GLFW, a platform-independent API for developers already supports Vulkan

GLFW is an excellent, modern Windowing Library. It is equivalent to SDL2, and certainly not worse than it. Probably better in a number of ways actually.

@BOYSSSSS yes I think you're right. I'm at least one who's played Bioshock but not SOMA, although I hope to rectify that in 2016!

Review: Bound By Flame on Linux

I played a bit of this recently. Voice acting bad, but combat was definitely fun. I didn't like some of the audio sound fx, particularly in combat, but it's forgiveable. It's a B grade title, there's no doubt about it, but I did have fun

I wouldn't get too excited about this, I think it's just server related, not game client related unfortunately...

Bound By Flame, an impressive looking action RPG now on SteamOS & Linux

The dialogue, on the other hand, is of fanfic quality, the narrative style is on the level of a 5th grade book report, and the voice acting is mediocre.
Yeah when I mentioned B grade before, it was referencing this. I haven't even gotten into the game past the first 5 minutes, but those first impressions are telling. However it looks reasonably pretty and if the combat is decent I'm sold. I'm glad we have more options for these sorts of game...
