The former Linux dev lead from Feral Interactive has moved to Unity

By - | Views: 14,765

For those interested to know, the former Linux dev lead at Feral Interactive is now working at Unity.

I noticed earlier this week, as Marc posted a hint about it on his personal Twitter (I need to get me one of those sweet Unity tops to add to my collection). Now I've had a chance to personally speak to him, it's all very much confirmed.

It's funny really, as when I spoke to him previously I asked about porting other games and he said:

I'd aim bigger and work somewhere bringing more than just one game to Linux

Well—a game engine is one way to do it!

This is good, as it means a very popular game engine used by many developers, now has even more Linux expertise in-house. Considering Unity has had a number of rather annoying Linux-specific issues lately, hopefully Unity will continue to get more spit and polish for Linux games.

All the best to Marc on his move.

Quoting: ulysses768What specific Adobe product would you like to see on Linux? Photoshop?

For video work, Premiere and After Effects are hard to beat. I just hate Adobe's subscription model. I know there are several video editing suites for Linux, such as Cinelerra and kdenlive, but I don't have enough experience with any of them to say if they're a good alternative to Premiere.

I think kdenlive holds quite good against Premiere, might be missing fancy things, but you can really do all the editing grunt with it (which is really what Premiere and this kind of software should be used for).

The only software that has no alternative is After Effects, it's not like other software could achieve similar results, it's how damn easy they make it to achieve that result (plus there is a heck ton of plugins).

I don't know if I'd call After Effects "damn easy" (ha ha!), but I understand what you're saying. I'm definitely a lot more familiar with Premier since I use it almost daily on the job.
