The developer of 'Inner Voices' will seriously consider a Linux version with enough interest
15 May 2017 at 9:00 am UTC

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: DamonLinuxPLMaybe this developer (one of few) collect Linux request and in next he asking about permission his boss or ask about this game publisher.
But that's the whole trick.
You said this like you had some secret source of inormation unavailable to me. Where do you know that from?

Quoting: EhvisThey won't ever get enough responses in those threads for a "boss" or "publisher" to even consider it.
The maybe, interest is low. And not many copies would be sold.

I like very much what I'm seeing, but then, I read "rogue-like"... :-/
May I have Amnesia-like instead?!?

Valve have changed how gifting games works

Quoting: PixelPiIt's still possible to buy gifts and store them in inventory, if you are using the bic pictures mode.

But then the gift is in your inventory and you can't do anything with it. :)
You cannot gift them away?!? Sounds like a bug...?

Quoting: calfretLiam,

Can we get a permanent link at the top of GoL for this site? I had to dig thru the articles to remember the name for it.
Th last news is from a week ago and the top line of the site reads "PSA: We are winding operations down to focus on GamingOnLinux. This site was a fun idea, but time is short and GamingOnLinux is more important."...

Quoting: DMGGame support said that it is driver fault and I need to wait till they optimize it. And how can I know, is it driver fault or game developer?
Most times, you just can't...

Quoting: g000hIt's not cheating the system. It is a Linux gamer who paid out the cash for the game.
... but it's supposed to be played on Windows.
If there was no Windows version, the gifting wouldn't happen.

Quoting: FutureSutureThis basically means that I can no longer gift games to friends who use Windows.
To be honest, it's one way less for us to cheat the system. :)

This looked like an overly shameless plug to me at first, but I see the video is very relevant to my question.
Thanks for sharing!

The latest HITMAN Elusive Target is now live on Linux
5 May 2017 at 5:48 pm UTC

Let me abuse this occasion to ask something...

I started to play some Hitman last weekend, and I still wonder how I would enjoy it. I played the first training mission doing most of the tasks. But hey, it's not hard to place explosives at a place you know your target will be going to - because he went there every single time you already tried the mission! It feels so unrealistic, so unsatisfying.

Then I tried the last exam, and there are these "occasions" (or whatever they are called in the English). When enabling occasion display fully, I feel I'm just icon hunting. Having enabled them minimally, I didn't find the airplane hold to manipulate. Disabling them fully I guess I wouldn't find out the complex ways to kill a target.

So, what are you doing? How are you playing and enjoying Hitman? (The normal game, not the elusive targets.)
