Nice! It was tough to find, but now that you say, tuubi, it's in their Early Access call out on the main steam store page too:

QuoteAll of this takes place in hand designed levels that are proceduraly assembled each run, meaning you never know where the secrets are or exactly where you're going.

Interesting!

Quoting: tuubiNo proper metroidvania should have randomly/procedurally generated levels. Or permadeath if you ask me. Subjectively speaking, I like a properly designed experience with a clear progression and the repetitive aspect of roguelites almost always just ends up boring me and driving me away.

Dead Cells does look nice despite these drawbacks and I'm definitely interested.

It has procedural levels?

I had to recheck, but it does actually seem to have procedurally generated levels. At least to a degree. Google finds this dev diary on the subject.

This looks like it will be epicly awesome and utterly infuriating in equal measure. Provided they've tuned the difficulty/frustration level to non-godlike levels, I'm pretty interested.

The last time I played something like this though, there were 10 good levels out of a hundred, then the difficulty and precision level went through the roof and I lost interest in minutes.

Looks really slick and engaging through. Fingers crossed.

It has procedural levels? Is that new, or are you making assumptions based on the roguelite description? My understanding, might be wrong, was that the roguelite, in this context, referred only to weapon progression. The Metroid piece refers to unlocking capabilities (only two currently) that allow for new routes through existing levels. Finally the "Vania" piece refers to weapon variety and beautiful, interconnected levels.

Unless it's all changed of course. Been a while since I got excited about this, as I'd kind of given up on it a bit. Great to hear it's all back on the radar.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP

Quoting: FeistNot a big fan of this type of game but I bought it anyway. I used to love their movies when I was a kid and if Netflix bought the rights, then I would stock up on tons of Beer, beans and hotdogs and have myself a whole weekend movie-marathon. :D

They are available on Amazon Prime. At least on the German one (no idea about the other, but I guess there, too as Amazon is quite international).
I even got myself a VPN to watch it from my location.

THANKS!<3

I had no idea any streaming service had picked em up yet. I can even see them for free with the 7 day membership, I think at least one of the titles they have is something that I never saw back in the day.

Now the only question is whether to dive right in or save them for some suitable summer-days. :S:

I bought the DVD version (only one that existed back then) some years ago (one of my best purchases ever) of this:

It's not the things themselves, it's all the outrageous reactions of hypocrites that are funny. The thing itself is usually dumb and doesn't even deserve the attention.

How do you know that they are hypocrites?

Sometimes I can wonder whether I have actually matured as much as my years should make me have. Today I've been shown that it may actually be the case. Not sure how I feel about that.

I wondered if I got it right and there is another meaning of "bum".
Image googling did confirm it. :D
Wondering what a simulator about those would be like...

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: EikeYou're fine when you activate and start it on Linux, this overrides the selling system. I've set my work hrowser's user agent to Linux for the Steam page just to make sure.

Does this account for all games? I bought Trailblazers from GOG, first downloaded and played on linux but been dual-booting to play the actual thing because linux build has a game-breaking bug atm

Not sure if GOG is the same process as steam? Would feel bad as hell if they count that as a windows purchase when I bought it with the intention of playing it on linux

Sorry, what I wrote is valid for Steam, I don't know how other stores handle it.

Hypocrites or not, people get offended by all kinds of trivial stuff. The Internet is full of snowflakes, regardless of politics. Although sometimes when your intention is to offend, it's perfectly reasonable to expect people to get offended.

Quoting: HoriI live in Romania and I'm not impressed, I don't like streaming. I still think it would be better if they start selling native Android games as well, many of the games on their Store already have Android versions.

I mean, sure, it could be nice every once in a while, but I don't see myself regularly using it, at all.
What I hope is that it will allow the Steam Controller to be used on native apps as well - that would be awesome!

I do respect your opinion but I am totally disagree with Valve goes full Android. Let's be honest here;
Google = Android and;
Android ≠ GPL Linux.
Removing all G-Apps (Maps, Service, Music, Youtube etc) without no alternative replacement to G-Apps and you'll get smartphones which are 'dumber' than java/feature/S40 phones. Come on, remember Ouya?

Android was born by mixing all licenses together. Some permissive licenses plus shitty manufacturer and also that 'notorious GPL-violating ARM' chip maker are one of many reasons why Android are fragmented with so many outdated and unsecured versions. I don't want my Steam or any account be compromised. Hell, that the reason why I not doing online banking on phone.

In other hand, I do agree Steam Controller should be allowed on native apps.

Quoting: noxServices like this will likely help push countries with bad cellular connection in the right direction though. With more and more services requiring low latency and high speed connections, it'll likely affect the way things are built going forward. So in the end, it might just benefit you :)

Agree, but you what? I heard that same thing 10 years ago when 3.5G/HSPA started to rolled in Malaysia. 10 years past, the same problems 10 years ago still persist especially in my town/city. Here's the list:

- If heavy thunderstorm (both wire and wireless), your internet will blackout for 3 days,
- Sudden internet interruption without any warning plus some providers even not offer any replacement like free data as apology to interruption,
- If some fucking assholes stealing cables, 7 days blackout (heard stories some neighbourhood blackout almost a month).
- 10 years ago, it's known fact that internet is the fastest and most reliable on wee hours. Today, while internet speed is fastest on anytime, the reliability is absolutely uncertain.

Those are most frequent problems I faced recently. As world known on 10th May 2018, Malaysia have new 'chief' in town (same old leader but with new hopes, new missions and new crews behind). Let see how these crews administering our blessed country.

Quoting: IperpidoTerence Hill is actually still pretty active, he is the protagonist in a very successful italian TV serie.
I'm quite sure it was never teansmitted outside Italy, but it's pretty successful there. There are something like 11 seasons, and it's still going on.

If you mean Don Matteo, they've shown it in Finland at some point. On one of our state-run broadcaster Yle's channels I think.

This game should be good for a chuckle or two, but probably not worth my money. A decent story might change my mind, but a goat simulator with bums wouldn't do it for me.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI always love offensive games like that for the sweet butthurt they cause in all the hypocrites and do-gooders.
The sideshows and comments are almost worth more than the game.

There's a fine line between a crude (but funny) joke and embarrassingly edgy dudebro crap. Offensive things aren't automatically funny unless you're eight years old or just emotionally stunted.

Oh yes, PUH-LEASE. And with a female protagonist too. I'm gonna rock this place fo' sho'. :)


EDIT:
Interestingly, this game has earlier failed to be backed, pitched as a "A multiplayer, open-world action RPG made for small team based adventures":
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildmage/wild-mage-phantom-twilight

There we can see that the Linux platform was planned/promised from the start.

Seriously, this is a bloody brilliant concept of a survival type game, if done right! Not the nonsense that is found in this poor attempt of being "funny", but a real effort and a real budget, set in a living breathing open world megacity. The setting is perfect, when you think about it! You logically own nothing at the beginning except what's in your pockets and it makes total sense, the entire society wants nothing to do with you, you're chased off everywhere, cops on your back, violent gangs, it could work like crazy!

Quoting: ViktualiusBud Spencer and Terence Hill - Movies were a big part of my childhood and still are a big part of my adult live.
Just a week ago I re-watched "Man of the East" (only Terence Hill in this one... also not exactly the type of movie this game is about...) and was filled with joy... just like in the 80s!
And early this year I re-watched "The 5 man army" with Bud Spencer (completely different to the movies the game is based on... very dark and almost no humor) ... and it was the best movie I have watched in years.

Yes, both of them acted in lord of movies in their own.
Terence Hill is actually still pretty active, he is the protagonist in a very successful italian TV serie.

The sideshows and comments are almost worth more than the game.

But ultimately a game has to be judged by its gameplay.
And this one I could see working as a multiplayer game, maybe co-op - or even PvP like Rust.
But single player only? And not even with a story (I could see this work as a Postal 2-like game)? Hmm...

Funny enough, there is a Bum simulator multiplayer game (not on Linux, yet, but they plan to implement Vulkan later on, if the game does well enough):
Hobo: Tough Life
I have seen some streamers (was is BananaDuck? Possibly...) play the beta and that was very, very, very rough.
Basically a survival game with some funny gameplay elements (bin diving was some sort of minesweeper-like thing where skills had an actual influence).

Quoting: tonRThis is for y'all that are living in place where's internet is the best in the world (connectivity, speed and ping wise), so Steam Link app might the best thing y'all.

But for myself, I want truly mobile gaming devices. Streaming isn't substitute for my on-the-go gaming needs especially offline gaming.

Services like this will likely help push countries with bad cellular connection in the right direction though. With more and more services requiring low latency and high speed connections, it'll likely affect the way things are built going forward. So in the end, it might just benefit you :)

Why are so many modern engines having trouble with input?
Are they just so loaded up with layer upon layer of abstractions, filters, and post processing that they can actually lose track of whether simple keyboard and mouse inputs are being properly processed or not?
This seems like an issue that almost no oldschool games had, and it's slowly been getting worse and worse with each new generation of engines.

No proper metroidvania should have randomly/procedurally generated levels. Or permadeath if you ask me. Subjectively speaking, I like a properly designed experience with a clear progression and the repetitive aspect of roguelites almost always just ends up boring me and driving me away.

Dead Cells does look nice despite these drawbacks and I'm definitely interested.

I tried to draw attention to itch.io for many years, but people told me - what the crap is this? Dunno... It works well, it have Linux App, it allow game devs to choose what percentage do they want to give to support itch.io. Game devs even can to choose 0%. Its a good alternative to GOG, not Steam of course.

I really prefer itchio client over Steam client, even if i have much more games on Steam, because of how massive and popular is Steam, and many games i like simply don't exist outside of Steam.

But i tend to pick my games on itch whenever i can.

Then i would go to Humble, Steam and lastly, on GoG (i think they consider Linux users without much care, with not up to date games, absence of Galaxy, etc).

Steam still has one big advantage left over the others so far : you can get a refund.
