Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire shows off a new trailer with early gameplay
15 Nov 2017 at 1:55 pm UTC

Quoting: crt0mega
Quoting: tuubiStill playing through the first one with my wife.
Multiplayer Co-op? Or kinda "hotseat"-like? Last time I've checked PoE only supported single player but maybe I've been misinformed.

I used to play point and clicks with my former girlfriend. Just sitting together at the computer and deciding or puzzling together...

Trüberbrook, a beautiful adventure game with Linux support, is on Kickstarter

As others already pointed out, btf GmbH is working for television and at least one of their products is long-running and well known in Germany (and Turkey ;) ). I didn't know the company before (as it's the case with most companies behind the TV formats you see), but they should be professionals with professional equipment and daily jobs that keep them from starving while creating the game. I think they do earn some trust.

Valve has added 11 new currencies to the Steam Store
15 Nov 2017 at 8:22 am UTC

Quoting: knroI got an email from Steam last week saying that I will be paying with Kuwaiti Dinar soon. Does that mean no fees for currency exchange to dollars?

Yes. ...but as it seems, the new prices might not always be better than the exchange price. :-/
(I wonder if average wages in Kuwait are above or below in say the US, though?)

VP's ARMA 3 1.76 beta now out, compatible with Windows for now

Quoting: 14Feel free to look into how they're handling malloc. My system freezes before even half my swap space is used up.

I wouldn't know how to reach that even I wanted to. It's not like malloc would tell you if the space is swapped, or does it?

@BTRE: Thanks for your articles! Sometimes, I find them quite... indie :), but there are surely pearls I would have missed (like this one).

Now that sounds and looks very interesting!
I'm very reluctant to do Kickstarter support for anybody, though.

Feral Interactive continues to contribute to Mesa as one of its developers gets commit privileges

Quoting: STiATThis is certainly a sign that they plan working Vulkan only for Linux ports in future. I like that, because on my hardware the Vulkan ports were better playable, and even with OGL in Mesa moving forward / improving a lot, Vulkan will very likely be our future in gaming.

... and a sign they plan to continue working on Linux games in the first place, I guess!
(Not having F1 2016 ported gave me some fears...)
