There will be bloody good times.

<span class="bold">Turmoil</span>, a lighthearted strategy/management game where you drill hard on your way to becoming a turn-of-the-19th-century oil tycoon, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 30% launch discount.

We've all heard the stories, seen the ghost-towns, and watched the Oscar-winning drama. But who knew that participating in the oil business of 1899 America can be as enjoyable as it can be messy! As you grow your business and invest your earnings in the local economy, your town will also grow, competition will become more severe, and you'll need to lease more land in the auction house to keep looking for new oil wells. Hit some hard rock, a pocket of gas, or even ice? You can't give up now or the other prospectors will crush you! Buy better tools, upgrade your production line, or grease some palms in the local saloon - whatever it takes to keep you ahead of the game! Perhaps one day you might reach the wealth and status required to become the new mayor or at least the most powerful oil baron in the area.

Set up the perfect oil-drilling business and turn a huge profit out of the ensuing <span class="bold">Turmoil</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 30% discount will last until October 5, 9:59 AM UTC.

I'm delighted to see this show up on GOG! From the let's plays I've seen, it's very much my thing. ^_^

Released again?
Looks quite fun, wishlisted.
Having also seen a Let's play of this, it did look like a great little game. Good price point too.
Looks alright, if a bit Flash-ish.
Looks like a nice oil tycoon game. Definitely interested.

Edit: And again no 64bit linux installer. Ah, well. Lost my interest.

A port from mobile platforms maybe?

I thought the same. Doesn't mean it can't be a good game, but makes me want to investigate more before dropping money on it.

Hi,
No, it's not a port.
We created this for PC Windows originally. Then created the Mac and Linux versions.
Turmoil might come to mobile platforms eventually. But right now we're focused on adding more content.

No it doesn't, which is why I didn't say it. ;)
It's a bit too expensive for me at the moment, but it looks like it might be interesting.
looks way cool to me


And on a side note, Gamious would make a great name in Titan Quest! :D

Do you have plans to update the Linux build with a 64bit version?

Gamious: ...
In the spirit of supporting interesting ideas and game concepts, I think I'll just bump this into the cart now instead of holding out.

Glad you brought it to gog, so thanks for that =)
