good read, tbh your quote from part two does not suprice me, publishers, the big once, probably have little knowledge of linux and what they dont know scares them. windows is for most of them a simple calculation: game type x userbase x engine used x development tools = possible profit ...... with linux they are cluesless, they either hear horror stories or see kickstarters who ask huge ammounts to add linux and have yet to see real results. maybe with more game engines becomming available it will change a bit, time will

Cheese Talks To Robert Kooima (about Neverball)
20 Jun 2012 at 3:48 pm UTC

right, first of all there are only negative answers in the poll, which is a bit silly.

I like your interviews, its not something I read when I quickly browse the site but more something when I am sitting relaxed with my tablet.

secondly, what I do miss a bit in part one a refrence to the history if neverball, to me the game was new and it was only through this post that I saw the link to the history, I know now its also on your side to the left but somehow that little menu does not work very well on an android tablet and its default browser :)

thirdly, a nice and interesting interview and I enjoyed it.

The Humble Indie Bundle V Reddit IAmA - A Summary

Its a bit sad that the HiB guys are looking at none native Linux games as an option, I do fully see where Hamish and his petition are coming from but to be honest I think we passed that junction already. On the other hand I am glad they see that AIR is not the way to go and at least the money for making the wine package goes to codeweavers which is a good thing as they are the engine behind wine for sure.

I would prefer native builds of course but I also have to admit that limbo right now runs better/more stable then for example Psychonauts which has been crashing with me a lot during the in game movie starts.

Also for the "normal" user if I may call them that, in the end what counts is the fact if it works and not how it works and more games on linux is a good thing in the end.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 4403, member: 6"Maybe try using a different program, and if that does not work it is probably time to contact support.

duh..... 7z x psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip worked without issue... thanks, but should have thought about that myself :)

any clue on this:

/Desktop/Downloaded> md5sum psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip
feb1d3216bbe32a317ea80cb4f88dcae psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip

checksum is correct

/Desktop/Downloaded> unzip psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip
Archive: psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip
fatal error: read failure while seeking for End-of-centdir-64 signature.
This zipfile is corrupt.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip or
psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip.zip, and cannot find psychonauts-linux-05312012.zip.ZIP, period.

I downloaded the 4gb twice now and the checksum is correct so ????

I have little issue with Wine, I use it a lot. But if limbo does this now then it simply mean in the future we will see more humble games doing that which eventually will mean less native humble games..... which is a shame as humble bundle in a way forced developers to work with linux.
