Could gog.com be close to supporting Linux?

Desura has a couple Dosbox enabled titles already - so it shows it can be done.

Would love to be able to buy One Unit: Whole Blood (for example) off of them and just expect it to work on my Fedora box. :D

Well,, there is no need to rush. Just the promise is a good enough thing ATM, no? ;)

Quoting: "GBGames, post: 5603, member: 248"I haven't learned 3D modeling, but ever since reading Programming Linux Games by John Hall many years ago, I liked the idea of taking a 3D model and being able to render 2D sprites from multiple angles automatically.

Ah, a true Linux gaming aficionado then. ;)

I actually kind of like the simplistic graphics, although I do agree that if he does not update them the game will not get the attention it may deserve.

Grabbed the demo. Will see what it is like.

Linux overtakes Mac on Humble Indie Bundle 6!

Indeed, which is why theses issues should have been worked out before the Bundle started. Now, we are getting a native port, and I am grateful that they are taking the time to do it properly. But this was still handled badly by the Bundle organizers IMO.

Can't help but notice that Vessel is still missing on Mac and Linux despite them promising that they would have the ports out in a few days after launch...

As I said, this whole thing was a bit rushed. Now, I know I have personally thought that the Humble Bundle guys have been trying to push too much out too quickly ever since the Frozen Synapse one, but this one is quite emblematic of the problem, only coming a couple of months after Humble Indie Bundle 5.

Which may explain why it only got $2 Million - not a figure to be scoffed at but still much lower than the previous big Indie bundle got.

Still looking forward to giving Rochard and Torchlight a proper go at some point though.

Well, unfortunately things are being a bit rushed in general with the Humble Bundles lately. I specifically waited until now to install Physconauts from HIB5 after hearing so many bug complaints, and instead opted to play Amnesia which I knew would work flawlessly. Physconauts is working fine for me now with the updated build, but it now looks like Torchlight is in the same boat. And the cycle will continue.

But as long as it is fixed eventually...

Cheese can be the master of that at times Kame. ;)
