Quoting: razing32Hmmm
A bit pricey.
49 Euro is almost a new game.
Has anyone used it before ?
Is it really worth the asking price ?

It's a development tool! Good tools tend(ed) to cost hundreds if not thousands of bucks! (I know that's not the case anymore for game engines and such, but man, how cheap can you go?!?)

Quoting: riidomThen they have different prices shown in the wiki ( https://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/Visionaire_Studio_Licenses [External Link] ) and the shop ( https://www.visionaire-studio.net/shop/ [External Link] ) with kinda huge differences (Indie Multi €79 vs €99, mobile license €125 vs €490, pro €500 vs €1490).

Looks like Wiki is outdated - some of the links there are as well. You might drop them a mail so they can fix it.

I'm not sure how many people will use the editor, but as an adventure player I'm sure happy seeing such Linux dedication from them.

Do a "locate" on the missing library. AFAIR, it is contained the Steam runtime. (If you don't have locate installed, install it and run updatedb before doing the locate. It's a useful tool.)

Later this month, Kentucky Route Zero will finally be a finished story, seven years after the release of the first part.

... and over three and a half after the last (fourth) one. :O

Looking forward to buying and playing!

Quoting: BielFPsUsually I would agree with you, but games usually require fresh updates (specially with graphic drivers),and while I think Debian is a great distro (since I use at work) they have the habit of not update anything that's not a security issue (even minor bugs/glitches) until a major release, and this is bad for our case as we may have some minor performance issue in some specific game with some specific card and drive version, that need a specific fix in the newest drivers release, etc.

Sure they can backport those packages if necessary, but I think mixing old packages with new packages can be more problematic than just downgrade a faulty package if needed.

For Nvidia, I can assure its not a problem, I even use experimental every now and then. The driver is so seperated from the rest of the system you can just drop in the other version. Kernels usually get backported, and I think that's also the case for Mesa?

If you want something more rolling, you could still use Debian testing. With all the quality assurance needed for something like SteamOS though, I'd probably stick with something stable with very selected updates.

Quoting: 14I did not know there was a safe mode. Now, I'm curious. I'll look into this with SOMA. I do not like horror or creepy games.

I don't know what it does. I think beast is still there, but cannot kill you or something. It still will be creepy, but... there's stuff to be seen, decisions to be made, and the ending...!

Quoting: Liam DaweFrictional is a small privately owned indie company from Sweden, with only a few staff. Just because the quality of a recent game or two has been quite high, doesn't make them not indie.

Wow, Wikipedia mentions 16 employees.
Amazing what they are doing!

Quoting: EikeIf EA develops and publishes a 100M$ production, is it indie?

Well, if it did, it would be a very high production value Indie. That's where the name comes from, isn't it? "Independent".

However EA usually uses its main brand (EA) as a publisher and its various sub-brands/studios (Bioware, Respawn Entertainment, DICE, etc.) as developers, so their games aren't "indiependent".

So, would you call it "indie" or would you not?

I sure wouldn't...
