You should take a look at Death Roads: Tournament. The stream I saw of it looks interesting. I also wondered if anyone had done a mech version and found Jupiter Moons: Mecha - Prologue. It's not out and not much information is available to know if it will be good or not.

Ha. I just looked at this yesterday. It was listed at the bottom of my twin stick shooter kickstarter called Mojotron: Robot Wars.

Canonical seek Software Engineers for the 'Ubuntu Gaming Experience' team

Quoting: toorI was tempted, but so many bad reviews on glassdoor about working atmosphere being toxic because of the CEO
I found the same. Not to mention I don't expect it is a long term job. It will only last until Canonical loses interest again.

Canonical going 'all in' on gaming for Ubuntu, new Steam Snap package in testing

Quoting: GuestFlatpak already has several issues, I think, with Proton, most of them fixed but still... how is this any different?
It works on one distro instead of all distros. It can be download from a single store where the server software is unavailable so you are at the whim of a single company. It provides temporary solution until Canonical realizes they lost and drops snaps in favor of flatpaks. :smile:

Open Source Game Achievements with Gamerzilla

Quoting: MaathI wonder, why does this need a launcher to be able to publish your achievements to hubzilla? Why can't it just read a config file in ~/.config/gamerzilla/ ?
It could be setup that way. How would you configure it? I don't like telling people to manually edit a file. I don't think most games are going to want to include a configuration screen for it. I have wondered about the possibility of making it some sort of service in the desktop. What exact technology would be used for that I don't know? I want to support Windows as well so any solution needs to have an answer for that. (It doesn't have to be the exact same answer but more code to maintain is a minus.)

@Hori: It's impossible for it to be secure. The source code for every game using it right now is available. Gamerzilla achievements are like golf scores. Sure you can cheat but it doesn't matter.

Pikuniku and 7 Days to Die mainly. But I also tried a large number of Disc Room Game Jam entries and Monsterz.

Costume Quest and trying out a few others from the Double Fine Humble Bundle. Unfortunately Rad doesn't work for me with Proton.
