Quoting: InnerVoicesDevHello! ^_^
Just... don't drop the free keys on the internet, okay? Sorry for asking. Its just that.... Umm. 4 days before release on steam the game had been leaked on torrents by... one of the first reviewers/LetsPlayers. (Yeah, you've read that right - we gave a free DRM copy of the game for a review and the guy had put it on the internet...)

In this case, you'd better put that DRM-free copy on Humble Store, GOG and itch.io as well! ^.^

Working on it. Itch and Humble shouldn't be a problem. The problem is still GoG. Still not enough noise to change their mind :'(((

Hello! ^_^

So okay guys. I have a working Linux build ready. Problem? I have no means to check if its working and how its working. We did tested it on one fresh DEFAULT linux build but you know how it works with defaults - no one has a truly default build (which is the beauty of linux - being modular with powerful customization possibilities).

I'll make a separate thread on Steam and explain exacly how can you get your hands on linux build. Of course - I will provide a free copies for every tester (lol no - I won't be telling you to buy the game aka make you pay to test it XD).
Of course - you are free to talk openly about anything and everything. I am a huge enemy of feedback embargos and all that NDA (non-disclosure agreement) bullshit.

Just... don't drop the free keys on the internet, okay? Sorry for asking. Its just that.... Umm. 4 days before release on steam the game had been leaked on torrents by... one of the first reviewers/LetsPlayers. (Yeah, you've read that right - we gave a free DRM copy of the game for a review and the guy had put it on the internet...)

Anybody interested - please contact me via THIS [External Link]thread

Also - have a lovely weekend! :D

Quoting: EhvisI'd be happy to help testing. I'm on Ubuntu 17.04 and my PC specs viewable, so you can check whether it adds to the diversity for testers.

And we have 3 :D 2 slots left <3
[for now at least]

Talking to you guys got me kind a inspired so I wrote this thing over here:

Also. We just exported the game for Linux and we are currently testing. I will need around 3-5 volunteers with Linux on board. One condition - have to be via Steam. Because you'll get a free Full version of the game.

So... you guys still think I'm pulling your leg to raise some hype and drop you off once you aren't needed? XD
I'll come back here with a link - once we'll get the Linux build parked on Valve servers.
Kudos! :D

Quoting: InnerVoicesDevHow about this guys? I just created a google form just for you, regarding Linux port of Inner Voices.

Sorry, but have to reject the proposal. I will never buy a game from Steam™. :(
So, I will ignore the poll as both of the answers are unsatisfactory.

Oh but its not just steam. Very soon we are entering Greenman Gaming, Itch.io and maybe GOG if this gains enough momentum:

On To-Do list - there are already other storefronts, but they are down the line, due to how few of us there is heh. 99% of them DRM-free. =)

Quoting: Projectile VomitI would buy it, depending on my funds at the time.

These days, I can't promise anything.

If money would happen to be the main obstacle - I will remove that obstacle out of your way.

Quoting: natis1To the Inner Voices developers:

While I am probably not going to buy this game (I didn't vote in the poll or post in the steam thread for that reason), just because the genre isn't for me and I only have so much money to spend anyway, please know that I really appreciate how much you all seem to respect your community and if you all continue doing game development I will follow your work into the future.

Oh its alrighty. I'm not looking at you like at wallet with arms and legs =) Shame we don't have the Linux port ready already. I would just send you a free key - if money is the issue. I've been there. So no pity from my side. Only sympathy. I know money don't grow on trees.

And well. Wow. Thx Natis. I mean it. You know, there are many 'currencies' on this planet. And money is but one of many. You just 'paid' me with currency I consider to be of much, much higher value. Thank you for that. =)
Also, shame there's only that "heart"/like button for posts. I find it insufficient. I'd rather press a "love" button for that post of yours.

Hello everyone! :D
So someone PMed me the link leading here and I decided to address couple of things. You like walls of text? W/e - you're getting one anyway! XD

First and foremost - THANK YOU very much for all your kind words but also critique. Its easy to accept only the "nice" things but... well. If you digest only those you will quickly end up in an 'echo chamber' with little to no room to expand and mature.

To cut the chase - Linux port.
I am a honesty-freak so I'll be blunt with you. Yes, if enough people request Linux port - it WILL come true. Short and simple. BUT (because there's always a 'but' ) - you need to understand couple of thing, and please - take them as 'explanation' not 'excuses'.

-Core dev team is exactly THREE people (aka 3 pairs of hands aka work takes some time to be done aka we have to set priorities)
-Beside Dev team - there is also our beloved publisher Fat Dog Games. And when we do all the 'artsy shenanigans' and production - it is the publisher who gives a final green light. (aka A LOT of requests/votes = Fat Dog blessing for Linux port)
-No member of dev team is a dedicated Linux user (aka Linux port would require us to get a bit familiar with the OS)
-Neither Sigma or Fat Dog Games are Electronic Arts(aka we don't dry our tears with $100 bills ;P)

Another thing you guys might not be aware of: we are not corporation. We are human beings. People, persons. We laugh, we cry, we sleep, we die, we eat, we get hungry sometimes. Don't believe me? Ok. Here. Have my face (SFW but still ugly AF ;D ).

Here we see, a cat. And next to the cat - is Marek, the project lead of Inner Voices

There there's Patrick (No, not the starfish from Sponge Bob)

And there's also Jarek (who's face is too ugly to post here D: )

And from 5 days we have a very wicked smile glued to our faces. We devour every comment, every review, every player feedback. We care. Maybe a bit too much. Because, you see - I'll tell you a secret =)
No one makes games for themselves.
Yeah, I know, that's a shocker :D We make them - so you can play them. And once you do - we are the happiest hippos on the planet. And this, the thing I am doing right now - is the main reason why I love making games. Why we all do. Being able to interact with you guys. See you get pissed (when you are stuck at a puzzle in game), see you be moved by our creation, see your devotion (one of you made a GOG wishlist for Inner Voices just a moment ago :O), reading all your suggestions, bug reports - it all means you care. Even the post over here and the comments below.
You care. And when you care - it makes us care even more.
Because you show us that we are doing the right thing - the right way. You are our biggest compass.

This is no PR-sweet talking or marketing (Lol like we could afford that XD ). Its just me. Its just us. And right now, we are very grateful and happy. And we listen.

Thank you again everyone!
Your are the 'feathers' - of our 'wings'. <3
