Quoting: FutureSutureI did, but got no response.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?

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.

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

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

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].
