Postal 2 now on Steam
21 Jan 2013 at 6:25 pm UTC

Quoting: Xpanderthe problem however is that i dont find postal2.ini or user.ini files. and changing default.ini doesnt do a thing.
Look in your ~/.lgp directory, as the game still retains that path from back when it was in fact an LGP title.

Cheese Talks To Double Fine (about cross-platform game development)

"Our fans love having the ability to play our games wherever they want however they want and we love pleasing our fans!"

Hopefully we could see a non-Steam release of The Cave at some point then maybe. Is it a Steamworks integrated title or just using Steam as it's primary distribution platform ATM?

I am sure that if it does get on Steam eventually you could talk the developer into getting Desura to supply purchasers with Steam keys. Desura plays nice that way.

The bitching about the company "wasting time on Linux" in the comments was a little distressing though. :(

The trailer definitely makes the game look a lot more appealing.

Still, blasting things with Tommy Guns in the far north? Were have I seen that before? :P

Not that that is a bad thing mind. ;)

It looks a bit rough but it is being alpha funded - and I would really like to see more Indie FPS games.

Here's what I think - Organ Trail and the troubles of Steam Greenlight
12 Jan 2013 at 8:01 pm UTC

I still think that Greenlight is only a half-measure which only somewhat levels the playing field for independent developers. This does definitely show why the need for other services such as Desura and the like are so important.

Blizzard apparently bringing a game to Linux this year

Quoting: "Hyeron, post: 7535, member: 223"Because the odds increase no one will listen to the one in the corner saying "just go with tgz and be done with it, dammit"?

Or a MojoSetup installer.... or a NixInstaller... or just like what everyone else has done.

How much trouble has multiple distros done to HIB? I can not think of that much problems that were distro specific.

Why is it that the more developers a studio has, the more scared they are of multiple Linux distros? :rolleyes:
