I hope it will have interesting story too. It will be harder for them without Hoji.

Kudos to them for doing it. I wish more developers would use public bug trackers instead of asking users to submit bugs on their forums or privately.

Quoting: Imantshe meant do not make steam exclusive games.
Exactly.

So it's Steam only?

UPDATE: Yeah, it is: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/44729-dont-starve-together-roadmap/ [External Link]

Is Don't Starve Together available to non-Steam users?

Don't Starve Together uses a lot of the Steam API's to function, hence, at this time, Don't Starve Together is only available on Steam.
Too bad. Developers shouldn't use this lock-in.

RUINER announced for Linux, an incredibly stylish cyberpunk Unreal Engine 4 shooter

Looks promising indeed, and Devolver Digitial are OK with DRM-free releases. And developers were working on Witcher games before! http://ruinergame.com/presskit/ [External Link]

The studio was founded in December 2014 by four seasoned game creators: Jakub Styliński, Maciej Mach, Magdalena Tomkowicz, Marek Roefler and Benedykt Szneider who joined as Creative Director for the game. First idea of RUINER was born in May 2014. In September 2014 first concepts emerged. Since January 2015 we're working full time in our studio.

We've worked on titles such as The Witcher 1 through 3, Dead Island or Dying Light. We cooperate with equally experienced professionals whose work you can see also in games such as This War of Mine, Anomaly, Shadow Warrior, Sniper, Hard Reset or Cyberpunk 2077.
Definitely looking forward for this game.

Quoting: neowiz73all it takes is a few bad apples to ruin the whole bunch. cases like these only destroy credibility of the crowdfunding process for all the other devs out there. it's going to boil down to experienced devs that have good reputations that gain any sort of headway with crowdfunding. all of the small time start-up devs will be SOL because of these shady devs like this one seems to be.
Not really. It only shows that one has to prepare for that process instead of doing it blindly. Others will learn from such mistakes.

Not bad. I hope it will come out DRM-free.

Quoting: ShmerlI'm using Sun Type 5 with Unix layout:
At school we have these attached to thin clients that run a virtualized instance of Windows XP each. Pretty sad usage for a unix keyboard.

Though I wish they'd produced these with real mechanical key switches. At least the Sun keyboards that I've seen so far all had mushy membrane keyboards; and these are really painful to use for a buckling-spring snob.
Sun Type 5 is the best of them. More modern Type 7 feels very cheap. Type 5 though requires a special converter from Mini-DIN-8 to USB: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector [External Link]

Same. :P

I tried finding something more ergonomic, but there are virtually no other keyboards with Unix layout these days, Happy Hacking one is too minimalist to my taste.
