About Linux games being delayed: A chat with several game developers and porters

Quoting: natewardawg
Quoting: Doc AngeloI wonder how many Linux gamers won't buy games with DRM?
This would be a nice bit to have on the GoL survey :)
I agree. Attitude to DRM is a good point to include in the survey.

Quoting: Doc AngeloI wonder how many Linux gamers won't buy games with DRM?/
I expect percentage to be higher than among Windows users. People who reject DRM can use Linux itself for similar reasons.

Quoting: Doc AngeloNitpicking: Even those who would never buy a game with DRM can still buy games on Steam.
I don't, and many of those who avoid DRM also don't. Since buying on Steam proliferates DRM based approach.

Quoting: slaapliedjebut on GoG, I have Two Worlds II: Epic Edition (Linux support), and Two Worlds II: Velvet Edition (Windows only).
You mean Two Worlds Epic edition with Linux support. That's what on GOG now. Two Worlds II there is Windows only.

Quoting: Mountain Man"Yes, we will release on Linux as well as Steam OS."

So... they'll release on Linux.
Yeah, it's quite annoying when they say such stuff. Sounds like on PC and on Linux.

Will they release it on GOG as well? Two Worlds II is already sold there [External Link].

As others pointed out, the game works much better in Wine, than in the "native" version which is actually a wrapper anyway.

Great interviews!

Don't make a game that depends on Direct3D. All the hard hard work is getting the thing to run with OpenGL.
Or Vulkan I'd add for current times. That's really the major demonstration, how the whole point of DirectX is to tax cross platform development, to make it less affordable.
Feral Interactive have released a new teaser for a Linux & Mac port to come

Quoting: MohandevirJust adding to the confusion... :)

http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Téa [External Link]

http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=90002 [External Link]

Could be a reference to Geralt infusing in his bath too... Just saying.

Edit: The link is not working but it refers to "Borch's Weapons" (Téa and Véa)
The actual community supported Witcher wiki now lives here [External Link]. Would be interesting to see Borch, Téa and Véa in some future releases, but they aren't in any current Witcher games ;)
Ashes of the Singularity almost has Vulkan ready, doesn't have Linux on the radar right now

Quoting: hardpenguinBecause it is not viable. And it is not in gamedevs interest to make it so.
Why isn't it in their interest? Being beholden to MS is not something that developers need.

The challenge with Linux is that the user base has to be sufficient to justify it.
So is it sufficient or not? Apparently not enough, for them not to push it down the list.
