Quoting: TcheyIt will be DRM free as sonn as they are satisfy with the stability of the release on Steam.

Ah, Tabula Rasa, a special (good) place in my MMORPG souvenirs...

Good to hear! I've wishlisted it on steam, I've been looking gameplays and reading about the game and it look like a very solid title, I'm sure that people will complain about the ""dated graphics"" but they look good enough for me, after all what matters the most is the gameplay mechanics and that you like the setting and lore, right?

I never had the chance to play Tabula Rasa, but it looked like a good MMO. Isn't there a few projects trying to create a server? I wonder how active those are nowadays. I've heard that they even asked NCSoft for the code, good look with that though...

It kind of reminds me to Tabula Rasa, graphically/setting speaking.

I played all the chapters they've released twice without a crash or any other problem. Guess I'm lucky?

Free? Honestly? That's pretty incredible...

Looks too good to be true, what's the catch?

Quoting: GuestThey have great cutscenes skills, but the ingame graphics look very dated to me in comparison.

They look fantastic to me! That they look "old" doesn't mean that they look "dated" but oh well, I'm the kind of person that watches other isometric graphics from lets say Ultima Online, Fallout (the classics), Baldurs Gate (and other oldies that use the Infinity engine), Kingdom Under Fire (the original), etc and still think that they are a timeless piece of art. But that's just my humble opinion.

Recently I was able to run "Kingdom Under Fire - A War Of Heroes" from my CD and boy oh boy did I have a nostalgia kick, I just wish they add it some day to GOG, since its a bit of a "unknown" gem, incredible game... I just wish it still had a multiplayer community :(

Wine + PlayOnLinux rules!

I wonder why this one has "mixed" reviews on Steam. It looks like a pretty solid title, I bet it is not as good as Deus Ex 1 (probably my nostalgia is tricking me again) but it seems to have the same vibe as Human Revolution, which is more than enough for me. Wish-listed!

I just wish DE:HR gets ported as well some day... Also having DE1 would be nice, but I'm sure it runs great under wine based on WineHQ info.

Just to point out again, they only wrote that because I grilled the author of the original piece on Twitter about how inaccurate his previous piece was ;), see his note at the bottom linking to us :D

Heh, yeah I saw that!

Quoting: TcheyIt's the ultimate combo between all Soldak's previous games. However i still prefer Drox Operative for its space setting. This week they started to talk about the next step : http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37179 [External Link]

Also, i asked :

I'm curious, would you share numbers regarding Linux sells ? Is it worthy to support in your opinion ? Why did you do it ? Would you do it again ? Will you do it again for your next game ?

and Shadow/Soldak said :

It looks like Linux might be about 3% of our sales. From a profit standpoint it probably has not worked out, but I think supporting Linux is nice for other reasons (open OS, don't like the direction Windows/OSX are going, good community, etc).

Unless I changed to a new engine that didn't have Linux support or radically changed the current engine, there really isn't a reason to drop Linux support. I've already done the hard work.

Thanks for the infor @Tchey, I just recently discovered their games.

Not only they are really good but the devs are also really nice guys. I bought Din's Curse and the expansion straight from their site because it was DRM free, I sent them a mail and they gaved me a free Steam Key for both the game and the expansion (how neat is that?!). They also seem to be really active on the forums and reply super fast.

If it is as good as Din's Curse this game is a must have. The graphics look way better while keeping that "old-school" feel.
