I found the chiptune version of it: https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/nyeh-heh-heh-2 [External Link]
so it must be in the game :) The trailer uses richer tune.

UPDATE: Found it: https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/bonetrousle [External Link]
I can buy the game just for the soundtrack already ;)

Does it have such music in the game?

Divinity: Original Sin is a different case. Developers promised Linux version during crowdfunding, and they never said they cancelled it. They just had a lot of setbacks and didn't plan it well, but they delivered it in the end.

Regarding Witcher 3, at this point I'm not expecting them to do anything anymore. Our best bet is for Wine developers to make it playable. If I'll hear anything new from them, I'll update the TW3 thread though.

Will GOG add the Linux demo as well? I'll back them when they'll reach the stretch goal.

Why exactly do they propose building SDL from source? SDL2 is commonly packaged in all distros. And especially doing make install is a bad idea. If you need to build it that way, place it locally. Never do make install.

I hope the author still plans on working on it?

Please folks, just drop using this term (AAA). It's practically useless because it's highly ambiguous and confusing without explaining every time what's implied. So spell it out. Whether you are talking about games funded by the publisher, or produced by self funded studio (independent = indie), whether you are talking about high budget or low budget games, and whether you mean high quality / low quality games. All those categories aren't matching each other 1:1, yet often called AAA or indie by different people. A lot of time there is simply a disagreement what it all means.

Personally when I use term indie, I simply mean self funded studios and their games. They can be high quality, and big budget (Star Citizen for example). The same way, games funded by the publishers can be low quality (but usually are high budget). So original meaning of AAA (quality) wouldn't apply to them. That's why I simply avoid using this term. It never contributes any clarity to the discussion (quite on the contrary).
