Recap ALL THE THINGS!

The great 2015 DRM-free GOG.com Summer Sale has finally drawn to a close and we can all take a breather, scroll down and take a look at what was going on throughout June that may have slipped your attention due to so many awesome deals.

Get yourself comfortably seated, grab a summer-appropriate beverage of choice, and prepare yourself for a satisfyingly organized list of GOG.com goings-on in true digest format!



RELEASES:


June 1st -- Massive Chalice

This kickstarter-born Double Fine strategy came to GOG.com as a day one release. Enjoy

Works on: Windows, OS X and Linux
Extra content: The game’s Original Soundtrack is available separately and 100% worth it.



June 2nd -- Star Trek: Starfleet Command Gold Edition

The tactical ship combat simulator joined a number of other Star Trek titles in our catalogue and we’re pleased to say it already feels at home.

Works on: Windows



June 4th -- The Masterplan

It’s a 2D top-down tactical heist sim, 70’s style. Your heist doesn’t have to be quick, and it sure doesn’t have to be easy - but it has to be spectacular.

Works on: Windows, OS X, and Linux



June 6th -- D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die

This fresh and different adventure game comes from the creators of Deadly Premonition. Go on a tireless search for your wife’s killer.

Works on: Windows
Extra content: The Special Edition (or upgrade your game) grants the Special Costume Set (12 Beers) DLC, the Special Art Book, the Season One Voice Over Script, and the Mini Soundtrack.



June 9th -- The Walking Dead: Season One

It’s a game of character development, survival, and quite a few emotions. You can expect plenty of difficult choices and getting too attached to characters that inevitably wind up dead. Not enough?

Works on: Windows
Extra content: The DLC episode, The Walking Dead: 400 Days, is also available.



June 9th -- The Walking Dead: Season Two

Remember those difficult choices from the first season? Here, they resonate and ripple across the story that lies ahead - so if you haven’t played yet, do be careful.

Works on: Windows



June 9th -- The Wolf Among Us

It’s a modern take on old fables with a gritty, mature, and violent neo-noir feel available for Windows. Beware of the improved choice and consequence system - it will only make the game more challenging - and stay alert to catch comic book inspirations.

Works on: Windows



June 10th -- Kholat

It is a game of survival and exploration, a walking sim gone horror, narrated by Sean Bean. Try not to get too inspired by your narrator’s movie roles and survive the Dyatlov Pass, where so many hikers mysteriously lost their lives.

Works on: Windows



June 19th -- [url=]Tales From the Borderlands[/url]

Continue the recklessly irresponsible race for Pandora's vaults, Handsome Jack is here to break the Internet!

Works on: Windows








PRE-ORDERS:


June 2nd -- Guild of Dungeoneering

Become the dungeon. Instead of controlling a hero, you get to create the field they are to explore. Combined with some awesome deck-building and watch things go according to plan or hilariously wrong.

Works on: Windows
Pre-order bonus: “Pirates Cove”, the first announced DLC pack



June 8th -- Armikrog

This unique stop-motion claymation comes from the creators of Earthworm Jim and Neverhood, and you will be able to enjoy its’ eccentric writing, surreal worlds, and lovable characters.

Works on: Windows
Extra content: The Deluxe Edition preorder comes with the game’s OST, composed by Terry Scott Taylor (the man behind the music from The Neverhood)!



June 11th -- Kyn

It’s an unforgiving Viking-themed cRPG, so be warned. Hand-holding? Don’t count on it. Active-pause? Ha-ha, nope. You’re a Viking, after all.

Works on: Windows, OS X and Linux.
Extra content: The Deluxe Edition comes equipped with the awesome soundtrack.
Pre-order bonus: The “Legendary Firemaster” armor set, including the “Eye of the Fire Axe” for extra fire and weapon damage and greater attack speed.






OTHER NEWS AND EXTRAS:



June 3rd -- Bloodstained coming to GOG.com

We announced that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is coming in full glory to GOG.com - and that we’ll be supporting the upcoming release with DRM-free versions to all Kickstarter backers of the game who pledge $28 or more.



June 14th -- Yooka-Laylee coming to GOG.com

We are also supporting Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter with DRM-free versions for backers that pledge $15 or more. The game will be available for Windows, OS X and Linux starting on day one, so you can start getting excited!

Read all about them or simply install ‘em all and start playing!
I miss "This week on GOG". :(

Fesin: I miss "This week on GOG". :(
I do too, but thanks to constant copyright strikes (the music was constantly getting claimed, even though it was original music composed by a person that GOG HIRED to make for them), GOG didn't consider it worth the effort to continue it.

Besides, even if they did bring it back, it just wouldn't be the same without Enigmatic T. =(
I missed the toilet bowl.

GOG.com: June 19th -- Tales From the Borderlands
May I suggest that you clarify (via the titles and on the game pages) that both "Tales From the Borderlands" and "Game of Thrones" are actually season passes and that in both cases not all episodes are currently available. It was not clear to me until I checked the Wikipedia articles for these games. I believe it could save some unnecessary grief.

You may also want to clarify that despite being called "Supreme League of Patriots: Season Pass", that game is actually not a season pass, as all the episodes have already been released.
Nice recap - shows how much of good stuff is going on here. I'm very happy for gog.com growing and I enjoy the Galaxy - only one thing makes me not so happy as when the game updates it will download a massive amount of data forcing me to pay extra for my internet allowance (I don't have unlimited internet). Anyway I'm looking forward to more good news!
If anybody wants to show support to Gearbox... http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/thanks-gearbox-for-letting-telltale-bring-this-series-to-gog-com/421030
It just doesn't make sense to me. All Telltale games come with OSX versions. It's one engine, and it's been ported to OSX, so they can easily port every one of their games.

I understand that GOG didn't sign for the OSX versions on the older games, but now that they've signed another deal with Telltale, why didn't they include OSX versions?
I missed the whole summer sale. Maybe next year... :D

In some of these cases, even if the OS X or Linux versions exist, and are sold elsewhere, there might be business deals behind the scenes that grant exclusive digital distribution rights for those versions to some other distributor (Steam, for example), at least for a time. There would probably be NDAs in effect in such a case, so GOG wouldn't even necessarily be able to tell the customers why they couldn't get the Mac version of a given game, if this were the case. I'm guessing this is what's happened with at least some of the newer games that have versions for these other OSes elsewhere, but not on GOG.
My collection of Gog games swelled to over 100 because of the summer sale, haha. I did actually buy a lot of the games I wanted to get, some rpgs and whatnot, as well as some games I "Might enjoy"... Aaaaaand uh. Some "might as well" ones. Annnnnd...
@GoG.com: After two of the most sucessful Kickstarters (Bloodstained and Yooka Laylee) you should listen to your users too and convince Yu Suzuki to bring a DRM free Shenmue III to GoG.com.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3

It is the game with the most votes this week :)

We are also supporting Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter with DRM-free versions for backers that pledge $15 or more. The game will be available for Windows, OS X and Linux starting on day one, so you can start getting excited!

Why only backers could get a DRM-free version of the game?
I hate this different treatment of customers, could stop me from playing games.
Or I am wrong?
I hope I am, but there is still the problem with exklusive content.

Fairly certain (eg: completely guessing) this has to do with the way kick-starter works, and the way the devs chose to go. You would haves to ask the dev if all the content will eventually become available later drm free.

JetGumRadio: Will Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee be available for purchase here?
Bloodstained for sure.
