Quoting: linuxvangogHi guys, linuxvangog from GOG [External Link] here.

Welcome to GOL!

Quoting: linuxvangogBut sometimes we do :) Also we provide carefully adjusted DOSBox configs and actual game fixes!

Would be nice if you could indicate that DosBox is patched in the game card :) And regarding configs - sure, I often simply take GOG configs, adjust them slightly if needed (for example to use MIDI port for Fluidsynth if the game is using MIDI music), and if it's Windows only GOG release, to use Linux paths and output=opengl instead of output=ddraw.

So your specific tweaks and image bundling are surely very useful.

Quoting: GuestGOG’s dosbox build requires pulseaudio :(.

You can configure dosbox yourself, and use system one. GOG rarely actually patch it.

Quoting: slaapliedjeTbe secret to Wine is to use something like PlayOnLinux. Then you can pin thw verio n of Wine per container.

You can just use env variables for that and launcher scripts. But same thing really.

Quoting: tuubiThe campy B-movie aesthetic reminds me of the earlier Tex Murphy adventures. Gameplay is different, but if this is half as fun, I'm in.

I've just noticed - Brent Erickson [External Link] who was one the designers of early Tex Murphy games (like Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum) also was designer of Noctropolis :)

I've just finished the game. It was quirky but quite original (unlike some reviewers describe it). Kind of sad it is relatively short and has no sequels. The dark city of Noctropolis looks like a rich settings to explore.

Witcher 3 freeze was affecting Mesa users and required special patch workaround. Good that they fixed it now. The next big one to fix would be:

GOG release of the Linux version is delayed because of some issues [External Link], but it should be coming:

We had the Linux version in our hands, but our tests indicated that some rough edges still need addressing before we will be able to release Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy to our dear penguins. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delay!
