Trine Enchanted Edition Now Available On GOG For Linux
4 Jul 2015 at 9:16 am UTC

In my steam library there is Trine and Trine 2. When I go to steam online store for Trine Enchanted Edition it says I have it in my library. I suppose that "Trine" in my library is really Trine Enchanted Edition?

I will test when I have the HD space to do so.

Also, any news on when Trine 3 will be on Linux?

I think it's always useful to note whenever a game uses Air. Has anyone had success/problems with this game?

The Witcher 2's Linux Version Has An Open Beta For Bug Fixes

Quoting: BeamboomAs far as I recall it's a game built on Unity. They chose "compile -> Linux" in their menu and just assumed it would work.
That is what my gut feeling tells me.
That is indeed what they probably did. I think it's more like "they assume there's a good chance it would kinda work and that's better than not giving a Linux build at all", which as we've seen with The Witcher is not necessarily true.

Just A Friendly Reminder: Don't Buy A Game Until It Is Officially On Linux

This might explain why some third-party developers are hesitant to announce they're working on a Linux port. If they announce it a month in advance, then users might buy it under Windows a month before and the developer might not get credit.

Thanks for the review! Glad to hear it is working well. Did you report the minor graphical glitches? Even though minor, they seemed very interested in fixing any bugs.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyYeah.....this is one of the few games that I didn't want on Linux at all.
What's your issue with it?
My guess is he means that he will spend a lot of time playing it (?).

There's already a Steam page, and Linux is confirmed there (and explicitly so, not just "SteamOS"):

Unreal Engine 4.1 Has Been Released, Features Early Linux Support
25 Apr 2014 at 1:24 pm UTC

From what I understand UE 3 is completely incompatible with UE 4. That is, it's not the same as going from Unity 3 to Unity 4. So I guess it will take some time until games that are developed are released. Yes, there have been some UE 3 ports, but not the "automatic" ports that hopefully UE 4.1 will bring.

I'm guessing that it is straightforward to upgrade from UE 4 to UE 4.1. Does anyone have a sense of what proportion of new games using UE use UE 4 versus UE 3?
