To no surprise the Cossacks 3 Linux version has been delayed once again

About delayed versions. What happened to Everspace? They said, they had some issues, and nothing since then.

It looks like we may be getting a Planescape Torment Enhanced Edition

Quoting: rafebelmontI have the Steam version of BG:EE. Is there any way to test this bug without having a large HDD?
This bug happens on XFS on partitions around 2TB. The edge size is somewhat lower, but for sure on 2 and above. Not sure how else you can test it.

Good. I really hope it will be 64-bit. It's pretty annoying that all previous Beamdog games are 32-bit, and they all suffer from the infamous "no LFS support" bug.

Vikings - Wolves of Midgard to have a Linux version after the initial Windows release

Quoting: webcreaturehttps://twitter.com/kalypsomedia/status/831895655534694400

Kalypso told me the Linux version would delay about 4 weeks.
So end of April it is, if nothing happens..
Can you please ask them if they'll release the Linux version on GOG? Multiplayer feature is a suspect, since they might use Galaxy / Steamworks, and the former isn't available for Linux.

Quoting: KetilThe story of KOTOR is great, but I haven't finished playing it yet, I am afraid to do a mistake that makes the end game fights hard, and because I have not finished KOTOR I haven't started on KOTOR 2 yet either. I would love a telltale like star wars game, or a point of click game in lucas arts 2D style. Obviously without the silliness of Monkey Island, and either stay out of the heat of the combat, or allowing allowing death and game over if the situation requires it.
KoTOR isn't that hard, but you need to put some thought in your character build to progress more efficiently. I usually prefer to pick a scoundrel class and ignore blasters. Just invest in melee until you become a Jedi. But you should be able to progress with any build.

I like how KoTOR allows various branching, and they really did a good job covering them. Some you never see, unless you made something really weird. For example, who would lose to Deadeye Duncan?

Spoiler, click me

It has a lot of other comical moments :)

It's a shame Aspyr can't wrap things up and release KoTOR II for Linux on GOG already. It's playable in Wine though. Same as KoTOR I.

Some of my favorite soundtracks from there:

Sounds interesting, and good to see them trying to release it widely on day one.

Kona, an eerie narrative-driven adventure game is now out on Linux, it's a bit buggy

Quoting: Xpanderthink of it like The Long Dark with storymode
I've never played The Long Dark (I see it's still unfinished), but it looks quite good too.

And apparently they planned the story mode as well?

Quoting: ArehandoroIs it really? That would be amazing! Do you have any link with those news? If possible, of course :)
I don't think anything changed recently. Someone just noticed long existed note about "coming soon", and didn't realize it's Soon™.
