Griftlands, the RPG from Klei Entertainment could see Linux support in future
23 Aug 2017 at 9:25 am UTC

I think I have their whole collection besides Oxygen; as a gamer (a fortiori a linux gamer) Klei is probably my fave developer.

Please consider supporting me on Patreon so I can continue bringing you daily Linux gaming content

it's a bummer you've been getting some bad comments, but that's just gotta be part of the process, I would try to not let it bother you. As some other people have said, I'm just happy to support the work you're doing; in fact I suspect that large silent majority of your supporters (myself included) don't get too worked up about the special stuff you do for them and are just happy to support you and the site (note: if the reader is one of those people that does get excited by VIP treatment, then Liam does a great job doling out all kinds of goodies).

GOG Connect adds more games, plus a huge summer sale now on
7 Jun 2017 at 6:08 am UTC

I love GOG Connect, but it's so frustrating there's no notification service... I don't want to have to check the GOG connect page all the time to see if it's changed. Wish they would just send email when a game you own on steam becomes eligible

edit: that said, I picked up 12 games from this batch of Connect, so I can't rightly complain all that much

Some thoughts on 'World to the West', the standalone followup to Teslagrad
23 May 2017 at 6:27 am UTC

I hit a nasty bug in Teslagrad that wiped my save, so I never finished it, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. I thought that the story in Teslagrad (at least the setup + opening sequence) was minimalist and strong, it's a shame that the sequel's story isn't as good.

I had fun with the game but the performance was horrible on my integrated graphics, maybe I'll check back in and see if it's improved

it's a shame, xenonauts is a great game and I put a lot of time into it

Phoenix Point from the original creator of X-COM is now crowdfunding on Fig

XCOM fans sure have been spoiled the last few years

Project Zomboid has another major update with tons of bugs fixes and new map items
27 Apr 2017 at 8:48 am UTC

I still play it occasionally, but I found playing on public servers was a letdown; everything is looted and the infection is advanced.

A ton of respect for the devs and how active they are, and I know there are bigger changes in the works (the animations update), but it's hard to believe "updated microwave UI" should be the focus over the actual gameplay UI, which is clunky, and tweaking the mechanics (like how you have to nail about a billion windows shut before you get carpentry up, which is important lategame). Great they're squashing bugs though.
