Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night From Koji Igarashi Plans A Same-day Linux Release
22 May 2015 at 5:49 am UTC

Quoting: FutureSuture
Quoting: ShmerlNo word about DRM-free release? They only mention Steam.
It wasn't mentioned. Why not ask Koji Igarashi directly via the game's Kickstarter page?
I did, but got no response.

Point & Click Adventure Game 'Technobabylon' Has A Trailer, Linux Release Delayed

So if it uses AGS, it should be playable on Linux if you build it from source? I could buy it on GOG if it's so.

I like the hand-drawn style. I'll pay attention to it.

Another Four Classic Games Available On Linux Thanks To GOG

Master of Magic is fun, but in the end doesn't allow diplomatic solutions (even if you make alliances in the beginning). It's limiting as far as long term choices go, but otherwise it's a solid game. Terminal Velocity is fun too :)

GOG Treat Linux To More Old Gems, Blood: One Unit Whole Blood FPS Now Available
19 May 2015 at 8:26 pm UTC

Sometimes publishers cause a delay (they don't care about old games much), sometimes developers are too busy (inXile only recently released Linux version of The Bard's Tale on GOG, while Windows one was there for a long time already). Plus GOG focuses more on the new releases, and backlog of already released games has lower priority. So it's coming when it's possible. But don't hesitate to remind them, they often explain the reason for delays.

For instance Metro Last Light didn't get the Linux version because Deep Silver didn't give it. And Deep Silver said it's still TBD.

Cyberia 2: Resurrection Released For Linux On GOG
17 May 2015 at 2:39 am UTC

Wishlisted. I played Cyberia 1 back in the day, and bought it on GOG when it came out. Never played Cyberia 2, but it should be interesting.

By the way, if you are interested in extracting sound from Cyberia 1, here is some helper script: https://gist.github.com/shmerl/9df260cfa157c2c86772 [External Link]

A bit rough around the edges, but does extract most of the voc resources properly. Some discussion with details here [External Link].

Example of the final result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yixfxo07Iec [External Link]

Hrmm, doesn't say that for me, have edited it to remove it.
One way to test it - open the site in private browsing mode (Firefox or whatever). With no cookies it will show you regular pricing (with no loyalty discount).
