SuperTuxKart is really has become a quality game. Not that I didn't like it before, but it is still impressive to see how far they have come.

Anybody brave enough to try it on AMD and post the results here, so I can make a risk-free purchase? ;)

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Liam soaring through the sky now 'Fugl' is on Linux
20 Oct 2017 at 10:36 pm UTC

Fugl fills a very special niche for me. Sometimes I am too mentally exhausted to play anything that requires focus, and this game has a certain soothing effect on me.

I think they really captured what I would imagine soaring like a bird would feel like, and audio is a big part of that.

In small doses it can be healthy, but for most this is probably more of a "buy it on sale just to see if I would enjoy that kind of stuff" game, rather than a must-have. This is definitely not for everyone, and not for extended periods of time.

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI saw only the title and the picture: Liam, are you sure it's not a hentai pr0n game? :'p
Nothing to do with me, it's user submission (as noted by the author link at the top), I just clean them up (links, spelling etc) and approve them if they're good to go :)

So what you are saying is that you approve of hentai pr0n? Good to know. ;)

Amazon Lumberyard game engine is no longer going to support Linux, not enough demand

there's much more demand for a MacOS editor
I wonder how they are gauging demand, who is demanding?
Game companies have staff who use Macs by preference...

I work for a non-game software development company, and I can attest to this. Macs are very prevalent. At one point everything that our marketing department produced came in proprietary iWork formats. Until we went like WTF guys, you do realize that at least half of your colleagues have no way of using any of that?

As far as developers go, Mac is like 60%, with Linux and Windows about 20% each. Android developers are among the biggest Linux users.

It is usually much easier to cooperate between Linux- and Mac-using developers, because both are Unixes, and a lot of tools are the same.

So it is a double edged sword. Mac can be the best friend or the worst enemy of Linux. Often both at the same time.

The RADV Vulkan driver for AMD GPUs now has a shader cache in Mesa, plus more Mesa news
12 Oct 2017 at 4:17 pm UTC

Running a risk of looking like a total noob, but how do you install RADV? Does it come with Mesa?
