Quoting: Hori[...]I'm so gonna study every bit of code when I have the time, maybe even fork it in order to implement the many ideas that I had for this game... [...]

You're going to have a hard time. As far as I can see, every bit of game logic is in a nice big decompiled assembler file and the only open source part of this is the SDL wrapper.

Quoting: MilaniumThe developer decompiled it and replaced all the legacy windowing and OS integration with something portable. A remarkable achievement. This is the reason why the game is fully implemented and only runs on 32-bit.

I just looked at the code and that does indeed seem to be the case! It looks something like a miniature Wine-implementation based on SDL2, re-implementing just the calls that NFSIISE uses. I don't know about international law (or law in general, IANAL), but this doesn't look particularly legal.
It would be very nice if it could be the basis of an official port though!

I can only find one copy available on Amazon priced at $50, which is frankly insane considering the age of it :/

EDIT: Wow, this is not trivial to compile on Ubuntu :/ Anyone know how to cleanly install libsdl1.2-dev:i386 ?

I'll be trying to finish Alien: Isolation. That game is waaay too long for my taste, at least the past few hours have been nothing but meaningless story fluff with a very, very cheating insta-kill alien :( On two occasions it literally teleported right in front me just a few meters away from the next save-point, so I'm a bit sick of replaying the same sections over and over, but I feel I have to finish the damn thing.

Great to see that they have a proper European ISO keyboard! It's become quite the hunt these days to avoid the American miniature enter key!

I hope they'll continue being awesome in regards to Linux support when Vampyr comes out! :D

Quoting: harfieldFor now I believe Rimworld and the modded version of Spacebase DF9 seem to be far ahead...

Modded Spacebase DF9 you say? Tell me more!

Quoting: EhvisI also noticed a large amount of negative reviews on Wasteland 2. All with less than half an hour of play time. Looks like someone is using the free weekend to take down the rating.

Haha, no, I’m pretty sure these are legit.

Several of them seem a bit... odd. ~0.1h play time and no real comment (eg. "li ca dracu", "Wasteland 2, Best way to waste your time.", this game is sooo bad m8", etc.). It doesn't necessarily seem like a bot problem though, more like spammy reviews.

Quoting: CybolicThey really messed up in the wording of their Kickstarter update, "Beta Access for All Backers". Apparently Linux and Mac backers aren't even included in the definition of "all" anymore :(

They probably meant [Windows version] beta access for all backers. That's about right.

Probably, but they didn't mention any platforms in the remaining text, so it really does seem like "Windows = all" to them at the moment. Wasteland 2 was great though, so I'll keep the pitchforks in the basement for now ;)
