Master an angry mob in Okhlos, now on Linux with some thoughts thrown in

Authors made a some interesting posts about creating the game (a lot of concept art there): https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=34910.0 [External Link]

They also explain some ideas that went into it, and themselves admit that they were pressed to come up with IC reasons / justification for the carnage and destruction that player should wreck in the game. I suppose it was intended to be some form of exaggeration, but senseless destruction gets pretty irritating, at least for me.

Some speculate, Vega can come early, already this October. Others say it can come sometime in the beginning of next year. I have no idea really if that is correct or not.

Good. RX 480 seem to be always out of stock. By this rate, I'd probably wait for Vega cards already.

Since No Man's Sky is using OpenGL, developers can at some point decide to make native Linux version.

Exciting, but I need to finish the first one!
Surely finish the first one Liam, it's a good game. I hope that Kamiko will be able to replace Hoji and his snarky background comments in the second game well enough.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI'm going to be very angry if GOG doesn't have the Linux version.
I'm sure they'll have it, they are just sloppy about listing supported platforms for upcoming games.

Quoting: tmtvl
Quoting: ShmerlWhat do you think about the endings? I like the game, but it feels they didn't work on the endings enough. Feels they were cut short of thoroughly explaining what happened.
I'll let you know when I get there. So far though, I've been thinking that I'll need to play through again, because I keep feeling like I missed something. As though I skipped over a dialogue that had some background info I need.
Thanks :) Would be interesting to discuss what you think. I opened a thread for it: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2268

Quoting: tmtvlDex: Amazing atmosphere, decent writing, pretty good game feel. Kinda reminds me of the old SNES Shadowrun game.

Dragon Age: Origins (Wine, GOG release). It's a good RPG, which reminds me of KoTOR mechanics wise, but I guess that's expected since it's made by Bioware. Never played DA games before, but I've heard Origins is the only one worth playing, and sequels all ruined it.
