Wow. 15 replies. That was impressive.

Why has he not responded? One would imagine that a newbie would be excited to be so warmly welcomed...
Um, that would be because I turned off my computer right after posting, and I only just got back.
Hello and welcome from a semi-newbie! 
I'm planning to make the switch to Linux myself in the near future so thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if AGS would run smoothly or not.
Are you using the Linux interpreter or Wine to play games?
Does the editor work in Wine? Any hiccups?
AGS runs fine under Wine. There are a couple of very minor screen glitches where the font isn't quite the same as the program is expecting, but nothing that detracts from using it.
The one thing that doesn't work is running the game in a window. It runs, but you can't move the pointer. But it works perfectly in full-screen mode, so I haven't been too worried about that.
The compiled game also runs fine under Wine, with the same caveat. I haven't even tried the Linux interpreter yet, but I'll give it a go at some point.
I have noticed that the graphics in the compiled game don't look as good as they do in the editor's test mode, but I don't think that's a linux issue - I'm guessing I'm probably using graphics that are the wrong size? But that's another issue I can get back to.
Welcome! Good luck on making your game! The comic seems interesting 
It is a brilliant comic strip - well worth bookmarking. You'll want to start from the begining of the story to really get into it, but I guarantee once you're hooked you'll never leave!

(they've also got a very lively forum there, btw)
