As I do this with most RPGM games I find on this site, I just wanted to let you know how you can run these games natively on linux. If this is already common knowledge simply ignore it ;)

So after extraction, most of these games will contain a nw.dll and package.json, if that is the case, this method most likely works.

So what do you need:
  1. Extract the game to any location
  2. verify that the game has a package.json and nw.dll
  3. download nwjs sdk from here: (e.g. linux 64 bit)
  4. extract the tarball to the game main directory, so that the nw binary is next to nw.dll, overwrite any file that might be there already
  5. open the package.json file in a text editor, Put in any value for the "name" key, it does not matter what you put here. For example: { "name": "game", ..... }
  6. launch the game using ./nw
This works with all games so far, you even get the nwjs debugger by pressing <CTRL>+<SHIFT>+<I>, have fun!
