I managed to get an early look at what will be one of Linux's only semi-realistic racers

So which is it? The only one, or one of them?

More seriously, I hope they still have the discount when it's released on August 10th so that it is counted as one more Linux purchase (I won't be able to play it until the 18th so I won't pre-order...)

Great little puzzle game! I finished it under Wine though it was a bit of a pain to get it to run (I actually created an appdb entry for it). Looks pretty, nice audio, challenging but not too hard and not long. Definitely recommend it.

"A Growth Is A Growth.... Right?"

It could be cancerous, you should have it looked at...

I'm pretty certain that LOG was ported to Linux by Humble Bundle for HIB7 and that Almost Human had nothing much to do with the actual Linux port. So as other people have said, if they don't want our money now, play something else for the next year or so and pick up LOG2 for a dollar in HIB20 or whatever.

From a financial point of view, he's right. Given the number of Linux gamers right now (never mind just the ones who would actually buy the game) his company would not make their money back. So you either do it for the love of Linux or cross-platform compatibility or because you want to get it in a Humble Bundle (who may end up porting it anyway).

The bigger worry here is there simply aren't enough Linux games to justify a game port and our numbers are simply not growing fast enough. The Steam hardware survey may not be the best indicator but I would have thought that we would have broken 2% - 3% by now given the attention Linux gaming has been getting the last year or two.

As Beamboom said above, SteamOS and the Steam Machines are pretty much the only path to growth. And until (if?) that happens we'll have to live with the chicken 'n' egg problem: not enough users to justify porting and not enough ports to attract users.

Quoting: MightyTrollzorAwesome! Good thing i got a few keys when they where free on humble. :D

This is Warlock 2. The game that was free on Humble was Warlock (1) which is Windows only.

I game on Linux because I've been using Unix since the late 80s and have been on Linux pretty much exclusively since the 90s. I'd rather struggle with Wine daily than actually have to use Windows.

Quoting: flesk@seamoose: You sir have excellent taste in games.

Thanks! I love reading these "what are you playing now" articles (RPS does them as well). They're even better when people write mini-reviews (one or two lines at most) about their impressions instead of just listing the games they play.
