It's not as insanely hard as Maldita Castilla, but it's still quite challenging (both were inspired by Ghosts n' Goblins in some way.). Good platformer overall. Graphics and animations are very well done, as well as music. Combat is refreshing with all the special moves and attacks.

25 years already. Time flies!

Also, that's one cool tux logo there ^_^

Sounds like an advanced version of "No Man's Sky" - but ways too early for me, even it looks promising.

Quoting: STiATMy guess is that if it wasn't Linux, we'd see BSD in the spot Linux is now.

For we we'd see GNU/Hurd?

The game crashes if the quality is set to anything but the default.
Good otherwise.

Reminds me of Castlevania.

Looks pretty good already. I'll probably buy an alpha version when it will come out on GOG.

I love 4Xs but real-time combat is a deal breaker for me.

I love the fact that as a Linux gamer I can actually afford to be picky now.

And here an old but nice Linux commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSeImqbV30s
just thought about after reading comments here :)

I'm partial to this one:

No real exploration here yet. You can drive around the planet (walk too, but who has the time ;-P), but there is no real point to it yet. At this point it's basically an in-game version of the editor with the vehicle physics enabled. Still good to have a look at what works though. Especially since Linux users normally don't get to play with alphas.

I have very few glitches though. Only when I alt-tab out it seems.

Quoting: tripyAaaand I pulled the trigger. Not for the close alpha tough. No time for it now, and I don't want to spoil my exploration craving with alpha right now.
I mean, I'm waiting for so long for an exploration game (space/sci-fi themed preferably) that I can run without re-installing windows, that I feel I can wait a few more months.

What about Kerbal Space Program?

Isn't kerbal about building a rocket and land on a satellite ?
That's what I understood it is, and didn't really looked further than that.
A youtuber I follow streamed it pretty regularly, and yeah, no. Not for me.
I'm really about the exploration.

That's something I didn't really indulged myself since Skyrim, frankly.
I loved looking through all those caverns and searching places to discover stories.
Fallout new vegas was really good to, in that regard.

My heart skipped some beats when I read sooner this week that the new Deus Ex had depots for Linux on steamDB.
I don't want to be waiting for it, but I kinda hope that it will come.
Looking some youtube video, there is so much lore and so much to explore in that game, it's a dream.

But yeah, basically, I don't get my kick from the survival nor building part, but from the lore and exploration.

As someone born in USSR, I can attest to that this is totally accurate and realistic.

Quoting: lijuNow with M$ producing their ntfs, mssql, .net and so much more for our platform, its just so clear there is no other direction but to grow further and getting stronger.

Be wary of Microsoft's interest in Linux. Remember their "embrace and extend" strategy, which is really "search and destroy". They'd love nothing more than to shut the whole thing down.

If there was a gog version of the game when you pre-order, it would be great :P.
Is this something you are allowed to stream on friday maybe :)?

Quoting: Xpanderlike said -force-opengl needs to be used to launch this to avoid white flashing and some graphical glitches.
Sadly that means older opengl rendering path and much worse performance than with newer glcore.

Seems to run well with the launch option fix :).

QuoteLinux powers so much of our daily lives it's easy to forget: some of our phones, tablets, web servers, routers, TiVo boxes, some televisions and the list just goes on and on.

Linux is, in fact, the most used operating system in the world, including Hollywood where it's running some of the biggest render farms in the film industry (every top animation and special effects house uses Linux almost exclusively). No other OS even comes close to Linux in usage. Not many people realize this. It's just on the home desktop where Linux has struggled to make in-roads. A lot of this is because Microsoft and Apple spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on advertising while Linux gets none. Kinda hard to compete when nobody knows you exist.

i like the game so far, it reminds me a bit Scrap Mechanic's building mechanisms (which sadly isnt for linux, but using opengl).

and ofc some quick gameplay video:

I watched it being played on absnerdity's stream. It looked awesome and he said it was, definitely seems like it would be worth picking up, I checked for a Linux version back then and saw that it wasn't yet released so didn't proceed to buy but now I may.

Quoting: adolsonI hope it does well and some day we can get Agricola and/or Caverna digital versions (with Linux support), too.

I think I'll celebrate by blogging about my experience using Windows 8 recently (for a new job) after having used Linux almost exclusively for the past two years and coming from Windows 7 before that. I'd heard enough about Windows 8 to decide to switch to Linux, but actually using it firsthand…nothing like that feeling you get opening up Chrome to do a simple web search and getting the "Chrome has stopped responding message." Or having "PC Settings" be a separate thing from the Control Panel. Or having the UI be a bunch of flat boxes in bright primary colors—and I like bright colors!

I'm very much a look-on-the-bright-side, accentuate-the-positive type of guy who prefers to win people over by pointing out how good Linux is rather than bashing Windows, but my recent experiences may just lead me to indulge a bit of the annoyance I've been feeling lately.

The Boss Battles are really challenging....
I died many times and sometimes the bosses had like 1% of health...
just one hit!!! OMG JUST ONE $#)(%#$(%*#$ HIT!!! ME RAGE QUIT!!!

Well I had finished the game in like 2 Days so I guess the playtime is like 2-4 hours depending how skillful you are.
Is not a game that I would play again though :P

When you master your Sword and skills all become much more easier at the end...

So Good Luck Fellow Warriors
