Quoting: GuestMineClone looks to be a vanilla Minecraft game/mod and will support Minetest 5 in the next release. Currently it's not in the online content list.

QuoteMineClone 2 is a survival sandbox game. Survive, gather, hunt, build, explore, and do much more.
This goal of this project is to create a free clone of Minecraft.

MineClone 2 is on the content list now.

I'll agree with scaine's assessment -- buy it immediately. Not because the price will go up at some point, but because it's that good!

Haven't tried the new update, but definitely looking forward to it once I get my fill of Minetest for a while.

For an explanation of why Minetest has jumped from the 0.4 series to 5.0, this thread explains the thinking behind the new versioning system.

Basically it's a recognition that the core API is stable and has been for some time, and adoption of a more consistent versioning system without the baggage that a "1.0" release (assumption that it's "complete", etc.) generally carries with it.

Oh, is the actual 5.0 out already? Last I looked they were still testing the second release candidate.

Looking forward to returning to Minetest soon then.

Another look at what games are coming to Linux throughout 2019

Quoting: einherjarHmm, to be honest, there is not one title, that is interesting for me.

I'm more or less in the same boat, most of it doesn't really grab me. Zed looks kind of interesting, and We Were Here Together would be good for a couple of streamer friends of mine to play together, but that's mostly it. None of it's going on my wishlist at this point.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGuess I'm going to have to get Backbone when it comes out. Looks interesting, but above all, as a Vancouverite gotta explore dystopian Vancouver!

Don't you just have to go outside for that? I guess this way you can skip that step.

Humble Store has a Square Enix sale with some top Linux games going cheap

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääGood steals. But who does not yet own those!?

Me. I've only got Tomb Raider and the mobile version of Lara Croft GO.

Quoting: AsuSquare! Please put any final fantasy on linux. Preferably FFVII.

I'd be down for VI, IX, the remaster of X, and/or XII. I do know VII runs well with Proton at least.

It was awfully nice of them to single-handedly, and retroactively, invent the pirate adventure genre for us.

I never played the original game, but I do know that the soundtrack for this one is gonna be hot if this is anything to go by:

Kind of curious who's rapping in the trailer though. Can't find anything on them.

Destiny or Fate, a deck-building roguelike with similarities to Slay the Spire has Linux support

You're not kidding about it not being clear. I can't tell what the hell is going on, in terms of gameplay, in most of that trailer. It looks like a confusing mess.

Not to mention, while the art's not bad those are some seriously generic "Fantasy Game Number 23" enemy designs. The monsters, the pretty boy villain dude, the sorceress with her tits practically falling out, the standard-issue buffed up warrior dude, etc. etc. etc. One thing Slay the spire really had going for it was enemies and heroes that stood out from the crowd, but this one really doesn't in that sense.
