Quoting: Bumadar

They have actually had Ryan "Icculus" Gordon working with them on the game too, so it should hopefully be quite a decent game.

not sure how one leads to the others, I assume you mean decent port ? but then so was DoD (no idea of he helped on that) so all should be fine.

Dredmor is a great game, so It's likely that their 2nd game will also be good.

Quoting: IvancilloHello.

How many releases do you think will be until this project will be fully playable (could finish the standard game campaign)?

I think it's somewhat close to being fully playable. I've wasted a couple of hours into it and I didn't have too many problems, apart from occasional bugs, crashes and generally bad performance. I've also heard that you can complete the main quest with some glitches. Some of the side quests might not work though.

It also needs a pretty beefy machine for now, because the engine is not that optimized. My main rig (GTX 760, Intel i5 2500k @ 3.3 GHz, 8 GB of RAM) usually maintains a 30+ FPS framerate, but some of the outdoor areas are really taxing and the framerate can drop to around 10 FPS.

You can already have fun with OpenMW, but it's not exactly like Morrowind yet.

Not really, I'm still using this crappy old socket 939 Athlon64 3500+ w/ 2Gb of ran and an 8800GTS 320Mb, OpenMW plays pretty good at 1920x1200 so long as I don't turn up the graphics settings.

I missed the HIB with TL1 in it, but I found an official HIB torrent for it out of curiosity, I liked the game, but it had too many bugs in the version that I had found. If this is true that both games are coming to Steam on Linux count me as one of the first to buy both as I love this style of game.

Though the problem is what gear to hold on to and what to get rid of... I always had so much equipment, but never knew what to sell and what to upgrade as often as soon as I would get stuck and upgrade an item I'd get a mob drop in the next dungeon that blew it out of the water...

Quoting: Guest<strike>This falls into a niche in the market that has been neglected for years. I fills that critical gap before tamagochi and after the pet rock.

The problem with Voidspace is that it will heavily favor those with allot of excess computational power at their disposal, the guy using his company's desktops to crunch coins every night is going to have tons of surplus coins to throw around, while Joe Regular that jumps into the game on his laptop is going to be SOL as crunching coins will turn his laptop into a puddle.

Quoting: titiI sadly had to stop spending money on kickstarter and other crowdfunding projects because too many of them did not show a (promised) linux version.
But even when its released I often try to save money :-/. Rust for example was a lot cheaper on ebay for me ....

In general ist easy for me to not buy before a linux version is released. Simply because I have no Windows. Wine might be a option sometimes, but you never know if things really work and how long they will work, so I stopped using this too.

Yeah, I figure I can always hold out till the next big sale, when I'll be able to get it for somewhere around 66-90% off and be able to pick up a few titles purely off of selling the cards as I don't really care much about badges.

Always remember to check the Steam storefront page every 8 hours to vote, you'll get cards every 3rd vote, but also you'll be able to get Linux games on better deals if they get picked for the next block of sales.

Quoting: Gran PC

Quoting: jdubSome devs need to realize steam forums are the worst...every steam community is balls. Taking what trolls say (and there will ALWAYS be trolls) personally is really not professional...announcing it on the forums is just setting yourself up for this.

Alright then, I guess I'll have to start ignoring my email, the forums and all other channels through which the community can give me feedback.

(I don't disagree with you that the Steam forums are pretty bad in general though)

It's a well known fact of the internet:

Quoting: Quote from XodetaetlEww, hard to find something valuable among this cheap clichés avalanche. "Stunningly impressive".

I know, but having not played it and going just on videos and screenshots on the Steam page and here it looks like you can stab a T-Rex!

It's an old Final Fantasy cliche hidden super mob, the T-Rex was hidden in a small patch of late game forest and would beat the crap out of you.
