Quoting: NeverthelessDoes it support Kali Linux?

I can test that in a VM pretty easily to say if it throws errors or not, but I have no idea how much effort Kali devs put into supporting graphics cards!

Will let you know later down the line :P

But don't put too much efforts into it! :D

... as it was a joke. :)

Some young kewl haxors having watched a certain TV series want to run Steam on Kali - and don't have the abilities to make it work.

Of course it was! Gaming on Kali is like Rallye racing with farming machines. :)

Well there is an entire sport dedicated to that!

Lol yeah I figured it was a joke, but that it would be a funny gimmick to see if it ran, if nothing else to be able to say that it does! :P

You could integrate the game into a Kali live CD as a physical special edition. ;-)

lol and then name it after a classic 90's album in permanent marker ;P

Quoting: CyrilHi there!

Do you know if the game could get a GOG release (or any kind of DRM-Free release) in the future?

Sorry to ask that guys but it might be important. Thanks!

We'll definitely do DRM-free, although what stores will be a question we'll have to answer closer to release. As far as we're concerned, both GOG and Humble Store are something we'd like to do. Not massive supporters of DRM here :D

Yep, like Pontus said, there will def be a DRM free version.

To elaborate on why we can't confirm it being on GOG yet: they actually have a quite specific selection process and like to see the games close to finished before deciding if they want it on the platform. We'll definitely be looking to get on there though. Humble *should* be more straight forward :)

Quoting: Stupendous ManLooks interesting, though I didn't know ssh was a 'hacking tool' :-p

Heh, yeah difficult to summarise hacking gameplay in a snappy format though, all three of those elements listed probably better group under the term techiniques, for instance social engineering definitely isn't a 'tool' in the strictest sense either, but both SE and ssh / shellcode are 'methods' used for hacking :)

Quoting: elmapultake a look at the minimum requirements
for the windows and mac versions, you need 6GB of ram, 6GB of HD space
for the linux version, you need 16MB of ram, 100MB of HD space...

what is that? an game runing in a virtual machine?

LOL look the recomended requirements

Lol yeah I was a bit sleepy when I was updating the specs :)

You spotted the recommended specs / 'Hackers' ref but the minimum spec was supposed to say something useful I just didn't save the page correctly, my bad (fixed now)! It's pretty much the same as Windows atm to tbh. We'll be able to offer a more accurate spec later in the year when it makes sense for us to be doing more QA and bechmarking.

Quoting: kfIs that Richard Stallmans voice in the trailer?

Nah it's Eben Moglen, from a talk I saw him give at INET NY some years back, dude's a bit of a legend IMO :)

This is the original if you want to hear his full piece:
