I managed to make my team

Human Fighter
Minotaur Fighter
Lizardman Rogue (he will be equipping long range in case you couldn't figure it out)
Insect Mage

Prolly a little unimaginative, but oh well.

I didn't get far. Like past the first two locked doors. No monsters yet, but I LOVE the atmosphere. I think if a monster had jumped out at me at any particular moment I woulda jumped three feet out of my skin. XD ( ... :( I'm naturally a jumpy person anyways though *sigh* )

I appreciate a company that realizes the idea of no music = best music


.... btw... I want so bad to look at Scy's spoiler but o_o I don't want to ruin anything.....

It's not really a spoiler, per se. You're technically already beyond it. It's about the very first secret room in the game :x Sounds like you're already actually beyond where it's at so if you're curious:

Just a note if anyone else is as anal about EXP distribution as I am: You get half EXP for not participating in a fight. Missing doesn't count as participating. Shuffle characters around so they swing (and hit) every fight!

Thankfully, throwing weapons auto re-pickup so Rogues aren't a clusterfuck early on. You can also get a Spear pretty early too and that helps a lot for the back-row.

Might just be easier to not care, though.

........ *looked at spoiler*

:( .... I am sad that I missed that.... *sigh* I will have to look closer. Though granted, me playing tonight was a joke and just a "let's set up the characters before I gotta run off to do homework."

*sigh* ...... I'll be more careful from now on.

And, going by Shadowrun, they actually need someone with experience in the OS to do it, or if it's easy. They mentioned having a Mac expert, making that port, but not Linux; they have to outsource for it.
"When we added the Mac version of the game (thanks to your enthusiastic support), we did it because we have the necessary Mac experience in-house and our development environment already supports PC and Mac."
"While it’s true that we have a great environment for cross-platform development (how else could we target PC, Mac, iOS, AND Android!), it does not, at this time, include support for Linux. Because of this and because we needed to add Linux to our small studio’s skill-set, we felt that committing to a Linux version was unwise, so we (reluctantly) took it off the table."
"Our partners at Zipline Games (the creators of our dev environment, Moai) have rearranged their development roadmap to support Shadowrun Returns and add Linux to their list of supported platforms.

Don't know if you're talking about Linux, Neg, but there's an example on how it works.

Want to play PC games.


Use a non-Windows OS.

Yeah, it takes some coding work to get cross-platform compatibility, especially if it isn't built from the ground up on an engine that works on those platforms (and/or is easy to port anyway). A friend of mine has spent the last like 8 years doing coding for Wine in his free time to get games up and running. It's not exactly the easiest thing in the world to do with that and it gets to cheat.

Edit: Actually, it seems to work under Wine already anyway and you can get a DRM free installer via GOG. And seems a hack has been put together for a Mac install.
