Quoting: CorbenYeehaaw!

When I talked to the CEO of Rockfishgames about the Linux version, he said he thinks they are doing the port for about 1000 people at max... let's prove him wrong!

Yup.
Already bought.

Good to hear they are making progress.
Will wait till full release to buy though.

Hmm . It seems to be free to play and from the combat vids on youtube you can play solo.
So how do they monetize this ?

Quoting: slaapliedjeSo, sorry to bring up an old topic here, but was just trolling around Atari forums and thought "You know, maybe I could use RPG Maker to recreate some of the great oldies like the DunjonQuest games! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunjonquest [External Link] so then I started looking on humble bundle store (I think that's where I got at least one of the older versions of the program) and noticed their store page doesn't even show Linux support for RPG Maker MV. So I sent them a request to add that to their store page.

Anyone make anything cool with this yet?

RPG Maker MV is kinda pricey sadly :(

As for DunjonQuest, I am impressed about the one from 85.
Would not expect it too look so nice for that time.

Quoting: stretch611AAA... obviously it does not imply quality whenever it refers to EA.

Years ago, After the launch of C&C 4, the last EA title I bought, I was enrolled into their beta program for the upcoming Red Alert 3. I noticed that it said it required internet access to play and immediately did not like or want that feature. Ultimately, it was something else that caused me to leave the beta program, but I honestly forget what, other than a different bad decision at EA.

Even EA did start supporting linux, I doubt I would ever buy anything from them ever again. I avoid anything for android from them like the plague, and the last time I bought anything from Popcap games was right before EA bought them. After titles like Simcity (the rebooted one with required internet access) and the multiple stories that appear from time to time about how people can't even play single player on older titles after EA turns their servers off, I feel more than justified and happy to avoid EA.

I am more than happy to support smaller indie type developers... you are more likely to get better support and actually new unique games that are different than mass market titles.

It is very sad, because I do remember when EA was just a distributor in the process selling indie games back in the Commodore/Atari era. I loved those games... the original Archon, Pinball Construction Set, M.U.L.E., Populous, and Racing Destruction Set (I might have screwed up that last title, the one where you built the cars and racetracks for a dirt rally road race.)

/end old person rant... :P

Slightly younger person and I agree completely.
They butchered Dungeon Keeper with a mobile port. So other people made War for the Overworld which is in essence what EA should have done.
They killed Dead Space with micro transactions for crafting in the 3rd one.
Like you said they killed Sim City so others made City Skylines.Again what EA should have done.
Sims games are now a mess of DLC as far as I can tell.
C&C is dead. I'm more hopeful from mod projects for Open Ra then I am for EA.

I do want bigger publishers putting their games on Linux , but at the same time I cannot ignore what the industry is today. A hodge-podge of anti consumer practices. From pre-order game , to pre-order DLC(season pass) , micro transactions , loot crates etc.

There is a joke that EA is the worst (gaming) company in the US because Ubisoft is in Europe. (and presumably Konami is in Japan)

Seems like somebody likes the old Castelvania games :)
Also this is pure Samsai rage quit material.

I feel sorry for Little Orbit.
They are either really brave or just plain suicidal :(

Hmm , toor is right , did change a bit since Kickstarter.

At the end of the day my only hesitation is , is this just chess with a new skin and as series of challenges ? (aka non standard setup)

The first one didn't tickle my fancy but this one does. Like the more expansive nature.
