Im shure there are a lot topics around but I just wanted to thank you, that you recognize us as customers :) I hope you'll do more ports in the future

Btw:

If I buy the game, do i have access to all packages for Linux?
I use Gentoo amd64 and Ubuntu 8.04 32bit

Nice,

Im on my way buying it :)

I'd like to second this.  I was going to buy World of Goo after playing it at a friend's place, but my long-houred job most of the time requires me to be in Linux and I held off.

Now a Linux version is out, I've bought it, if only to make my lunch breaks more fun!

I also wanted to thank 2D Boy for this port to linux, after playing the demo I just had to buy it.

Hoping to see more great games for linux :-)

Thank you!

Cheers

I also wish to express my enthusiastic appreciation for the linux port. This is one of the main reasons I will purchase it, the other being the windows version runs flawlessly in wine on my Debian system (for when I wish to run it in windowed mode and not full screen).  :)

Pro tip: hitting alt-enter makes the Linux version switch to windowed mode too. ;)

*applause*

Good thread!

And, yes, I say thank you as well!

Looking forward to some more fun games on Linux from you guys!

I've just bought the Linux port today. Well worth the money. I've played it on the Wii but I don't really use Windows any more so this was a most excellent joy to find. 8)

Completed the demo, loved it.  That and the support of Linux made this a must buy.

Can't wait to see what you come up with next, and with Linux support I will be there to buy it :)

Just thought I'd add my voice to the happy crowd of Linux users. I use a less well-known distro myself and the game fired up first time with no problems. Good stuff. I'll definitely keep an eye out for any future offerings.

Thanks a lot for the Linux port! I've just switched from Vista to Ubuntu and that's another good reason to stick with it. :)

I played the windows version on Linux under WINE, and I was very happy that it wine'd perfectly.

But thanks for the 'native' linux version! I got the windows version from a friend, but as soon as I heard of the linux version, I hopped online and bought it.

I love you 2d boy!

Just another thank you for Linux port.  I bought and played on Windows but prefer Linux.  I just downloaded and loved it wineless and windowless.  Thank you

I also would like to thank 2D boy for the linux version.
Because of your linux version, I purchased the game which I already own for the wii. I love your game and appreciate your consideration of the small market shares os platforms. Thank you. And I will recommend this game to everyone I can.
Dan-

+1 For so long I've been waiting for a really great game that was also released natively on Linux. Thankyou for supporting us and giving the geeks something fun to play. Thank you for keeping it DRM and region free. Thankyou for reminding the whole games industry that games are about FUN!

I only wish I could buy your next game NOW! :D

Wonderful game in every gameplay segment (story, artwork, humor, sound and video), light on resource and ported very well! What a funny game! So just go and bougth it, because 2dboy deserves much more love and money from our Linux world. Hope there will be WoG 2 (if that is in 2dboy's plan?) ported for Linux too.

Huge thanks for everyone involved at development of this magnificent and magic game :-*.

Just signing my thanks as well. Don't play games much these days, too busy with grad school, getting married, etc. I tried Vista, it crashed on me, costing me a good few days worth of work I should have backed up. Switched back to Linux full time (switched back to windows for Fallout 3). Been bummed I have not been able to play many good games in the time I have, been having a blast with Goo. Great game, great job on the port! Love you guys!

Adding my small "thank you 2D boys" here too. One of the main reasons for me buying this game was it being DRM free and the promise of Linux port (of course it being an excellent game was important :). Thank you, and also a big thanks to Maks for the excellent work on porting!

Me too! I'm really happy to see (at least a few) games bring back gaming (and not only capitalistic corporating ...) to life! I grew up in the great times of computer gaming with C64, Amiga & Co. Just to see that the last years were just a race for graphics and thousands of 1st/3rd person shooters. And now such a fantastic playable, funny, adorable game ... also for Linux! Yahooooo! :D After playing the demo on my 64 Bit Ubuntu, I just bought the game and played the remaining levels. Great stuff! Big cinema! Cool game!

Perhaps, if you guys get the deserved income, please check your download logs - and release your next game for Linux first!  ;D  Just to show all that Linux users are willing to pay money for good software! Especially for such very good crafted and funny games. Keep going and show more of your talent! Thanks again! :-*

A big thanks from me as well!
Continue making such great games and continue making them cross-platform and I will continue buying them :)
Most fun 16.31EUR I have spent in quite a long time :)
Currently working my way through chapter 2!

P.S. 2D Boy somehow sounds smexy for a company too, grats for that :D And may you be spared by that "second system effect" you dreaded! Please upgrade your forum server though, it seems it is at its utter limit quite frequently..

Hey,

I don't usually post on forums but I registered just because I wanted to to add my voice of appreciation.  Great game, great port. I hope we will see more from 2dboy in the future, especially on Linux!  ;D

Thanks,
Andrew

Thanks for making your game available for linux!! Best 20$ I spent in a while!

Same here.
I'm glad you've made it available for linux. Keep up the support!

I've heard a lot of impressive things about Linux, and it was really interesting! I'm planning to purchase Linux port.I'm excited to use it.
Thanks for the info.

Another linux user here chipping in gratitude for distributing a native linux version. Bizarrely my housemate had more issues running the Windows version (thankfully fixed with a good old reboot). It's nice having a decent quality game that doesn't end up dragging along because of WINE's overheads.

I already bought WOG on Steam, but I made another "donation" this week, during the anniversary deal, in support of the Linux version.  I hope the developers see this thread.

Yes, gotta say I very much love this game.  Thank you 2D BOY!

Another thank for the LINUX port.

You 2dBOY'z REALLY ROCK. I've told all of my friends and colleagues about this GREAT GAME.

Απλά... ΔΕΝ ΥΠΑΡΧΕΙ !!!
(Simply... It doesn't exist in Greek)

And another thank you for porting an awesome game to Linux. Really appreciated!

Best luck to you 2D BOY!

Good thread! ;)

And, yes, I say thank you as well!

Looking forward to some more fun games on Linux from you guys!

I'd like to chime in to the praise for a Linux version of this game.

I played the demo and liked it – must have been ages ago – and just found out about the birthday event. I don't think I would have bought it without a Linux version, no matter the price. Good job!

Thanks too, I appreciate not having to use microsofts mean bean machine to play this game as well.

Another full time Linux user here saying thank you!

A friend of mine actually bought my copy for me, randomly IMed me the link to download without any warning, and I was so hooked I stayed up until 4am playing it that night. Then I proceeded to spread the love to other people. I made a friend of mine download the demo and tell me what she thought, then I bought her a copy when she told me she liked it. Apparently one of her friends liked it enough to buy a copy also, and I think she bought a copy for her boyfriend. Of the bunch, I'm the only Linux user, but if I hadn't been able to play it, they may have never found it. :)

I look forward to seeing what other fun games come out of 2D Boy in the future! Keep up the great work and the Linux love!

Thank you for porting this amazing game to Linux! Registered just to say that.

Doumo arigatou gozaimasu! :D

thank you!

Thanks for making a good game and for porting it to Linux.

Just wanted to add another thanks to this thread!  Fantastic game!  Paid full price during the sale due to the Linux port being available, and not having DRM.  If I had to run the game through wine, I would hate to pay full price.  I shall certainly be recommending your game to all my friends!

I registered just now to be able to say thank you for giving us Linux users the opportunity to play this game. I actually bought the game through steam at first, because I didn't know it was available for Linux. When I found out, I actually bought it again just so that I would show up as a Linux user in your statistics. ;D

So, thank you again for taking the time to develop this game for Linux!

Let me add, that I purchased the Linux version a long time ago (like sometime last winter) for the full price, and I have to say that it was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY.  I am not a "gamer", in fact, WoG is the ONLY game I own, but I bought it immediately upon playing the demo, such was its quality.  I have to say at no point was I disappointed with the game (although there were some problems with the emulated 64-bit port that seem to have been cleared up with 1.41).  I understand that not everyone can afford to pay what I paid for this game, but quite honestly, paying anything less than $1.00 for this game (heck $5.00) is a real slap in the face considering 1) this is a fantastic game that gives wonderful enjoyment 2) it is available over numerous platforms 3) it is free of DRM hassles 4) it has linux versions (only OS I use), 5)  the devs are just two dudes with their own shop, not some big corporation with board of directors meetings, earnings reports, shareholder proxy battles, and all that corporate BS. 

THANK YOU 2DBOY for this fantastic game! 

Many thanks for creating such a high quality game that runs superbly well on the Linux platform.  You have my continued loyalty.
