Exciting new stuff for Thimbleweed Park, Man O' War: Corsair, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard, and more!

It's a well known fact that after the summer shopping spree is over and what is described by psychologists as "Backlog Guilt" sets in, you are twice as eager to get gaming. But whether you're trying your loot for the first time or you're in the middle of your playthrough, extra content and fixes are always welcome. Here are some titles that got leveled up in the past couple of weeks, in case you missed them:

<span class="bold">Thimbleweed Park</span>
Ron Gilbert's darkly humorous point & click got some cool fixes but the most important additions are the all-new idle conversations between your playable characters and an in-game Hint Line. Just dial 4468 (HINT) from any in-game phone to get those sweet puzzle hints that would put your college fund at risk, back in the day.

<span class="bold">Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles</span>
A ton of changes and fixes have been implemented in the game, the most important one being a new campaign which lets you play as Nurgle's Chosen and spread the plague all across the Old World. How can this not be fun?

<span class="bold">Vikings: Wolves of Midgard</span>
Plenty of fan-requested features and improvements recently hit this fierce action-RPG. Chief amongst them the couch co-op multiplayer option plus several changes made to the NG+ mode and the Trials of the Gods. Plus the game is now 50% off until next Monday.

<span class="bold">Turok 2: Seeds of Evil</span>
The latest update to the dinosaur-blasting shooter brings Dedicated Server support, as well as DirectX improvements and a few new multiplayer game modes, the InstaRok and New Raptor-Fest.

<span class="bold">Through the Woods</span>
This atmospheric horror adventure just became even more atmospheric, thanks to the completely re-recorded voiceovers for the main character, now provided by actress Malin Pettersen.

<span class="bold">Expeditions: Viking</span>
Quite a few changes and additions: A new "surprise round" feature to allow player positioning before the enemy turn when ambushed, full Danish localisation, three new campsite scenes in the Denmark campaign, new animations for Taunt and Dust abilities, a new generic support ability animation for when you're wielding a spear, and an animation for consumable utility items (ie. potions).

<span class="bold">Death Road to Canada</span>
Fixes and seasonal events galore! Canada Day and July 4th bring recruitable beavers, Uncle Sam, and Muscle Eagle, all of which have special lines and things to say upon death.

So what are you waiting for? Fire them up and check out all that cool stuff!

BreOl72: At first I was pissed, that there was no notifications at the usual place.

But then I noticed, when I'm going to my account --> games -->

[My collection (xxxx)] shows the total number of my games, followed by [updated (xx)], IF there are any games updated.

If there are games updated, I click on that little arrow right from [updated (xx)], et voila: only the updated games are shown, and I can download the patches, etc.

It's really no biggie.
Yeah, this isn't in Galaxy as far as I can tell. Through the web it no longer shows a notification on the main page, it is only as you described it, when you specifically go check the Library you see it. In Galaxy there is no "Updated x" option.

I didn't notice, because not only do I not own any of the games, but GOG Galaxy doesn't exist for Linux.

And I damn well hope there's a tar.gz version so I don't have to figure out how to convert whatever awful thing Ubuntu uses/a .deb package.

The most recent update I noticed was Factorio, and I'm waiting for a bigger change. I do have barefoot essentials, so that helps.

Phew, GOG Team, I was already worrying that the notifications did not work the last 3 months. But since only 7 games got updated in that time, which are not in my library, I am relieved, that I did not miss any updates. Thank you for doing such a good Job, GOG.

You see I was worried that you would push Galaxy, with the auto updates.Customers that use the offline have basically no means, apart from the user maintained "what did just update"-thread, to determine if an update happened and are basically in the dark on that topic when they are not forum users and don't know about that thread(a sticky perhaps?)..

Today I had 4 notifications, the first for 3 months, glad the notifications work and the other 40+ updates for the games in my library in that timeframe did not vanish into oblivion.

Thanks to the forum users which maintain the "What did just update thread", which is basically the first thread I always read, when I log in.

No, GOG! How am I or anyone else supposed to notice when you disabled the notification system 3 - 4 months ago? Who ever had the "smart" idea to troll GOG's customers with this announcement should be taken out back behind the woodshed...

I haven't purchased anything since the "hidden" announcement of the forced Galaxy installer being included in the offline game installers back in April. Even though multiple games which interested me went on sale at great prices, I've passed on them all. I will not be making any future purchases until the notification system is fixed and that the is a public news item linked on the front page announcing that any linking of Galaxy in the offline game installers has been abandoned.

I'm starting to ask myself if the internet is worth paying for anymore. It's almost as bad as cable TV.

I must be the only one here who doesn't give a **** about updates.

Brigador update pleaaaase. It's been about a month since the last update on Steam, and us GoGers are still without several new vehicles.
I like GoG, but the situation of all the games here without support, achievements, proper updates etc. is starting to tarnish my feelings of loyalty. Definitely considering only purchasing on Steam from now on when games are on both storefronts. Steam is a P.o.S., but at least developers keep their games fully up-to-date on that storefront. Getting sick of GoG's seemingly nonexistent relationship with devs who have games here.

I did notice. ;)

No, GOG. I haven't noticed. That's because you guys suck at letting people know what got updated. How hard can it be to integrate the latest updates on a special page, so you can browse everything or filtered by games owned, wishlisted?

How hard can it be to add a button on the game's page so you can check its latest updates, so when you're interested in a game you can simply check if the countless bugs plaguing the ratings section have actually been removed. That would make a lot of people happy.

Have YOU noticed your customers have asked for decent update notifications in a very long time? It feels like you haven't. The updates are on your servers. All you have to do is to put them out for people to see.

Why can't I downvote the first post?

bad_fur_day1: I must be the only one here who doesn't give a **** about updates.
I don't either. The fact that those who DO can't get notified about them, however, upsets me.

Telika: Either the announcement is a goof, illustrating how entirely disconnected from the customers experience the GOG staff is, in which case this thread doesn't have any more chance of reaching them than the billion earlier ones about broken notifications,
Let's be honest here, this is GOG we're talking about. It's probably this option.

No GoG. Didn't noticed. Still have no notification in upper bar. But that's weird. Someone should tell them that something is wrong here.

Many months ago notifications worked. And I think that small notification icon is better way than making regular weekly post.

Ganni1987: I gotta say they're starting to get a bit better every day.
What do you mean they're getting better? We went backwards! In fact, the notification system was one of the few things on this website that actually DID work, to the point that it annoyed people in the frequency in which it'd pop up and the fact it'd never leave! I didn't think it was possible for it to get worse than that, but no, here we are.
I feel like I'm watching a scene in a comedy film.

Ganni1987: A new sorting by "recently updated" would be handy, this can be a bit tricky since GOG tends to do internal updates so maybe this could be implemented in a way where it works only if a changelog is present.
This would be to assume that GOG would actually bother keeping a changelog rather than just shoving the work on its userbase and letting them do it for them. Y'know, like they do with the site functionality and the search engine, the one that the staff uses more than the customers.
