Exanima gets vastly improved Linux and Steam Deck support
1 Aug 2022 at 1:17 pm UTC

Quoting: M@GOidIt is stuff you see over the years. Is the case of developers thinking "the bait should be good for the fisherman, not the fish". To me, when you make a game, you should look out of your comfort zone and see what people want.
This will not create anything deserving the name art, though.

Tesla to demo Steam for more in-car gaming soon using Linux & Proton

Quoting: 14I don't see this as a good idea. When are people going to use it?
I could imagine it at the backseat for the children.

Quoting: soulsourceI want to play those fake example games soooo much. Someone really needs to make the Custard Castle: Small Claims Court.
I just wanted to google for "It's probably fine" :sad:

Quoting: basedFrom after Q3 to Q4, I'm happy that I got expected months instead of another 'after'. Nice!
Same here. While on first sight it might look bad, it's basically moving from "We don't know" to "in a few months".

Quoting: basedDeck is why I decided to try Linux gaming again the start of this year and I don't want to use Windows ever again
Welcome aboard, penguin!

Quoting: elmapulhopefully they will be at stores by christmas.
if that happens they might explode in sales.
Even if they put them in stores (which I don't believe, they didn't even do it with the Steam Controller), there's still not the production capacity for an "explosion".

Voodoo Detective is a Monkey Island inspired point-and-click adventure

Quoting: foobrewWishlisted and will definitely be grabbing this one as soon as it's on sale. Seems like it's also in the same vein as Darkside Detective (one of my all-time favs - both versions). Kinda surprised I haven't heard of this one until now.
If you're into point and click (and into Facebook), this group mentions many games [External Link]. Voodo Detective was among it. There's also many developers there, it seems.

I don't like the optics too much, but 71 of 71 reviews positive, in my favorite genre, that's too good to miss.

Total War: Warhammer III cautiously builds upon a tried and true formula

Quoting: slaapliedjeMad Max was so good, I rarely want to go back and play newer games, and even rarer does one capture my attention enough to play through to the end (including the new Tomb Raider games) but Mad Max was awesome. And after they added Vulkan, the performance boost was phenomenal.
I think it was the only Feral port I gave up on after some hours. Felt too tedious for me.

Quoting: GuestThe nice thing for me is that they are still developing for Linux.
Looking forward to more stunning ports from Feral guys.
You ll be waiting a long time they no longer support gaming ports to linux
So time will tell, one can hope!
I'm pessimistic since they didn't port "Tell Me Why", although they did port the predecessors.
Maybe they'll still do Total Wars? (...but that's not my thing.)

When reading about these little changes I envisioned a Feral employee, Linux fan, doing a bit for the penguin lovers in their free time.

Quoting: soulsourceYep, the GameplayEffects framework is pretty powerful and helps structuring the blueprints to avoid ending up with Blueprints from hell [External Link].
Nice, a blueprint for water that itself looks like water. :D
