Lingotopia, a language learning game about being lost in a city is fully funded, has a demo

I'm thinking the game still needs a few tweaks.

There's been a playable version on Itch.io for a while, and runs great on Linux. But maybe they've got a new version up?

My biggest criticism of the build I played is that it's okay for learning some vocabulary, but there's not much in place (yet?) for verbs and figuring out the grammar that puts the words together. Hopefully that'll be added at some point with NPCs offering more complex dialogue as you "level up".

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

I'd love to see Subnautica ported. It's already on Mac so it shouldn't be all that tough. Maybe The Forest too, although it's got issues to work out even on Windows.

Skyrim, OF COURSE. I mean c'mon, you know me.

The remaster for Dark Souls would go down nice, especially since they seem to be aiming at every other platform out there.

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: UltraVioletWouldn’t be better to have all the games in all the sections?
Thaumistry in Best Audio?
Rocket League in best FOSS project?
Cheeseness in Best Game?

No, seriously: some games qualify among the best in some categories, others don:t. That's what the nomination phase was good for.
I would totally play competitive Cheeseness.

Should Hellpoint be on the "most anticipated for 2018" list when the release date is early 2019?

Quoting: ShmerlFor best audio I voted for Owlboy. Though otherwise I would have voted for West of Loathing. It has a great soundtrack and came out on GOG for Linux in 2017.
That's the thing, West of Loathing and Pyre both have outstanding music in their own ways, but the sound design of The Long Dark is critical to establishing the atmosphere and succeeds to a huge degree. So how do you make that choice between effective environmental work and good music? Sure they're both audio, but otherwise they're entirely different concepts.

Does "Best Audio" mean "Best Soundtrack" or "Best Sound Engineering". Those are sort of apples and oranges in their way.

Hm. Seems like the sort of thing that would be a better fit at Itch.io than Steam, where it's likely to quickly get lost.
