As a big Star Trek fan myself, I plan to get these once I find some free time or there's a sale.

It's good to see GOG doing the work on getting DOSBox just right. That's tricky sometimes.

Another thing to note: ScummVM could use help getting these games supported. There's a work in progress version of ScummVM with support on Github. More info at http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Startrek [External Link]

Great work! I really enjoyed the Chzo Mythos games. I'll have to check out the others too.

Great news! I've heard good things about the original game and have considered buying it to try running it in Wine, but I've never pulled the trigger.

Quoting: liamdaweThe new sales block has been enabled.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroLooks absolutely great! I really like the way the articles are presented now, like the headline on top with the speech bubble and stuff :) Hadn't seen that part yet.

Any way we could have "GamingOnLinux" back at the top though? Penguin looks a bit lonely there, has done for a while now.

I feel there should be text as well which isn't showing up. When the page loads on my tablet or phone I see the text "Gaming On Linux" in blue for a second until the logo loads then it disappears. I imagine the text is there as alternate text but disappears once the logo populates in the browser's cache. I am not sure if that is by design or not. Firefox on all 3 devices used. Android 4.4 on my phone, Android 4.2.2 on my tablet, and Firefox DE (Aurora) on my desktop.

That is the html alt text if the image cannot be loaded, we may add text to the nav, but it's low priority and only a possibility.

Tried this in several different browsers and there's always no text there (this actually happened before the re-design too, but I thought it was just a temporary thing). Would be nice to have something there, I doubt we're the only ones this happens to.

I've been wondering this too. It seems a little bare at the top without a title.

Also, now that I've quoted, it would be clearer if there was an indication that clicking the quote button worked if you're quoting a post from further up the page. I ended up clicking it twice because there was no feedback. Either an animation or scrolling the page down to the comment box after clicking the quote button would work well.

Overall, I really like the new site design, especially the look of the news on the home page with the larger images!

They have never ruled Linux out.

Thanks for that info Liam, I must have missed that.

Quoting: Bumadarsorry but what made you think telltale would release this on linux, because its an adventure about a game that is available on linux ? telltale has never release their games on linux.

I have to agree. I'm surprised this was covered here. Telltale has never had any interest in Linux. I've been following their games since they released Bone (though not as closely in recent years as I've lost interest in the licenses they make games for).

That said, they have been newly supporting Android recently, so there's always the possibility they change their mind, but I really doubt it.

"Mac" isn't really an OS either. Ideally they'd use something like:

• Windows


• Mac OS X


• Linux / SteamOS

I thought I saw it say "Linux / SteamOS" somewhere last night, but I don't see that anymore. At least they went to just "Linux" instead of just "SteamOS".

Quoting: Segata SanshiroI believe the issues stem from the way the went about things rather than the to jump straight to 1.0.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroThe reality is that they made money off this game have given no clear indication of why they are ceasing development and likewise are suddenly calling a game "finished" despite labeled as "very early alpha" up until recently and has only been in EA for less than a year.

The point of the article isn't really "Double Fine are scumbags" but instead "Double fine are being perceived as scumbags, which is creating a lack of confidence in EA and crowd funding".

Thanks for the clarification. That makes more sense now. I still feel like this type of situation is to be expected with Early Access though. Double Fine could have communicated the situation better, but I think with Early Access, you're paying more to support the developer and see what they come up with rather than paying for a concrete game. Maybe Valve and developers need to communicate that better. That's why I haven't yet bought an Early Access game, but I do see some value in Early Access being available. I have contributed to other crowdfunding, including Broken Age.
