Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 3679, member: 122"@Brandon - will these things allow me to shoot telekinetic bullets from my fingers for real, or just make me feel excessively uncomfortable?

Who said anything about fingers? :P

This game is sounding better and better everyday guys. Keep it up.

Though, one question: If you want to get this on Desura, will you be putting Helena up as well?

Voxels themselves do have their uses, as they can be a lot more flexible than ordinary polygons in many cases. But yes, using them simply because it is trendy may not be the best of reasons to do it.

Quoting: "Beherit, post: 3515, member: 138"what's up with all these voxels lately?

I don't know, but I suspect its has something to do with... oh, what's it called? It's name is in Liam's signature.... uh, um.... :P

Well, this is probably just serendipity again, though the argument could be made that Linux users should put their hands up and put their money in jut to get their point across.

I still do not know though. Also, while they have said they will release for Linux, WYV and Keep is not available for Linux at the momment. If you buy it through Indie Royale, will you get it for Linux later on or not?

I don't know - this seems like Jeffery Rosen messing around with his friends again rather than really doing anything real with the Bundles. At least the funds go to charity, but it does not help with their image considering I have heard complaints from more than one developer about them being ignored when they tried to put their games in a bundle. It really does seem like they are more interested in putting their friends up than anyone else sometimes.

And if it is true that Oxeye's game will not get a Linux release then that is just deplorable, considering that they took many Linux user's money. It basically is a betrayal of the trust that Linux users have with the Bundles. Now, it is true that they are not keeping the money themselves but that is actually beside the point - they took Linux user's money, knowing full well that the money was being given to them by Linux users with the expectation of a Linux release of their games. If they do not deliver, they have not only screwed those who contributed but also have betrayed the pricniples of the Bundle.

Saving judgment until later on that though, but still, could be a bad trend.

May I make a small observation - if you want more games on Linux, please don't heckle developers. :rolleyes:

I guess what is needed is for Desura to get more guys on board for the advertising then.

That is kind of neat. Nice to see it mentioned on one of the oldest gaming news websites. ;)
