Quoting: rkfgWill there be voiceovers or just text? Are you going to hire a professional English translator for the text and/or subtitles?

We planned to voiceover main characters. Anyway we still have radio transmissions, loudspeakers etc that will be certainly voiced. Russian to English text translation is being handled by American team that did Warhammer 40000: Space Wolf localisation for HeroCraft.

PS. here's a piece of OST we pushed online recently:

Wow, that definitely adds an unexpected atmosphere! I like it, although I never seem to get a grip of jazz. There is jazz that comes as dance music, which I really find boring. Then there is jazz, that wildly goes beyond my comprehension, but jazz elements in progressive rock epics are amongst the greatest moments in music I know of..
Of course music might work differently in a computer game anyway, with the players concentration mostly on the game at first... So I'm really looking forward to see and hear more of Insomnia!

Just to make things clear, the main soundtrack for the game is still more ambient and something you could expect to hear from Mark Morgan. The video demonstrates music bits you will hear from radios scattered all around the station, which adds that extra cool feeling and vibe to the world.

Quoting: Eike@Liam: I could ask more, like how the Linux port is going, what sales they are hoping for on Linux, ... - but doesn't this interest of the developer call for a little interview article?

It is known that the whole percentage of Linux users on Steam is relatively low, but who knows, if everyone who uses Linux will buy our game, we might end up with a good bonus :D

That's an interesting question. First of all we never wanted to do "Russian Fallout" if it makes sense, and the game doesn't look like one. There are few Fallout related easter eggs but you can easily miss them if you don't know where to look. We have tons of text content and the dialogues really look like dialogues with meaningful lines you can pick as your questions and answers. Basically it feels more like classic Fallouts than the recent ones.

Quoting: INSOMNIA_The_ArkHey people! Thanks for covering the news here. Will be happy to answer your questions :).

Hi, and thanks for visiting GamingOnLinux! Did you get some confirmation from GOG, that they are interested in your game? I backed the project after you announced DRM-free Linux version plans :)

We really appreciate when people show interest in our game so this was quite natural to stop by and say hi :). Well we have a long story of negotiations with them and seems like they are waiting for a playable English version to make their final decision. However I don't see why they would reject us. Still this is an ongoing process and we will let you know the results when we know more.

Hi, thanks for beeing availlable here!
You mentioned working on Linux and Mac versions in your KS updates. Did you have any major issues while you did that? How far did it go?
Can you tell us how many Linux backers Insomnia has?

Well technically working on Linux version is easier as we don't have to use some specific Mac software or hardware (which is a problem in our case). We return to Linux version now and then, and knowing that the interest is still there will certainly help :).

Unfortunately Kickstarter doesn't give us that kind of stats so the only way to know is by comments which are naturally scattered all over the place.
