I like that this looks more like a modernized version of the HoMM 3 style rather than the direction they went with HoMM 5 through 7.

I used to use Linux Mint and enjoyed it a lot. I wish the best for Clement and it is good to see him still getting support. I mainly use Ubuntu MATE and Arch these days. Linux Mint was really nice to get up and running, but when things went wrong, it was often just different enough from Ubuntu to be difficult. So if I want to deal with difficulty for unusual situations, I'd rather do it in Arch. For the computers where I just want a basic OS and don't want to mess with it, I use Ubuntu MATE.

It's a good adventure game with an interesting sci-fi story (I don't want to spoil anything). I really enjoyed it when I played it on Android a few years ago.

I love how Dawnthorn looks like Link's Awakening DX while Hazelnut Bastille looks like a Link to the Past.

Quoting: GuestMust resist. Must resist...

Oops...

I picked up Observer, First Winter and Paratopic for some creepy Halloween gaming, and I picked up Kerbal Space Program and Lamplight City because they were good deals. All discounted for the sale.

It unfortunate, but it makes sense. The game Anodyne had the same problem with Adobe AIR and has since dropped official Linux support (but as of a few years ago Anodyne was still playable if you configure some things manually).

At the time we started development, Adobe was strongly supporting Linux

I don't really buy this. When I bought Anodyne in 2013, it was a struggle getting it working on Linux even with the developer and other Linux users being very helpful in the Steam forums. This wasn't a new situation in 2013, so when they launched their kickstarter in 2012, Adobe's support for AIR on Linux was definitely not "strong".

I get that they thought they'd be able to make it work on Linux with AIR, but let's not put all the blame on Adobe. There has never been good Linux support from Adobe.

This is typical of Cyan. They seem afraid of a Linux build not being perfect. RealMyst Masterpiece Edition runs on Unity and Obduction runs on Unreal Engine 4, but no Linux support. I even messaged them a couple times offering to help debug and test Linux builds of these games for them, but they never responded about that.

I hope they allow the touch screen to act as mouse inputs on phones/tablets. That would be a great way to play mouse-based games without a PC.

This was one of the first Linux games I played back in 2004. I think it was version 0.7 or 0.8 back then.
