Linux Port of Disciples 2 Announced

Posted by michael on from the linux-gaming-now-slightly-less-feeble dept.

bobz writes "Happypenguin is reporting that Linux Game Publishing has announced the next game they'll port to Linux will be Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy a turn-based strategy game that was well-reviewed but not terribly successful commercially. /me breathes a sigh of relief that it's not another first-person shooter."

    Port 69, the Linux Port of Discipline.... mmmm.


    Good to hear they're up to 2.0, I hear that version 1 had some nasty bugs.

    OK, from the slashdot article:

    From the happy penguin article:
    In IRC today, evil genius Michael Simms... , this article was written by bobz.

    I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine? I was wondering why a non-profitable game being ported to a market that has never been marketable (linux ported games) was a frontpage slashdot article. Now I know.

      Furthermore, posting it without noting the relationship is bad journalism. It's a conflict of interest.

      I agree! It's a clear conflict of interest when the poster of a story has the same first name as the story's subject! What the hell was Slashdot thinking???

    I'm currently working a 3D version of Freecraft, which in turn is a 3D version of Warcraft.

    So that would make your game, what... a 9D^2 version of Warcraft?
