Is there any chance of a Linux build?

... whoops, that's what I get for leaving the reply box open for 30 minutes for poking around elsewhere.

I wondered when trolls would show up. The tone was suspiciously sober. Next! :)
Hi there! This was just answered on the previous page. Thank's for the question! :)

I agree, I enjoyed Torchlight but honestly have very little interest in sci-fi fantasy settings. I hope we'll see another FPS set in an current-day urban or even suburban setting (FEAR 3 had some of this, like going through suburban houses and a "big box" store).

My question would be unrelated to Bombshell, but perhaps there's a chance it'll get answered: will GOGgers ever see the "missing" 3D Realms games (like in Steam's anthology) show up here, like the DOS version of Raptor or Death Rally? Thanks for Bio Menace of course!

To tell you the truth... I stopped paying attention to reviews years ago... And basically I never cared what a site review said. Just write down a few words and damage a company and people who worked on a game. I mean really... 2/10?
A 6/10 would be nice considering you are not totally bashing a game but you indeed critisize it. A 2/10 won't help a developer learn from the mistakes but it seems like its aimed only at causing damage to the developer. 2/10 or 3/10 is like you are saying "don't play that game even if they pay you". Damn reviews are so full of shit these days : P

p.s.
Are those the same guys that give call of duty a 9.5/10 every 1-2 years?

p.s.2
txcforever, are you Greek Cypriot : P ?

Here's a question I posted in another thread about patching and I am curious what you think about that situation:

You have recently released a game, and that game has sold fairly well. Somebody finds a bug in the game, and posts a youtube video demonstrating the bug in action, and it is actually rather hilarious. Furthermore, the bug isn't something someone would likely encounter in normal play.

Do you:
1. Release a patch that fixes (or at least attempts to fix) the bug, or
2. Intentionally leave the bug in the game?

Just as a sidenote, for me it was the other way around. I saw the screenshots and they reminded me of games like Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death or Shadowgrounds/Alien Shooter/Alien Swarm/Alien Breed. Then I suddenly read "Action RPG" everywhere - here on GOG as well, and I was confused because that was not what I had expected from it. Good to hear that my first impression wasn't that wrong and that it's not really another Diablo-clone!

I would argue that companies should stop calling games "RPG"s unless the game plays like one, with actions being governed by stats and random numbers instead of player skill. As it is, the term RPG is overused, which makes the term useless when deciding if it's a game a person would like.

Hello, 3DR and Interceptor guys/gals
Having a blast with Bombshell. I am very relieved to see it's not as buggy as the review copies were and I think the difficulty is pretty fair so far but an easy mode for the kidz is probably gonna help.

My question is whether you have a co-op mode in mind or if it's something you're considering for any future projects?

Well ANY attempt at taking DNF even remotely seriously is just gonna end in tears and horrible Metacritic scores. I never got why people bashed that game so much, I had a lot of fun with it because of how uniquely juvenile it was. Absolutely tasteless trash but heck, that's what made it awesome.
That being said I am very grateful Bombshell is NOT just a female Duke Nukem clone. She does feel like her own character and I think you guys did a great job with her.

I think more it's possibly a new topic for dev, how design a game that young and old can enjoy. Not that all game should target them all, but some could try.

I don't think difficulty can solve it, I quoted the problem with many modern shooters, Easy is quickly leading to remove any spice. Just for the topic of speed and reflex I thought more about time scaling options. Eventually the game could offer some quick reflex tests to propose a setup to each old player.

It's probably too soon but I suppose that sooner or later such topic will become more pertinent, perhaps in 10 or 20 years. :-)

Regardless of the critique the game has received so far, and whether or not some of it is justified, I just wanted to thank you guys for releasing a DRM-free version of the game, and also for taking the time to chat with the GOG community and answer their questions.

I hope you'll manage to fix any legitimate flaws the game currently has, and make Bombshell a success for your company and your fans/customers alike, despite the rough start.

I actually used to date a woman who was the spitting image of the character in this screenshot (except blonde / strawberry blonde).

The fact that the one in the screenshot is making almost the exact same face I would frequently see is probably why that relationship ended ;)

But really from the structure of the chin, shape of the pursed mouth and size of the nose - even the ears - it's kinda uncanny. Plus, like I said... the face she's making - spot on! ;)


I too want to thank you for releasing this game here Day One, DRM free - it means a lot. I don't have a question per se, but more some "AAR" suggestions from someone who hasn't 1)played the game 2) read the reviews and 3) sort of had no clue about this game until it arrived here

The game Laura Croft and the Guardian of Light was incredibly well received and marketed as a pseudo-top down "twin stick" - esque shooter game with some Metroidvania elements. For what it was, I believe it was incredibly well reviewed and much loved.

Conversely, another game that stressed "Action RPG" with premium generation visuals and a strong action combat focus also failed to gain traction for "not finding its niche." That game was Too Human.

I think your marketing department would have been better served with comparisons to twin stick shooters and especially references to LC and the Guardian of Light. It would have caused your game to have a bit better identification and a more solid grounding in expectations, rather than people feeling a bit lost as to what to expect.

Regardless, I absolutely wish you the best! And maybe change the name if you think 3DRealms could be an issue with the review process in the future. Remember, haters always gonna hate! ;)

Come on guys, be honest! A tri-barrel revolver's going to jam like crazy, surely?

The gist of what I heard from diverse posts, also from one employee was: He was an unfocused perfectionist, which had to go the way of the dinosaur in todays complexity. But I think we can both agree that all he did was trying to make the best game possible.
The only company I see major sucking concerning duke is Gearbox. THIS company shat out the remains of the game without fixing even the bread and butter core stuff of a shooter, like the low enemy animations. Not George. And then they fixed NOTHING and hid all the servers and modding tools behind DRM until DNF died for good.
Even if some of Interceptors ROTT2013 was not finished at release (e.g. server binaries would not work), they fixed it post release and released MANY content patches for it. And it had modding tools and no DRM.

Two things.

1: Hello Fred & Scott. A user named StrikerMan780 has the source code to Terminal Velocity and is in touch w/ Mark Randel (TV's Creator). Unfortunately the source has to be closed under NDA. StikerMan780 tried to reach out to you Fred a/b talking to Mark a/b the source code to TV. Will you try to get the whole rights to Terminal Velocity and get through the legal obstacles?
