Regarding the Heroes of Might and Magic III, I just wanted to point out the excellent VCMI engine making this practically a Linux-native game!

Well, I didn't see that coming! I love those Subset Games guys!

I am pleased! Though I suppose that means I need to finish CrossCode first if I want to avoid being sucked into two excellent story games.

Quoting: g000hConsidering getting Shortest Trip To Earth [External Link] which is at a good discount on Humble. It's an FTL-like.
Nice! I loved FTL and still play it quite a lot. This looks really neat and 80% off is indeed a pretty good deal! I just bought it too.

Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1) is now available for Linux

Nice, I was waiting for this! I started playing this morning and enjoying it so far. I really like the humour.

I have the same issue with the intro video not playing. I don't think it's the codec though. Other videos do play and it's the same vp8 with yuv420p for all videos. For anybody curious to see the video, they are all in "steamapps/common/Cyanide & Happiness Freakpocalypse/Freakpocalypse_HPTH_1.09d_Linux_Data/StreamingAssets/".

Political strategy game Rogue State Revolution gets a demo and a release date

Quoting: AkienIndeed, glibc 2.33 is fairly recent so it sounds like they built custom Godot binaries on a cutting edge distro. This is problematic as Linux binaries need to be built against the oldest glibc version one aims to support, so typically on older distros (CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 16.04).

I'll help the devs to fix their Linux binaries to ensure that they're as portable as official Godot builds.
Heh, I found a rather brute-force workaround, which is probably not recommended. I downloaded Godot from godotengine.org and replaced their binary with it. It does make it run, but who knows what that'll do!

It turns out my laptop is too weak too run this demo smoothly so I didn't test it very well. My main rig has Manjaro so no issue with glibc there.

Interesting game concept though and I love the FMV. Red Alert-style acting, for those of you who remember!

Hmm, looks interesting, but the demo doesn't run on Ubuntu 20.04.
 
./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64)

I think Ubuntu 20.04 is only on 2.31.
