I hope I'm not asked to buy all of the cards for the third time.

Would any of us even buy the app if we had to buy the cards again? I doubt I would. I am quite content playing Dominion on my laptop. Anyway, I see the app being more aimed towards the casual dominion crowd.

As opposed to Dominion Online, which was clearly designed with hardcore dominion fans in mind: the sort who would write their own scripts like Salvager and host databases like drunken sailor.

I like playing androminion on my phone, but I just can't see how anything even vaguely resembling the goko interface would work on a small screen. There's just too much stuff there. (assuming they plan to keep the interface all swooshy with pictures)

But they aren't, right?  Making Fun is scrapping Goko's HTML 5 plans.

So it sounds like they're redoing the whole thing in Unity, which can then be used both in native apps and on the web.  If that's right, then... well, I'm not sure I'd be happy exactly, as it completely destroys Salvager, so unless it also has all those features, that would suck.

But they might still be going for a pretty pictures design as opposed to text-based like androminion

Meh, Unity is not supported on Linux AFAIK, so if they scrap this one for a unity one .. I'll be a bit sad even though I don't really play this one anymore.

Unity can be turned into an online Flash app and used on a web page, instead of being compiled as a standalone.

You mean like this?

You still need Unity Web player, which is not available for Linux.


There are some 3rd party solutions; tho I am not sure how good they actually are.

As I said, I am aware of 3rd party solutions, but I never had good time with them.
Pipelight doesn't work out-of-box (I get it to run, but as soon as it starts loading an unity app it errors up) and I don'thave time to fiddle ATM.

This will probably sound very ignorant, but why would you run Linux if you're not having a good time with third party software and fiddling?

I didn't have bad time with 3rd party solutions in general, but with every Silverlight/Unity3d 3rd party so far.

I do like to fiddle with stuff, but this is really not that important to me so much to spend time on it.

Thank you for asking this question. I couldn't figure out how to phrase it without sounding really snide. But you pulled it off!

Why do people ask questions like this? Why aren't all of you eating cake right now? Do you not like eating cake?

Have you ever enjoyed something, and then not enjoyed it at another time? Have those time periods of enjoyment/not enjoyment ever ranged between seconds/days/weeks/months/years?

Not all the NPCs in your life can be well-rounded characters that develop over time, man! :P

Sometimes people ask questions because they're interested in knowing the answer. This was one of those times, both for me and Lekkit.

Yeah, you've said this before, and I still don't think it's true. Again, Goko is playable because of Salvager. Finding a game without automatch? Hope you like spending time in lobbies, not playing the game you're trying to play!

I don't use automatch and I have zero trouble finding games. Of course, I don't demand skilled opponents.

I'm not eating cake because I actually don't like it. But that wasn't really your point, I assume. ;)

Here's the thing. I'm curious. And as I said earlier, it probably would sound ignorant, but I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to know why one would commit to such a thing as an OS that requires fiddling and usage of third party software if you're not that happy using it. I suspected it was something like he had some bad previous experience of some software and was temporarily put off, but I couldn't know for sure.

I often ask iPhone users why they use iPhone over Android, and Android users why they use it over iPhone. Because I'm interested in hearing the reason to why people make choices like that.

I have enjoyed stuff at times that I didn't enjoy at other times. But I try as much as it's possible not to commit to stuff that I might not enjoy. I tried out Linux once, didn't like the fiddling and such. Installed Windows.

I use Android because the phone came with my phone plan.

I could learn to use Linux if I wanted to, but I don't see it being worth it given that I mostly use my computer to surf the web and play games. For complex jobs, I use the computers at my school, which happen to have Linux in addition to Windows anyway.
