Don’t Starve – Now Out for Steam for Linux!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/219740
-
A very “shallow” reimagining of Minecraft with a horror theme and a sort of plot dangling in front of our noses.
-
It’s basically Minecraft with a Tim Burton, circa 1990, vibe.
-
I really did get a Nightmare Before Christmas vibe from it
-
-
Digging the art style but having a hard time maintaining interest.
-
The integration of adventure mode into survival mode might be interesting.
-
Unlike Minecraft where you need to figure out the recipes, here you already know what you need to make stuff. Baby’s first Minecraft!
Euro Truck Simulator 2 ..soon?
http://steamcommunity.com/app/227300/discussions/0/864959810052139504/#c828935672597712408
-
T’is in closed beta right now, it’s about 2 chairs in the makes with the workings so far.
-
Your’s truly has been invited to test it.
-
Change gear, change gear, kill a prostitute, change …
-
But where is Train Simulator and its thousands of dollars worth of DLC?
Oil Rush gets Steamy
http://store.steampowered.com/app/200390/
-
Supported Linux (as a standalone application) from the very beginning
-
Granted, it’s been on Desura forever but hey; I actually use Steam
-
UNIGINE graphics are shiny but demanding
-
€16 for a strategy game… I don’t care how pretty those graphics look, nope!
-
Yeah, it looks pretty, but I’m really not interested in Oil Rush.
News:
Linux Port Of Jedi Outcast In The Works (two projects)
https://plus.google.com/110109595966784702846/posts/8xLi5xxfx8C
-
WHAR code?
- THAR code! https://github.com/xLAva/JediOutcastLinux
https://github.com/Razish/OpenJK
-
Looks like a full-on MOD project is underway in the gits.
-
Can’t get it to compile on Ubuntu 12.04.
-
Can’t wait for this to be playable
-
Either one of them really, I foresee a lot of sleepless night ahead!
-
NVIDIA Has Major New Linux Driver: Optimus, RandR 1.4
-
Introduces some support for its Optimus
-
Actually a bit slower on my system
-
Finally enables 1280×720 (stretched mode) on my new ASUS monitor.
-
Waiting for the RPM Fusion monkeys to package this’un and do all the testing for me
-
Still have to use bumblebee/primusrun
Another weekly Bundle of meh
http://www.humblebundle.com/weekly
-
Two whole Linux games and I already own one of them… Nope!
-
Includes Atom Zombie Smasher, Air Forte afn 30 Flights if Loving
-
Do any of these games work on Steam?
-
Nope! Atom Zombie Smasher is on Desura, but they don’t provide Desura keys either so…
-
Supposedly there is a linux port coming for 30 Flights of Loving in the works
-
Divinity: Original Sin by Larian Studios LLC. Linux (and Mac) versions confirmed.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/larianstudios/divinity-original-sin/posts/449513?ref=activity
-
Turn-based isometric RPG set in the Divinity universe which was introduced in Divine Divinity and expanded upon with its sequels Beyond Divinity and Divinity II.
-
Seems to be quite a bit of those coming out for linux with Torment and Project Eternity
-
-
“Original Sin will now definitely be coming to Mac & Linux.”
-
They had me Weresheep
-
Please, nothing can top AD&D’s Werekangaroos and Werehippos
-
-
12 days left to get in ($25 for the game)
-
MOAR LINUX RPGs! Lord Pedro demands it!\
-
It is good to see this marriage between RPG nerds and linux nerds.
-
In all seriousness though, about goddamn time the RPG genre got a some GNU/lovin’!
-
I’m pretty sure the binary gods of Sacred: Gold hate me at this point, judging by how I’ve gotten to the point where I can kill most stuff with a single spell. I really need a new RPG or they’ll come and haunt my electric sheep.

Some idTech4 games progress
http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2013/04/some-idtech4-games-progress.html
-
Yes, please!
-
I remember trying the Dark Mod a while back.
-
-
Work continues to make The Dark Mod standalone
-
The biggest needs right now are the replacement werebeast, a skeleton mesh, and zombie animations.
-
Good to see some work done converting some of these

Game crashes everytime I die on Fuduntu 2013.2 with fglrx 13.1

It looks great on some places and shite in others. Guessing some of the textures are placeholders. Only getting 57’ish FPS in 1080 with things set on “Awesome”.

The game looks fine for what it is. I didn’t have any graphical issues

Couldn’t really find any issues. Was there any background music?

Control / fun

Honestly, I don’t really know what I’m supposed to be doing. I can finish a level but it’s accomplished by a shite-storm of random clicking. For the most part I’m all like ..hey,
. Really don’t like how my “ammo” randomly flies away.

It managed to keep my attention for about 15 minutes. One of the few puzzle games that didn’t get on my nerves. Same kind of deal with dustforce
-
Something I would play if I had a ton of time to kill
P-
-
It’s very reminiscent of Nightsky, with the twist of having the gravity control thing.
-
There comes a certain point where having to restart the whole game every time you die becomes a chore and that’s why it doesn’t get the perfect score.

So the hardware stops existing just because the firmware isn’t done right?!
-
People should stop doing things because in your opinion they’re not right?
-
Sets quite the precedent for opposers of gay marriage, doesn’t it?
-
-
And yes it is a problem with the game, because I’ve played many other Unity games (Guns of Icarus Online comes to mind) and I had no such problems.
-
Final Note: I know the problem in the textures lies with the fact that ATI tessellation is pretty much non existent in Linux, stemming from the fact that AMD doesn’t give a flying fuck about Linux.
Thanks for the coverage, problems

It’s called hyperbole, and it is often used in parody and satirical descriptions. Aka an exaggeration.
-
Yes I purposefully exaggerated to demonstrate just how fucking boring it was!
-
-
If the point is exploration, there is really very little reason to do so at this point and I’m the guy that loves Minecraft and DayZ type-games, where “there is no point”.
-
But it’s still in Alpha so you’ll get a free pass.
-
I’m sure you’ll make me eat my words when the game is finished.

Good show!!!
Thanks.
