Quoting: areamanplaysgameDon't.

Crowdfund.

Games.

If you support a game on Kickstarter and it ends up like 99% of everything else on Kickstarter, you can't really be surprised.

Stop.

Telling.

Lies.

Quoting: Liam DaweCurrently GOG [External Link] does not have a Linux build.

Well, in fact, GOG does [External Link] have a Linux build (and I can confirm personally, the installer is up-to-date and not dead). It is just that GOG, being GOG, failed to add the Linux logo. Again.

Yeah that kind of thing is boring as hell... And the contrary exists too! Some games have the Tux icon but doesn't have a Linux version! :angry:

Quoting: CyrilFor Backbone, did you added a key of the game in your account already?

Yes, but that's hardly relevant; it was added in anticipation of the promised Linux support - they broke that contract, not me. If they really care, I believe they can invalidate the key.

On GOG, at least, I don't think they can. On GOG if you bought any game that disappear one day, you can still download it from your library. I don't have any example that proves me wrong on that.
But I agree with you, the fault is on their side.

Quoting: PhlebiacI requested a refund of my Kickstarter pledge yesterday; let's see how long it takes for them to follow through. Another one that seems likely to be breaking their promise is "Edge of Eternity" - when asked about the promised Linux version, they reply "you can play it on Linux with Proton" - not exactly what we backed for the Kickstarter project, is it?

Wait, seriously? God, what a joke...

For Backbone, did you added a key of the game in your account already?
I'm a backer too.

Quoting: BeamboomIs it just me, or do most kickstarter projects with a promised Linux version end up like this? I feel it's happened over and over and over now...

No, see this:

Quoting: pageroundThis is great, thanks Liam for putting a spotlight on projects like this (and Pioneer the other day).
Does anyone know if fheros2 in a state that I could use it to play through HoMM2? I have it off of GOG, but have never played it.
Thanks to everyone working on this :)

You sure can play it! I played with fheroes2 some months ago, I admit, and didn't start a new game recently, but it was perfectly fine for me! :wink:
So now it's even better... and we're even closer to the 1.0 release. :heart:

It looks gorgeous. When I first saw the KS page and didn't see mention of Linux I thought "that's too bad for a dev who supported their first game on Linux very nicely"... So I'm very happy to see this stretch goal, I trust them to keep the promise if the goal is achieved!

Quoting: Alm888First thought crossing my mind upon seeing the news: "Let me guess, 'Linux version is not yet available on GOG right now'?"

Nope, not this time.

This one had a Linux version before on GOG, because GOG packaged it themselves when they used to support Linux.

And this is not the only case I think, so we still waiting for the new Linux builds on GOG.

Quoting: RossBCIt has been working nativley on linux Sinse the middle of last year, libc++ needs to be installed though.

*edit: Weither or not that was intentional on their end not sure, but the linux build has been available on steam for a long time.

I don't use Steam... but you mean officially or like from a beta Linux branch?
Can you tell more about it?
