Quoting: rea987Actually, it looks like the Windows version of the game uses OpenGL

You're right. I thought I remembered it using Direct3D on Windows, and only OpenGL in their Mac port, but it seems I remembered wrong. But yeah, KotOR and KotOR2 do run fairly well with Wine.

Me, I'd rather have a native port, though. And more people to work on xoreos. And a pony. :P

Quoting: RutineThe link in the article is dead, and when searching manually, only Windows PC and XBox One appear as platforms

Aww. :(
And I actually thought it likely, because there was Mac port of KotOR (and the aforementioned iOS and Android ports), so an OpenGL renderer does exist.

Well, there's still xoreos [External Link], though. *hint hint* :P

"some day", "when it's done", "much more to be announced in the coming months", this all sounds like it'll take some time still. So yeah, I do expect to wait another year.

Aww, a bummer about the delayed release (ditto for the later Blackwell games)...

Quoting: km3kAnother thing to note: ScummVM could use help getting these games supported. There's a work in progress version of ScummVM with support on Github. More info at http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Startrek [External Link]

Well, if you look at the actual code [External Link], you'll see that it's in a very early stage. It can display the game's graphics resources, and play sound and music, but that's about it. None of the game logic is handled. And as far as I'm aware, clone2727 didn't do any work on the engine since 2008.

We do, of course, welcome contribution to that engine. You should probably get in contact with clones (clone2727 or droid2727 in #scummvm on Freenode IRC) if you want to work on this. :)

To be fair, studios can often very productively work on multiple games that are in different stages.

Still... I'm quite frustrated with Larian Studios. :/

I didn't know where to fit it into the article, but there's also an interview on The Mary Sue with the Elsinore creators that people might find interesting, here: http://www.themarysue.com/tms-elsinore-interview/ [External Link]. It goes a bit more into the depth of the dynamic story thing, for example.

For something slightly different, there's this Kickstarter campaign [External Link] for 4 new pilots, each for a potential new series, by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment. More about tabletop RPG than video games, though.

but it seems the Humble option still might only give a Steam key going by the wording on it

Nope, DRM-free builds are coming, apparently: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=26547&cpage=1#comment-946407 [External Link]

Quoting: GuestI can only hope that higher ups noticed everything, and have put in place procedures and coding guidelines to ensure a smoother ride for their next title.

This.
