Thanks Liam for that interesting review. I haven't purchased the game yet. But it convinced me to do so. It's not a problem for me if the story is short, as generally old lucas arts point & clic games take quite some time to be completed. It also seems to be quite different from other Tim Schaffer games. Would be also glad to support Double Fine and Cheeseness for his excellent work on linux for the previous ports and apparently this one too.

Nice progress! Really looking forward to this game. What I like is that they want to do the things right. Great devs!

Thx. Both powercore and annihilation mode are great!

So if both Feral and Slightly Mad Studios are located around the same bus route, knowing that the bus can swim, then could it be a way to cross-platforms?

Hold tight guys, we probably making too much out of this. It surely does not help linux gaming to "bash" devs and porters.

I understand the disappointment, but we have to carry on and continue to be patient and helpful for the devs like we usually do.

It's the tone that makes the music. "your port is crap and perf sucks" and "A couple of users observed performance issue with your recent port, here are my specs: Ryzen R40k , 2Tb of DDR12..." is a different way of saying the same thing. But at the end of the day it makes a big difference.

On top of that being on a good mood when you face problems, even if does not help solving it, as least avoids adding more problem to it :p

I'm not trying to school anyone. But some have to understand that words on the internet have consequences even if we don't see each other faces. Some of these people will probably not change, but at least if we don't flame them and answer them calmly with respect it won't make the fire too big to be extinguished.

We are on an open source OS which has a totally different philosophy from mac and windows. I think it implies that we continue to behave openly and show that our OS choice is also a matter of ideal that we all have.

Honestly there is not that many studios taking us for wallet scum. And I'm quite gratefull that we have so many great devs and great indie people willing to do their best. The same also goes for our community ambassadors.

To conclude (sorry for the big paragraph), many devs appreciate our community. It takes everyone a little restraint in order to carry on with those amazing last years that we had thanks to all of you.

Simply keep up with the good penguin vibe. Keep your extinguisher near you, and peace!

It's quite weird, I took the survey two days ago and it showed me a 0.81% with a small increase on linux and windows 7 64.

It's a little step but a good one.

I bought it to support Feral. The reviews and comments in steam forum were not engaging. And my first moment in the game was not so engaging either. I started the campaign after tutorial, and I better understand the mechanics, I also forget about some of small missing options (like solo skirmish, mouse sensitivity, key remap). It is a lot more enjoyable, especially as the games looks nice and plays pretty well with Vulkan on my side. GTX970 + 381.22. Same average fps, but better overall experience.

I think the multiplayer has big potential. Also I haven't tried it yet, it seems there are a few games available (not many :p), it would be really great if windows mp was working.
Otherwise great port as usual.
