This all so amazing I think I'm in shock!

Does it have to be scary to be good though? It's easy to expect another Amnesia in space, but I'd actually be happy if it was something new and original.

The spotlight will be on SteamOS, but we are not going to be left empty handed. If even 5% of people using SteamOS realise it's Linux, that'll be a HUGE win for us.

That initial loading, which very likely is caching, is also very likely to be the GLSL shader compilation. DirectX has precompiled shaders, this is one of the reasons we need Vulkan!!

One of the Obsidian founders wrote in this thread on Reddit:

I'm one of the founders at Obsidian, and I definitely don't regret us supporting Linux on PoE. I'm admittedly biased as a Linux fanboy myself though.

We signed up to do it during our Kickstarter campaign as a stretch goal. I think [PoE's lead producer] Brandon's feeling was more from the trials and tribulations of setting it all up and problems we ran into during development. For example, it was harder to develop in Linux because Unity didn't support the tools at the time. Debugging was painful, but ultimately, we got it done, learned a bunch from the process, and now Linux is now fully supported in Unity.

FWIIW, we don't have any plans to not continue developing on Linux!

Yeah sounds pretty grim to me. Opening up with "It should be pointed out that there are some significant limitations" kinda puts a dampener on the enthusiasm.

I was planning on playing SoM, but I anticipated it so much that I can't get myself to play it now. Weird. So instead, I started randomly playing Mount and Blade Warband, with the Clash of Kings mod (Game of Thrones flavoured). OMG it's awesome, I got totally addicted, now I finally understand the hype. With the extra mod the visuals don't seem to bother me as much as they did initially, in fact sometimes it even gets pretty. I'm also playing it on a gamepad (YES!!) using Antimicro to map all the keys. I find it so much more comfortable (on the couch of course) and combat is sooo much easier than using mouse + keyboard (obviously just my opinion). I can see how this game could become a huge time sink....
