Quoting: kuhpunktI'm afraid Epic will make them an offer they can't refuse.
Nooo... Why are you saying that? Did you read something about it, what make you think that?
Shovel Knight is an amazing game. People will be interested in the new game. That's what Epic is going for.
Ok but I think Shovel Knight sells very well, I don't think they would benefit for an EGS exclusive, the shitstorm etc.
Or they could saying something like the developer of DARQ... ^_^

For native ones, I already have Butcher and Darkwood so I'll pass. I'll buy Beholder 2 later.

Off topic, I have to say Patola your new avatar is fucking great!

Strength Of The SWORD ULTIMATE no longer coming to Linux after the successful Kickstarter

Quoting: TheSHEEEPDo you have any reason for your attitude or is this just the usual "capitalism bad!" rhetoric with no logic behind it whatsoever?
Same question for you, with your attitude, so do you think capitalism is good?

I'm not really inclined to debate about this subject on this topic, maybe It's my fault, but I think that's off topic here.
But with your first description, you called it "common sense" and I really disagree with this, for me it's just a reaction of a system established, here the capitalism.
At this point it seems a debate would be difficult.

Capitalism is not a common sense, nor a logical system as it creates nothing good IMO.
But it's easy to be misinterpreted on Internet. If people can't think outside a system, it's complicated. And I don't saying that you're this kind, I just don't know but at least I think you like to debate on any subject.

It's indeed interesting, but It would take forever.

Eliza from Zachtronics is a Visual Novel that's worth your time

Interesting, whishlisted of course, I think I'll like it! And yeah I never played visuals novels too, so it might be the first.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhy?
When I give someone money, agreeing to certain conditions, and then it becomes obvious that those conditions will not be met - and it seems increasingly unlikely that further investments would see any return... Well, then I just withdraw and cut my losses.
That's just common sense capitalism, which really could be a bit more common amongst some game developers.

Would you let yourself be screwed over?
This has nothing to do with demanding too much or "faster = better".
Fixed. We can't really argue about that since we only (?) know this model in game industry and we don't know about what their agreement exactly was.
I just hate that model/system, so asking me this question is a nonsense.

This is kind of sad. Indeed there are common issues about Kickstarter projects here, mainly financial and technical ones.
But here, there's an human issue too.

We started falling so far behind...running out of funds...lost our publisher due to the delays...personal and health issues started...stress mounted up to unbelievable levels...team relationships started deteriorating...depression mounted up...misery all around.
Absolutely nobody wants that sort of situation, but the game is available on Steam, that's sort of a miracle IMO.
I particularly hate the issue about the publisher, like "faster = better"... this has to stop (but yeah it's capitalism isn't it?).

Classic inspired RTS Loria is now available DRM-free on GOG

It looks great!
I tried a bit the GOG demo and the game runs perfectly well and have a multi monitors support, but takes more than 3Go of my RAM. :woot:
I didn't play Warcraft II but Warcraft III yes and this game reminds me a lot of it.
I think it has the Warcraft II graphics and the gameplay of the third (heroes and their items, levels...) and be able to chose where to spend some attributes points is really nice.

A multiplayer mode would be really cool for sure!
