There’s been a fair bit of talk recently about attempting to multi-thread using OpenGL so I thought I’d write a bit more about what “multi-threading” an OpenGL game is, what’s normally done, and how it compares to multi-threading in Vulkan. Here's an attempt to explain it a little.
Valve have finally announced what they suggested they would do at the first SteamDevDays, Greenlight is being thrown out. It will be replaced by 'Steam Direct', which may still require a payment from developers.
Hooray, it's Friday again and it's time for the Friday Livestream once more! Linux games will once again be played and nonsense will be discussed on our live show of Linux gaming! Reserve your seats and point your browsers towards our Twitch for tonight's show!
You may remember recently I wrote about 'threaded GL dispatch' in Mesa possibly getting merged, after AMD's Marek suggested it and there was some backlash, well, it has continued.
Continuing my love for Croteam, today it was pointed out on reddit that the Croteam developers have been talking quite a bit more about Vulkan on one of their Steam forums. They also stated that Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter should have the Fusion update with Linux & Vulkan in 'weeks'.

The upcoming RPG and set in the distant future has a compelling new trailer that explains more about the background to the plot and where the player character comes in.
Another good game project that could use some help in the way of your votes: The Dark Mod. The developers are wanting to get the game onto Steam through Greenlight.
Looks like everyone is going to be happy with this one. Feral Interactive have announced the system requirements for HITMAN ahead of the release next week. AMD & NVIDIA are supported.
