Ah, the error says that OpenGL isn't supported by your video driver. So you might need to update your graphics drivers, though the game most likely won't run well at all if you don't have a dedicated graphics card.
Aw, shucks. Would that same error occur in the Steam build as well?
Yep, probably so (though Gearend's not available on Steam as of yet).
As a side-note, everyone who buys the game here will be able to redeem a Steam key on launch, so you can feel free to try it yourself.
