Quoting: fleskAccording to one of the developers (writer and designer), the old Linux version on GOG used "GOG's proprietary wrapper":

... whatever that means. Possibly just a Linux native AGS binary, or maybe an AppImage with Wine?

It's a native AGS build on GOG, actually.

I know that GOG made their own native builds for WadjetEye's Blackwell 4 und 5 (Dave Gilbert, aka. Mr. WadjetEye Games, confirmed that during a livestream). So my guess is that they did it for Primordia, too.

I asked the devs a while ago about a Linux version of their editor. Their answer was that they might do it at some point. And now they are really doing it, nice!

It's likely that they will also upload a demo version of the editor for Linux. For those who are unsure whether the engine is worth the price.

I've bought the "first access" version of this game around 2 years ago. It was interesting to see the progress since then. Can't wait for the final release.

The executable didn't work for me. But running the .jar file with java -jar om101_drm_free.jar worked like a charm.

I hesitated to get the game on Steam because I prefer DRM-free options. It seems I've made the right decision. Grabbed it right away from GOG now. :)

The Humble Caffeine Bundle is out with some top Linux games included

For those who don't have Tyranny and/or Shadow Tactics yet. The highest tier of this bundle is worth it for each of the two games alone. Same for Pillars Of The Earth and This War Of Mine. All in all a fine bundle. :)
