Star Wars: Tie Fighter Special Edition & Star Wars X-Wing Special Edition On GOG For Linux

Hi, it’s great to see someone from GOG here. It would be great if GOG provided an RSS feed for new Linux games and Linux games on sale, because the main (and only?) RSS feed is pretty much useless as the articles never state if the games are for Linux. And I see it also contains the same article in 4 different languages… Not very convenient.
That's what I just wanted to propose too :) Probably there should be an RSS feed for every supported OS (and may be a combined one, or some way to set a custom filter with several OSes). That would satisfy most users.

they don't generally do a lot of announcements for games that get Linux versions.


We didn't get too much of a chance to do a HUGE announcement as I've posted an update in our "what just updated" thread ( http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/post7829 [External Link] ) and we were generally rolling out a slew of updates for other Star Wars games, mostly new language additions :)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or in the GOG forums :)
Hi Judas, nice to see you visiting GOL :) Just an idea - I think it would be good to provide more exposure for games which get a version for an OS which wasn't available before (for instance Linux, OS X, etc.). Because for users of that OS it's an equvialent of the full blown release, while such announcment is made only for the initial one (which is often Windows only or Windows + OS X for example). That way all platforms would be treated equally. It shouldn't be hard to add that into the stream of releases on the front page. Right now Linux feels like second class citizen when it comes to release announcements on GOG.

If that stream is reserved for initial releases only, then another idea is to make another stream on the front page, for backlog subreleases. Shouldn't be hard either, but it would improve usability and discoverability immensely. I'll probably make a wishlist entry for that.

CDPR semi officially confirmed it, but never said who is working on the port. Official confirmation however still never surfaced. So may be that's it.

Developer Infamous Quests Has Announced Two New Point-And-Click Adventures To Be Released This Year

If you are into such types of adventure games, try out also the Heroine's Quest: http://www.indiedb.com/games/heroines-quest [External Link]

If they don't offer a Linux version (they only planned to), just build AGS from source and run it with the game data.

By the way, did anyone try playing this GOG release of Outlaws in Wine? The music doesn't work for me.
