Great game indeed. I'll be waiting for the release :)

@Mblackwell: Thanks for making it and releasing for Linux!

I'd me more interested in something like SmachZ, though it's very expensive.

Looks very promising. I'll be buying it at release. Not sure if it classifies as independent game now, since Daedalic have become a publisher in addition to having their own studio. But they are surely one of the good forward looking publishers who support Linux and DRM-free gaming. So in that sense, they are independent from the "old guard" who are commonly anti-Linux and pro-DRM.

Quoting: jensThat with the assumption that games bought for playing on Linux, no matter how, are recognized as Linux purchases

It's up to distributors to recognize them. GOG for instance take in account user agent at the time of purchase and download, so even if you buy a Windows game to play in Wine, they can see how many of such purchases / downloads were done by Linux users. Not sure how Steam counts that. A second question is, whether these distributors share their statistics with developers. I haven't seen anyone talking about that.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. A great game, the only thing that's missing are English subtitles for short character comments in Japanese.

Yeah, and I associated it with Brazil as well first.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, it is a British game, so I'm sure there's an echo there. But it's different too; The Prisoner was this separate space from the world, this elite prison thing run by the near-infallible organization. We Happy Few is in the world, a dystopia thing where the government is doing this stuff to everyone--plus the trailer gives me the impression that, being British, it's done pretty inefficiently, so rather than near-infallible things are going to crap. Rather "Brazil"-esque.

The studio is Canadian actually. :) And yes, they said [External Link] several works were an inspiration for them including Brazil, The Prisoner, A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, 1984 and Doctor Who.

Quoting: liamdawePerhaps I wasn't clear enough: I've never seen them act in a way that wasn't polite and I do frequent the GOG forums, I might not post, but I read it often.

I can second that. I use GOG forums for a long time already, and never saw rude behavior of their staff. And if they can't answer some questions, they won't.

Quoting: rkfgYeah, but like I said they're publishing the game. Usually the publisher has some preference or style for the games they release so some key elements are expected. Except the bigger names like Microsoft that released too many different games already.

They became a publisher only late in the development, so many ideas predate them.
