I'm not so sure about adding the 3rd dimension. It didn't end well for Trine 3...

Valve show off their new Steam Library design and a new Events page

Quoting: PieOrCake
Quoting: 14I welcome the refreshing look.

Another thing I would like is to wish list a game I already own so that I can get notified when to buy it for a friend. :)
^^ This. The GoG version of UT2k4 stopped working a while back, and my sons still want to play it. I already own it on Steam, but I can't wishlist it to be notified when it's on sale for them.
Wishlist from their account(s)? Os use an external notifier like https://gg.deals/ [External Link]

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIf Steam want to survive this war, We (Linux gamers) need more than a new library design: GabeN must reduce the cut to the 10% or less for to attract big titles like EPIC is doing...
That's not how you fight the war. That's how you bleed out.

SteamOS is alive with a new beta and updated drivers, also a new Steam Client Beta is out

Hitman 2 has become unplayable after the update. 99% of the graphics (in-game) disappeared, all I can see is blue background and the horizon.

Puppygames are making all their games free for Linux, with Basingstoke first

Interesting that they would start with the newest one, and also the only one I don't own. I'll treat it as a demo to decide whether to buy it on Steam.

Also of interest, they seem to have struck a publishing deal with Subsoap for their next game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/348910/Faerie_Solitaire_Harvest/ [External Link]
I wonder if that's the reason of Subsoap revisiting the Linux build of Faerie Solitaire Remastered: https://steamcommunity.com/app/583930/discussions/0/1621724915773764309/ [External Link]

Something for the weekend: HITMAN 2’s first mission is now free and works great in Steam Play on Linux

Played it on SteamOS, at maxed settings, almost no problems. Three observations:
1. "Exclusive fullscreen" setting (default?) = black screen, had to change to simply "Fullscreen".
2. Mouse worked in the launcher but not in-game, which was a big bummer, because I'm used to playing with controller but aiming with mouse.
3. I really, really wish Feral would port it or at least announce the port, because I don't know how much longer I can hold out from buying. :-(
