Linux?

[terminabod]

I thought originally the game was also designed to run on linux but now it seems not :( any plan?

Hello guys,
Sorry, but there is no Linux version planned yet :/.

[MightySashiman]

"Sur quelle plateforme sortira le jeu ?

Nous sommes en train de faire une version PC/Mac/Linux de 2Dark. Il n’est pas impossible qu’il sorte également sur consoles ou tablettes, mais nous ne pouvons pas actuellement faire des promesses dans ce domaine…"

(https://fr.ulule.com/2dark/)


Donc c'était en fait de la foutaise dès le départ ?


Vous vous rendez compte qu'à ce jeu de boulchitage sur les plateformes de crowdfunding, vous jouez le jeu courtermiste de profiter de la ferveur des passionnés tant qu'un vide juridique existe, et qu'à force de baiser le système plutôt qu'à faire les choses de manière clean et tenir vos engagements, un armada législatif de plus viendra verrouiller le tout et pourriira le crowdfunding dans son ensemble ? Toujours le même schéma, décidément. put*** de capitalisme primaire.

[Gromit]

Ca et aussi le fait que beaucoup d'anciens développeurs passent par le crowdfunding en utilisant leur notoriété, déçoivent les gens et portent préjudice aux vrais petits indépendants qui galèrent avec 3 sous en fin de mois et qui voient leur campagne de financement en échec parce que les gens ne font plus confiance...
Ce n'est pas pour rien que le secteur game de kickstarter est en chute libre.

Ils se servent des campagnes non pas pour financer le jeu mais principalement pour prouver leur crédibilité auprès d'investisseurs. Les backeurs font parti d'un échantillon "test".

Well that's odd because it clearly states there would be a Linux version,it also very sneaky how you mention no DRM for Desura or Gog but fail to mention steam,seems to me a premeditated act to me.

"We are currently creating a version of 2Dark forPC, Mac and Linux. We may also create a version for console or tablet, but we can't make any promises about that right now."

So next time you wanna hood wink your backers,well actually thinking about it you would get bugger all next time around anyway the internet never forgets I cite No Mans Sky as an example of that.

Sorry, but this is total rubbish.

With all due respect, your funding specifically said there would be a Linux version:

What platform will the game be for?

We are currently creating a version of 2Dark forPC, Mac and Linux. We may also create a version for console or tablet, but we can't make any promises about that right now.

Can we get a reply as to why you're now saying it's not planned?

[Teodosio [GNU]]

Shamefur dispray.

Looks like a developer to add to the "enemies of Freedom" list.

[DownIncognito]

No Linux / SteamOS support? What a shame. Game looks great, but I'm not installing Wine to play it. The days of duel-booting or trying to use Wine are over for this guy. Too many other games out there. Best of luck though.

[triodo]

Shame on you. Hope karma strikes your company really hard.

why? as you promised!

[PublicNuisance]

Lying to your customers is shady and in a digital age won't do you any favours.

[ai_enabled]

Being a game developer myself I must say that this is very unprofessional and cast shadow on all of us. When a studio led by a famous gamedev veteran act in such way with its customers, who will support any less known indie developer after that?

Such changes should be announced as early as decision was made with a refund option to all the backers.

I simply don't understand PR logic behind these words:

You could just say "we're working on it and planning to release it when GOG and Desura version will be ready" and almost nobody will be complaining and you will have good release sales with DRM version on Steam and then release the DRM-free version for all the OS and distribution platforms to earn even more... That's assuming you still want to release the DRM-free version eventually and this assumption makes perfect sense - considering you don't use any platform-locked middleware and has a decent game engine porting on other OSes should be hassle-free.
If you did act with your customers this other way I'm very sure you might have saved your reputation from two community backlashes (first is DRM https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/5v3qjh/2dark_developers_broke_their_kickstarter_promises/ and second is Linux) and most backers might even be supporting your decisions (piracy during initial sales is widely recognized as doing the most harm to developers and using Denuvo for protecting your game initial sales feels like an acceptable solution to address this issue). But now it seems too late...

[AntiSol]

Wow, lying to your backers, I'm sure that'll go down well.

I assume you'll be giving refunds to people who backed you solely for a Linux version, right?

No Linux version after promising it and using Denuvo? There goes my interest for this..
And "thanks" for helping ruining kickstarted games for Linux devs and supporters.

[NomeNemo]

Shame... Being a fan of Frédérick Raynal's job AND a Linux supporter, I thought the promise of a Linux version was doing well backing Raynal's return to game design. I'm VERY disappointed...
