Thanks. Actually, I knew about OpenNero, but I just forgot to add it to database. Still, I think we can keep Nero too (at least for some time).

  • 09:03:39 you caught me.
  • 15:27:36 Thanks, berserk, added the game & screens
  • 16:20:04 BTW, one more interesting Kickstarter project: [url]
  • 16:20:29 Linux version requires 100K donations
  • 16:21:25 not that much for a good looking RPG in my opinion
  • 10:56:58 Upd: authors said that Linux port will be released anyway, even if they don't gather 100K, so feel free to support it
