Quoting: migiziVoxel looking games is just a hot art style (after MC became popular). I highly doubt they are using real voxels. They are probably emulating it with cube primitives. Real voxels require volumetric rendering. Look at Voxel Quest http://www.voxelquest.com/ [External Link] that guy built his graphics using real voxels. We likely won't see a lot of true voxel games for a long time because modern GPUs are designed for polygons not massive voxel data.

Anyways it looks interesting. I'll probably pick it up when it comes out. I'm a sucker for pixel and voxel looks. I should say good pixel and voxel art. A lot of mixed reviews on Steam about performance. Which is probably right because even emulating voxel data with cube primitives requires a lot of data that has to be looked through. Probably more of an issue of how the data is stored. I'm working on an emulated voxel engine for fun and I've see what happens with all the data required for proper voxel emulation.

real voxels aren't that far away, look at the voxelfarm engine, it's being used in the upcoming everquest next and uses opengl, and looks increadibly good

Quoting: KallestofelesHi All,

Good article, thank you for the information.
AMD's GPU drivers have always suffered a lot. After Linus giving a middle finger to nVidia, they stepped up their game (was not regarding GPU performance but it seemed to work on that end as well) and are providing excellent driver support under Linux. My actual question would be, how are the actual CPU comparison between Intel and AMD in regards to gaming? I have looked for some info on the web but all I get is compression, rendering times etc on Linux. Nothing regarding head-to-head Intel vs AMD CPU comparison with different games under Linux. Have I missed something and can someone give me a link? Or has no such comparison simply taken place...

try this for searching for the best cpu, however i would add the fx8350 between the i3's and i5's, especially if you're also doing productivity

btw does anyone know any good top down multiplayer shooters?
can't seem to find any good ones, even on windows, or they're dead.

Quoting: fedsoI'm trying to recognize the icons on the video, the second from the bottom seems Code::Blocks, anyone recognize the V (second from top) and A (last) icons?

i'm pretty sure i saw the A on my ubuntu when i still had it,maybe the app manager or the ppa-manager or something like that, it's defenitly something that comes with ubuntu preinstalled, no idea about the V-icon though

i'm personally hoping trackmania will be ported to linux, damn that's a good fun racing experience
but i can't seem to get it running in wine
