do it outside of Steam?

Quoting: GuestI did leave a comment asking for the platforms, but I’m not sure if it went through because I landed on a login/register page after sending it. Anyway, can’t find any mention of any platform or engine or tool anywhere. Too bad… :-/

Nope, you need to be logged in for the message to be sent. That's why I cannot do it myself, for the reasons explained earlier. :(

Quoting: SpeedsterHm... that may have been jumping to a conclusion based on it being developed in Unity. Is there any way to contact the project creators like the "contact me" link on kickstarter...

There's no such direct way of contacting the creators on Indiegogo campaigns. What I always do is post a comment [External Link] that, if you're not a backer, will remain private and only the creators will be able to see it. 99% of the time they notice it and answer, either with a public comment or with a personal email.

EDIT: I would do it myself, but I can't since my Indiegogo account got "restricted" (whatever that means) and any attempt to contact their support has been fruitless. :><:

I have the same Godzilla issue on Ubuntu 12.10 (@1080p), so I guess it's not a distro-specific problem. I wonder if it happens the same on Windows, though...

Quoting: pbThanks for that info! I loved Lost Vikings and also played the sequel in DosBox. Now I really can't wait to play Trine. ;-)

Wait, what?! Is there a sequel to The Lost Vikings? I'll have to find it and play the hell out of it, then! :woot:

It's also available at the Humble Store which seems to include a DRM-free version, but don't get fooled as I did! There are only DRM-free versions for Windows and Mac, not for Linux! I contacted the HB support team to no avail until now (I should've gone straight to the developers, I guess...)

Quoting: WorMzyStill waiting on Giana Sisters from the last bundle.. :/

To be fair, they just said the port would be ready "later this year" and we still are 5/12 into it. :P I guess they didn't want another Vessel affair.

Quoting: WorMzyAre these all confirmed as being Linux-compatible? Or are there more developers that don't want our money?

I'm still downloading Breach & Clear, but I can say the rest work fine... with the exception of Skulls of the Shogun: at the end of the installation process it complains about not being able to "install the desktop menu item" and then proceeds to revert everything. If you keep the installer open and don't let it finish, you can actually play the game, but it's annoying as hell... :><:
