QuoteWhat I do love though is that it's much more forgiving than games like XCOM, as your soldiers don't die

...

don't die? So what happens then, do they fall unconscious and are just out of that particular battle?

Quoting: HamishLinux was a target platform from the word go though - it might be pushing the line a tad far if we start demanding same day release for Linux even for the likes of "Earliest Access".

Then I probably misread or don't remember well, I thought they had no plans for Linux, and the game seemed pretty interesting to me, that's why I was disappointed.

Quoting: RutineThat's good news, I was interested by this game but disappointed to see there was no Linux support when I heard of it. Really good news ! :)

Well, I don't know whne my last Kerbal mission was, but it must have been long ago, there seem to have been lots and lots of changes, that's great !

Quoting: oldrocker99It's a wonderful thing for me that I have so many games for Linux today that I have this problem! Back when I started using Linux in '08 there was one commercial game:Neverwinter Nights. Then the Humble Bundles started, and things began to look up. Now, with Steam, there's a surfeit of riches!

Almost the same for me, I did not even knew Neverwinters Nights was on Linux, so no commercial games for me at the beginning. Then, World of Goo came in one of the Humble Bundles, and Majesty HD in the Ubuntu Store, and... so many more now !

The first one was a really good game, I especially loved how the propulsion mode was fully newtonian, and how you were not forced to stay on the ecliptic plane (IIRC). It was a hard game to master, though, with so many things to keep an eye on, and an not-so-good looking UI. But it was definitely a good game. I hope they will solve the bits which were annoying, while keeping microgestion systems like ship design, planets infrastructures, etc...
One thing that annoyed me was this microgestion thing, too : you can't really avoid it. It's fun, but sometimes, you would want to do something else, and you are forced back to it.
I think they should make more things optional, while letting the user dive deeper into customization if he wants to.
They should aim for somewhere in-between Sins Of A Solar Empire and Star Ruler 1, (maybe they could allow optional customization to go beyond SR1 in terms of customization, like, let's say, control the buildings placement on the planet, while keeping this as an optional feature).

I must admit, I didn't know they were about to make a sequel, but I am very pleased by this. And, due to overheating problems (which should be solved soon), I couldn't gather any information about this sequel. So, please disregard any comment I may have made that are not relevant.
One last thing : I hope they will open translation to the community. IIRC, French translations were awful in SR1 (maybe there were no translations at all, I can't recall)

Quoting: Bumadar

QuoteThey have actually had Ryan "Icculus" Gordon working with them on the game too, so it should hopefully be quite a decent game.

not sure how one leads to the others, I assume you mean decent port ? but then so was DoD (no idea of he helped on that) so all should be fine.

Dredmor is a great game, so It's likely that their 2nd game will also be good.

This really does look excellent, I hope they deliver as it also looks pretty ambitious. Cannibalism and Cthulhu....I'm sold!

If you're playing as Women char .. that game gets a lot harder to master.

Quoting: ShmerlWhat is SteamOS compositor? Does it use Wayland in any way?

It's based on xcompmgr, but has (as of a while ago) 4200 lines of additional patches.

I'm not sure, no do I think that it works with wayland [yet].

So it is using X.org. At least it's good they aren't trying to reinvent the wheel and make their own display server (like Ubuntu does). Hopefully they'll turn it into Wayland compositor when the drivers will make it possible.

Maybe it'd be easy enough to mod it so that parts dropped with chutes opened are considered to rescued?

I've already got debris from staging all over the launch area for some reason though (it's neither rescued or removed).

Wow...


That is awesome. I am very excited for this. Earthbound was a fantastic campy RPG.

Awesome and the best part is that it's its own standalone game, no emulators needed either!

You forgot to add the source btw: http://www.mother4game.com/faq/

I find EDuke32 to be a bit "overkill". Yes it does work with Duke3D without the hi-res graphics etc, but I find a program called "XDuke" runs perfectly with wine under linux.

XDuke was the way I played Duke3D in linux until Megaton Edition got official support, now I use that for online Co-Op.

Quoting: XodetaetlIf I understand correctly, VBO (vertex buffer objects) improve FPS but doesn't help with world calculation.

You are right as I understand it though, optimizations and threading is what fixed that I think.
VBO are basically a block of OpenGL instructions which are stored GPU. This way you can just tell the GPU: do these instructions again. Good examples are static meshes, or skyboxes.
Helps most in slow programming languages, as these suffer the most from submitting each and every vertex. (Not saying other languages don't profit a lot from it too)

Opened up steam and was pleasently suprised seeing this. Installed and plays great for me.

Darn, I was hoping I had something to do with it. Somewhere in that thread (like page 20 or something) is me asking for a linux port lol. Even gave them some links to monogame2 and stuff. This is pretty much the only game I keep steam via wine around for and a native client would be amazing.

I've beaten the ever lovin hell out of the first one but it doesn't matter. It's still one of my favorite dungeon crawl, hackie slashie games and this is great news.

Yeah, I've only played perhaps half of the games I own on Steam. And completed less than 1 in 10. (The ones I have, have been properly good though.)

This looks great. I'll probably pick this up eventually.

To be honest current build on steam works pretty flawlessly for me...

I noticed Aspyr has Duke Nukem Forever in its back-catalogue. Not that it would happen, but wouldn't it be amusing if DNF ever showed up on Linux? :P

Icculus did also work on Dungeons of Dredmor, and while the port was decent, the game was and is still buggy as hell. Not enough to stop me from playing it over and over again though.

Great, I'll add this to my wishlist as a "watch". So far the 3D Tools for Steam on Linux are mediocre, maybe this will be better?
