Quoting: lucifertdarkThe bits I've seen look amazing & could probably be made into separate games in their own right, but I couldn't justify spending that much on a single game however good it is.

25 years ago, Monkey Island costed about 100 Deutsche Mark, translating to 50 Euros, inflation corrected to today about 75 Euros. Computer games got very, very much more complicated - and surprisingly cheap. (Of course, none of this is increasing your budget.)

Quoting: lucifertdarkSomeone I know out in the real world has spent £600+ on it, I almost feel sorry for them.

It's a really strange hype.

But beyond hype and hate, they are planning very ambitious stuff - and they actually started delivering.
I'm very curious where they will get.

Quoting: gojulWell, as Star Citizen is most likely the next Duke Nukem Forever I cannot be happy with this...

As Windows users can already play parts of it, it's quite different from Duke Nukem Forever.

This news is great in both ways, Vulkan only usage and Linux support. I thought they would have quietly given up on Linux years ago.

Quoting: HadBabitsMy first elusive target attempt was a success :) I was nervous since I'm used to having the god of saves to resurrect me

This is what's making it sound really exciting. How long will they provide new special missions like this? Should I get Hitman soon? :)

Work on it isn't complete though, as following some other discussions on the Mesa-dev mailing list there's still a bunch of 'piglit tests' it causes crashes with. Those will gradually get cleaned up over time.

As I never heard of it, I looked it up.
It's a framework for automatic OpenGL tests:

Quoting: GuestMaybe you had some savegame that i can use? Or you didnt completed so much?

Sorry for the late answer: I didn't get there, and not even discovered the areas south of "Deep Friah". I guess the save game won't help you much. Do you want it anyway?

Quoting: KelsCan't wait to see people ragequit over the motorcycle fight again!

I don't know anything about the game, but a remastered edition might fix stuff that would make people ragequit. Like the director’s cut of Broken Sword improved the goat puzzle...

Cheeseness, do you happen to know anything about the port of this game? :)

Although I'm a big adventure fan, I missed this one back then, so it will actually be the first time I buy it. :)

Quoting: ShmerlI noticed, still it doesn't explain the origin of the term :)

Ah, ok, I thought you might have met the term for the first time.
It might make a bit of sense when thinking of it like a company hiring someone to not only tell them how they solve a problem, but actually helping them doing it.
But I'm also not a friend of the term. My wife read a job offer to me about an "IT cosultant" and asked me if that would match what I'm doing, and I could only tell her "I dont know." It's so unspecific...
