GOG Open Up For More Indie Games

From indie games I'd like to see more free ones like Maldita Castilla and Herione's Quest. But GOG for some reason aren't interested in them.

From non indie - there a are some goods ones like the upcoming Bioshock Infinite, but it's an issue of GOG convincing 4K to sell games DRM-free.

See live interview: http://www.twitch.tv/arvaneleron [External Link] they just said they they aren't committed to Unity if it won't work out for them - they are pretty early in the prototyping stage yet.

I hope it won't be plagued by performance problems like many Unity games on Linux.

Pretty much no one wants Linux support, every single time, but you still gonna do it anyway.
Digging that ignorance. Yum!
I can't find that comment. When was that?

Their minimal pledge for the digital version now is $25 which isn't small by Kickstarter standards.

Quoting: FutureSutureI wonder what information they are referring to, and if we as a community have access to this information.
Perhaps simply that linux/mac browsers only look at the front page on kickstarter and not any other page, while windows browsers look at other stuff… That’s what I did anyway ;).
More like Linux / OS X visitors didn't back the game while there were a lot of them :)

Might be some browser statistics from Kickstarter which is available to the campaign owners only?

This is a welcome change, and I'll back them now. Not happy about delayed release plan, but it's way better than putting Linux into a stretch goal.

That game looks great!

Thanks!
Yeah, it's really done with love and has hardcore old school feel to it - really tough and challenging. I find it close to impossible with a keyboard though. Some recommend using a controller for better playability.
