timppu: I've been very interested in Trine (1+2) because they seem quite charming, but then I saw one GOG review call it "the modern The Lost Vikings"...

I hope not. For some reason I didn't like The Lost Vikings much, the levels didn't seem much more than some puzzle where you had to figure out how and in what order to use your vikings, before moving to the next level (puzzle). I lost interest quite fast, it just didn't do it for me for some reason.

I hope Trines are something... different? I don't know, maybe even generic platform jumping games would be fine to me, after all I did like Croc on PC quite a lot, a simple yet charming 3D platformer. And I definitely loved Another World, a "serious platform game".
Well you just described why I hated Trine with a passion. It's very charming and for the low price it may be worth a shot but I hated that every level was a puzzle to figure out how to move to the next area and if the one character you need to progress is dead then you must restart from a checkpoint but the game doesn't tell you this so you try and try and try and after 10 minutes figure out that you can't move on without the Thief who is dead.

Some will say that it's an action-adventure game so puzzles are to be expected and that's true so I'm not saying it's a bad game but only that I dislike the type of game here.

Actually, I was pretty sure the Wizard can get to just about any area that the thief can.

In any case, its a pretty easy game, so your characters should not be spending much time dead.

Starmaker: (And if Joel is reading this - there should be a Trine 3 some day. It's only appropriate.)
Who are you outing me like that... :)

Cheers guys, your comments and support is much appreciated. :) (There is also a demo of Trine available for those wondering - right here as a direct link, although it's a bit old and not the latest version in terms of controller support etc.)

Nice to see this game here in GOG though I already owned it. This is really a great game. Heard that the game is released on game console...but I really wonder how this game can be played without a mouse...

I have Trine on PS3 already. I'll probably get it during a sale for the soundtrack though.

I'll definitely be interested day one if Trine 2 comes here though, don't have it yet.

Think I'll pass.

On my 3rd copy of this game, that is.

I would also very much like the ability to get the Linux version through GOG when one exists. If support is the sticking point then I would be happy with just being able to get them as unsupported extras. Any Linux games that GOG is likely to add would probably be ones where the developer is active at the moment, so it is only natural that the technical support is handled by them instead of GOG. This is different from the older games where part of the GOG package is that they get it working on newer machines.

Oh, and how about link from the game pages to corresponding page on WineHQ AppDB, if there is one?

gameon: The last linux i used was way too difficult to install basic things like graphics drivers.

What is the best linux os right now, and how does it compare to windows?
Windows is the easier gaming platform, no doubt about it. But well, Linux is a non-DRM operating system so for that reason alone I think Linux users are probably well represented in GOG userbase, more so than with gamers in general at least.

These days installing Linux is way easier than it used to be, although it depends a bit on luck with your particular hardware. I use Kubuntu myself and I am not too much familiar with other options because Kubuntu works well enough and gives me KDE which has tons of options and configurability out of the box.

Both Windows and Linux have their own annoyances, but in the end I am willing to trade some extra work for better control and configurability. It is also nice to be a smaller target for viruses and bot networks.

kalirion: The extras are sure nice, but who doesn't have this game yet?
I have it now. I didn't even know this game existed until GoG added it to their catalogue^^ But sounds like real fun, especially because of multiplayer mode.

Congrats! I suggest you start paying attention to the Humble Indie Bundles though - Trine has been in 2 of them last year!

Great game. Hope to see Trine 2 here sometime.

Trine is 80% off on steam this weekend. Coincidence?

gameon: How much is that in dollars then?

You reckon they are trying to outprice the GOG version?
1,6 Euro right now. So about 2$.

The timing of the Steam sale is unfortunate so close to the GOG launch (it's got nothing to do with GOG or Steam though, this is something we agreed with Steam a long time ago).

I think we can make this up for you guys, not sure yet how exactly but we'll figure something out when the dust settles, so please feel free to send a quick email to me at our support ( http://www.frozenbyte.com/contact/ ) and I'll think of something.
