No announcement, and not even a changelog, but Paradigm is now available for Linux! :)

I didn't even realize Paradigm was available at GOG. I just recently wishlisted it on Steam after seeing the Linux support mentioned at GOL.

Wishlisted here now too!

Hype intensifying!

!

Get it GOG, don't take years again!

Well, that comment sounds promising then :)

Update (31 July 2017)
Added the Linux version of Full Throttle Remastered to everyone's accounts.

Now that the Double Fine sale has ended. Just great...

Yep, I generally don't trust promises like that either, but they did say (or so I recall) during the pre-order period they would eventually have both Mac and Linux after the release. I think there's been a couple of sales for it since then, minor though.

Similarly, Cyan has said they would make a Linux version of Obduction, but only if they had the resources and time, which apparently hasn't happened yet. The Mac version was more definite and they actually came through with that, but several months after the initial Windows release.

But the later it happens, the greater the discounts, right? :-D

Looking on the bright side, the Linux "installer" is actually a .tar.gz archive. I hope it's the new default™. Well, I'd actually hope for a .tar.xz, but I guess that's a bit too much.

Really? Hahahahaha, that's a good one! Yep, going back to compressed tarballs would be good news indeed.

I just wrote an unpack_gog_game.py wrapper script which uses unzip to extract data/noarch/* from the Zip file at the end of the MojoSetup bundle into a folder named after the installer.

Sure, it disqualifies my install from technical support if I didn't actually run the installer, but it's far less bothersome than putting up with interactive installers that don't remember my preferred games folder and clutter up my launcher menu and I've never needed to contact tech support anyway.

(I keep a lot of games installed and neither LXDE nor KDE subcategorize the Games folder, so it's easier to dogfood my experimental "Steam client-alike which doesn't require a service" project.)

So far, I've only heard of one game where some kind of post-unpack script had to be run for the Linux version (yay, lack of a Registry), it was contained within the game folder (I think it was in the "support" folder next to "icon.png" and "gog.com.shlib"), and I remember it being expensive enough that it probably still hasn't come on sale cheaply enough for me to consider buying it.

Another Linux addition! As of today <span class="bold">The Silver Case</span> is also available for Linux:

Well, Linux versions are on a roll lately! It's now the turn for <span class="bold">Dust: An Elysian Tail</span>.

Thanks to Tannath for posting it on 'The "what did just update?"' thread!

Judas also brought it to my attention here.

The party is not over yet! <span class="bold">Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap</span> is now available for macOS and Linux.

Thanks to WinterSnowfall for that one!
