Source 2 the sourceining

No official word from valve on this yet, but its good to start putting the tools in Devs hands
L4D3 CONFIRMED!!11!!
Guess we’ll find out at games com

Leadwerks gains steam

http://store.steampowered.com/app/301170/

WHAR Linux!11?
Really, that is your selling point.
There are better, cheaper engines available for Windows.
“Lets have a kickstarter to bring it to Linux natively”
- 1 Year Later…
  - “Fuck that noise! We like money more than we like being in the good graces of Linux gamers/game devs”
You know, I almost could buy the whole doing it for exposure angle…but fuck it

Yarrgh!

RTS /w boats.
Looks a bit amateurish for the price,. +

Build 267

I waited for the 3min load time for the tutorial and it loaded.
NOPED when I fired the first shot.

Lovely Planet

Published by the creators of No Time To Explain
Placeholder graphics …the game
Its like…twee…hipster…quake?

Nuke it!

Big thanks to Simon Borgström for the keys.
SO it’s multiplayer only?
- Yup and Lag kills are very much a thing.
- If you just run around one of the planetoids while shooting a rapid fire gun, you can see the delay with which the shots are fired.
The gravity mechanic seems interesting. I’d maybe pick it up if it was on sale

Hipster dungeon

Would be amazing if it allowed networked play.
^ I will give it a spin when/if online mode is added.
Yeah, local co-op seems a limiting factor for this game
roll 4dnope and drop the lowest

TakeTwo lets possible Linux Borderlands: Pre Sequel news slip

http://ir.take2games.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=86428&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1955544&highlight

Would be nice to have a proper Borderlands game on Linux: http://i.imgur.com/QoAStDm.png
- Although, considering the cunt (aka Randy Pitchford, aka this idiot: https://twitter.com/DuvalMagic/status/458705704610586624) they have atop Gearbox, I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled a Leadwerks.
I think someone finally figured out this Linux business is a thing.
I anticipate some smugness on the horizon

Killing Floor 2 – Meet the Zeds, part 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No5dJ7OUlVM

Repetitious or not, the original KF did pull me in quite effectively for 45hours.
Of course, back then, there wasn’t a whole lot of variety when it came to Linux games on Steam.
I thought we already did this story
The author waxes about how orgasmic the combat is in the game
Hilights include a new melee combat system and perks

Noooope nope nope nope nope nope (thank strider)

I’m liking FNA more and more.
Big kudos to flibit for the continuous introduction of more SDL2 features to it!
I still like how XBLA lives on..in linux gaming

Terra

http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2014/07/support-development-of-terra-centauri.html

Someone actually built a game /w the MegaGlest Engine?
- Yeah and they’re hoping putting centauri in the name will draw people in hopes it’s an Alpha Centauri type thing.
- Which admittedly it does fit into the genre, it probably won’t be as good though.

Unvanquished Alpha 30 released

http://unvanquished.net/news/133-alpha-30-project-of-the-month-edition,

Vertex data optimization! Finally!

Tuxemon

http://www.tuxemon.org/

Nintendo’s gonna sue somebody!
- Dunno. Nintendo is usually chill until someone tries to profit.
I like the Tux pokemon rendering: http://www.tuxemon.org/images/featurette-02.png

– Nooope

– Not sure if want

It shines in multiplayer, even if it does get a bit laggy when you’re playing with people from other continents.
Single-player works for what it is, but it really is a multiplayer oriented game.
Like Venn said, very good party game.

If I start going down that road, I’m gonna be poorer than Pedro very quickly
Of course I’m going to expect it! r600 still covers the highest percentage of Linux AMD graphics users.

I can read babe?

Risin’ Goat ladies and gents.
From a collection of dim-witted FKS that can’t read.
I sent them the usual “Demo or GTFO” speech and he had this to say:

Venn and I can empathize. We too are plagued by constant weekly visions of Pedro’s face
So… You left your plasma TV on for 10 hours playing youtube videos?
- To me that’s indicative of a bigger problem than having my face seared onto the screen.
- Also, I guess you’re lucky it was my face. Considering our content, you could have ended up with something worse on your TV.
  - Like your O-face
We like ze ARCH!11! It’s the fan club we have issues with.
