Quoting: ShmerlOne suggestion about dual-booting. It's probably better to ask: "Do you dual-boot with Windows?" Since some might dual-boot with FreeBSD or the like :)

At this question : "Do you dual-boot with a different operating system?"
You can answer :
-Yes Windows
-Yes Mac
-Yes ChromeOS
-Yes Other
-No

I think it's nice, maybe you'd like to replace "Other" by BSD-Like ?

I installed it and it runs pretty well for now on my PC. (I backed the game)
It's great to see a "Banner Saga like" with Linux Support. Sad that Stoic dropped the Linux release.

It's likely the beta will be Steam-only and once ready hopefully it will come to GOG too.

Fingers crossed!

Quoting: ShmerlSteam only?

I think...

Here what the dev said:

Hey guys!

The main reason we're only available on Steam (for now) is because of the multiplayer mode, which takes on the Steam API! We'll see in the future if developping a GOG version could be interesting! [External Link]

And

This is not planned at the moment! As you pointed out, it would mean a lot of work on the MP system! [External Link]

So, i won't bet on it.

It appears that the Windows GOG version doesn't need to launch Galaxy to join/host a game. Anybody can confirm this ?

I saw this on the GOG forum : https://www.gog.com/forum/heroes_of_hammerwatch/multiplayer/post4 [External Link]

So if it's true, why the Linux version need Galaxy ?
It's confusing...

Quoting: Avehicle7887I don't buy from Steam not because of the client, but because the games need the client and there's quite a difference there. If for example Codemasters told me "Hey, you can play our games without Steam", I'd definitely buy them, same goes for all other Linux games.

There are plenty of games on Steam that you can play without the client:

I don't currently even have the steam client installed. I use SteamCMD (a terminal based steam downloader from Valve) to download the games, and then play.

So SteamCMD works great without the Steam client installed. Does it works like lgogdownloader ?
I didn't know this was an official tool by Valve, but it's a pity it seems not open-source.
But it's a good point which that exists, i think.
