So when Shadwen's been released for Linux and patched to work correctly I'll be able to play it. Good to know.

Sunday chat: What have you been playing, and what do you think?

Where Linux games are concerned, I've been playing some Mountain Blade: Warband and Baldur's Gate: EE. Furthermore I've been trying out Final Fantasy XIII and Dark Souls II under Wine.

Stealth game Shadwen from Frozenbyte to launch in May, Linux should be day-1

Welp, guess I'd best quickly inform them that the demo is completely non-functional on my machine, might delay the Linux port by a day or two.

Developer of Banished writes up his thoughts on Linux

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI really don't get what's your problem, guys. I installed really a lot of linux distros on different systems. The installation always worked except for one notebook - the RAM in that one had errors which caused kernel panics. Apart from that a little bit of finetuning was needed in some cases to get wireless working with some nottebooks. But for that case: Why don't you just by hardware which is known to work oob? If I want a windows system, I do buy windows compliant hardware. If I want a linux system I should do the same for linux.

With desktops I never had any problems. Including proprietary drivers for the GPU.
Most people just buy a Windows computer and install Linux on it afterwards, despite people like Tuxedo Computers, Entroware, ThinkPenguin, and ZaReason offering pretty awesome Linux PCs.

Personally I've never had any problems with partitioning, which might be because OpenSUSE uses magic in their partitioner.

Hey Liam, could you add Final Fantasy VIII and Dark Souls to your wishlist? Would be nice to have those two as well.

I'll have to keep that in mind, as I've become nearly unable to work on a single-screen set-up ever since getting my KDE config just right.

Haven't had time to look at it, but my first guess would be a library problem, so LD_LIBRARY might help.

CrossCode, an epic looking 16-bit SNES-style RPG is now on Linux & SteamOS
8 Mar 2016 at 9:58 pm UTC

I spy with my little eye standard tilesets. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just long for the days of Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy VI/Seiken Densetsu 3, when 16-bit sprites were an artform.

New Linux & SteamOS gamer survey for March
1 Mar 2016 at 9:44 pm UTC

I accidentally bought a non-Linux game, it had the Steam logo and I thought it meant SteamOS. But it was on the developer's website, so no.

Oh well, I could ask my money back, but it's an indie studio so I don't care.
