question about this review, you mention that the audio cables is a downside, but you don't mention an audio cable in the review, so why the heck does the keyboard have an audio cable ? for a headset/mic or ?

if so then might want to mention that is this review, do see the point if they as long as the usb, unless you got a pc with usb & 2nd set of sound connectors at the front, could lead cabling to that ?

Hamish has it correct, you invest in the idea of the kickstarter and you can only hope they make it, your not buying anything and its up to them if they put out what they made as opensource or not, you did not pay then to do that :)

anyways, the soutpark episiode about kickstarter http://www.southpark.nl/clips/s4v9pg/washington-redskins-kickstarter [External Link] should be a must watch for many who got no idea about what your really do when you donate/support a kickstarter.

sorry but what made you think telltale would release this on linux, because its an adventure about a game that is available on linux ? telltale has never release their games on linux.

And as for because MS involved comments..... right... and they also behind the fact that these telltale games [External Link] are not ported either. Telltale simply does not do linux games, their choise end of conspiracy.

some of their older once (mostly before the .net stuff) do work fine under wine. Sam & Max specially worth a try if you want some fun. anyways check This guide [External Link]

Hopefully they're able to sort these issues out soon, and we still have our fingers crossed for a release before the holiday season.

I think its more an issue of these 2 vendors sorting stuff out, or working towards a solution.

Big issue with AMD at least (not sure about intel) is that developers have no where to knock and ask for help/support or answers. Nvidia's developer support is at a much higher level, if your a member of the "the way its mean to play" club you get premium support, but even if your not you still get a reply to your questions as a developer and this is something that is extremely lacking on the AMD side, unless your one of the big shots like ubisoft/ea/activision or your game & market is big enough so you pop up on the radar your basicly out of luck and can figure it out yourself.

Quoting: SpeedsterYeah, so the character animation is rough, that doesn't mean it won't be a good adventure!

true, but if you read any review from sites that are good in this genre of games (so not PCgamer or anything) you'll see its not a good adventure either.... sadly :(

Planetary Annihilation is on my list of Kickstarters I am sorry I supported, Its my own fault and I will learn from that but PA is not even close to Total Annihilation in terms of a single player campaign and although the idea of the planets is a cool one but because of the planets curve (or what ever you call it in english) half you screen room is wasted... I don't know, the idea is good but the end result simply does not suite me at all. ah well :)

its a great great game, I just finished the Humble Store version using the latest version of crossover without a single issue, ran smooth and most of all it was really really fun. They pushed the engine to the max I think, lots of outdoor stuff as well as good dungeons.

Yes a shame there might not be a linux release, but if you like this style of old school Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder game then its silly to skip it just because there won't be a native version. Does it really matter that I am running it in a crossover shell, sorry not to me, it matters if I enjoy myself and 23 hours of gameplay tell me I did :)

Isn't that the same as https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1902082235/multiplayer-space-combat-ensign-1 [External Link] ? which was one of the 1st kickstarters I backed.

On Medium (1920x1080) it's sadly another story with it on the exact same area hitting a max of 20FPS, and with dips down to 9-10FPS regularly. The input lag does seem to be sorted, but the game-play does still feel sluggish and not playable.

to be fair you should match this to your same laptop running windows & the witcher 2.
