Quoting: armnomadsHi Gaming on Linux,

thanks for accepting this article.

M@yeulC

Thanks for Upvoting. It's our first project in Greenlight

You're welcome, thanks for submitting it. It's always nice to see a submission where I don't have to clean it up (apart from the title) so I could approve it almost instantly.

They didn't even take my link out references my previous thoughts <_<

VR Funhouse from Nvidia to be open sourced this summer
15 July 2016 at 4:53 pm UTC

Quoting: CybolicSmall correction: The HTC Vive was also promising Linux support after release day. I haven't checked the order page in a while, so I don't know what the promise is currently.
A correction on what? What I said was true. It was listing Linux up until release day.

New version of the itch store app is out, better Arch Linux compatibility and other fixes
14 July 2016 at 7:04 pm UTC

Quoting: HoriA cool feature I'd like to see is an integrated Steam Controller configurator. SC is IMO the best controller out there, but it's not (much or at all) better than an XBox Controller without it's configurability.
It doesn't need it's own utility to do that, there's this one.

QuoteI don't really understand why developers can't wait ~two months just to release them altogether, I find it a bit odd, but they must have their reasoning.
For a small developer the reasoning seems obvious. You want your product out of the door and making money as soon as it's finished.
Then surly you want it out on more platforms right away to get even more money? Same logic ;)
Sure, if all platforms were ready at the same time. Seems like they weren't though. No reason to sit on the Windows version while Aaron works on the Linux port.
Yeah I know. It's just the usual for us, but it would still be nice if porters were able to get in early enough so that we don't see delays.

It's not exactly a long delay, which is more my point.

Shen’s Last Gift DLC for XCOM 2 released for Linux
13 July 2016 at 8:40 pm UTC

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: Mountain ManThis is the first DLC that actually looks like it's worth the admission price.

Also, the performance improvements in the patch, while seemingly minor, could have a big impact, especially the one bug that was apparently causing some effects to render twice per frame.

Performance improvements would be great!

So this DLC adds part of what XCOM:Enemy Within added, minus the genetically enhanced soldiers and other stuff that EW had. I wonder if next we'll get the enhanced soldiers, too.

Yeah, still waiting for the complete game and hoping it will end up being a coherent, flowing game instead of a mess with all these little DLCs all over. I hope they fall into place to create the full picture of what this game is supposed to be.
You can already change soldiers with mind powers, has been in XCOM 2 since day 1. They are Psi Operative soldiers.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI want to like Itch in everything they do. Certainly a model for Steam and others to follow. But a quick glance at their catalog reveals it dominated by dating sims and romantic visual novels. Or am I just crazy?
There is a lot of cruft on it due to the low barrier of entry, their sorting options generally help you find the good stuff though.

REGoth Engine, an open source reimplentation for the game 'Gothic'
12 July 2016 at 2:22 pm UTC

Quoting: SmalokiAlso, since the article doesn't make it clear: this project aims to work for both Gothic and Gothic II (which makes sense, since the two games use pretty much the same engine).
I've made that clearer now, the github only really mentions it at the bottom in the code section so I didn't really notice.

Major new release of open source livestreaming kit 'OBS Studio' fixes Linux window capture issues
12 July 2016 at 11:41 am UTC

Quoting: cprnSorry for kind of unrelated question but version 15.0 on my machine doesn't show "Game" in list of possible sources - do I have to install some library or plug-in? I used "Window" and it worked with XCOM: Enemy Unknown but didn't with e.g. Limbo...
Do you mean when selecting a source for the Window capture the game isn't listed?

Works fine for me:
