Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass has new screenshots and a much bigger world

They weren't. All the audience shots were either staged or taken from stock footage. Some of them were clearly in different rooms. Not sure why they prioritize that over, you know, talking about the games.
They seriously could have given three links to YouTube, and you'd know more about what they're offering.

Quoting: AryvandaarYeah, and camera work in the Devolver conference was super wierd. It almost looked like the audience wasn't there. Super freaky.

Linux game porter Ryan 'Icculus' Gordon is looking for new games to bring to Linux

I think pushing the idea that Gordon should be doing AAA games because that's what Linux needs is really not thinking clearly. That's something a team should be doing, not a soloist. As mentioned already, his work on Rocket League was enough to convince him that it's not a good use of his time or passion, and he is far more effective porting medium and small games. That way he can do a lot without burning out or losing his passion for the work, both of which would likely happen if you saddled him with big AAA projects.
Not to mention, the idea that porting good games that aren't necessarily the kind of stuff Feral ports is a waste really misses how good some of the stuff he works on is, and how appreciated by Linux users who aren't necessarily into big budget flash.
Sure, Linux needs more AAA games. But the right tool for the job, people.

I played the first one a while back, and while mostly the VN and RPG stuff meshed pretty well and it was fun to play, there was a story element toward the end that really soured things for me.
Spoiler, click me
In particular, while the other romances ended up pretty steamy, the only F/F romance route ended without even a kiss. Just a "we'll see once you beat the final mission" and no real follow-up after that. Total buzzkill for me, and my heart wasn't really in finishing after that, although I did.

Oh god yes, and he'd only have to do it once because they all pretty much run the same engine. He'd probably have it all done in an afternoon.

Pity that Devolver was more interested in doing awkward skits at their press conference than showcasing actual games. They didn't even bother to show the trailer for SS4 despite having said they'd give more info beyond those screenshots.

The logic of the eye temple was hard to figure out, and the yellow component was pretty non-intuitive. Nothing really indicated that was possible and I just took it as background like the birds are. But the rest of it was brilliant.

Quoting: no_information_hereQuoting: KelsPan-Pan, an absorbing little puzzle game with a similar aesthetic to Monument Valley, is on sale for 80% off. It's relatively short, but for less than CDN $3 I'd say it's worth the price.I picked this up a couple days ago. It is really fun!

You have to be patient at the start as it doesn't give much info away. However, I thought it was very clever. The only puzzle I didn't like was the tombstones with eyes. The whole thing was very very cute, though.

That's part of what bugs me about Steam's announcement on this. They seem to be treating the hate mongering and racism, which we already know is on Steam and will increase following this policy change, as merely a disagreement between people with differeing tastes. Which seems at best hopefully naive, but more likely an attempt by Steam to avoid criticism by taking no position at all and pretending there's no issue in the first place.
But of course, not taking a position actually is taking the position that "this is all fine by us". Even with the thinnest possible disclaimer of "we aren't saying we agree with the content".

Quoting: tuubiQuoting: BeamboomSpeculative junk. Porn, shovelware, fraud attempts, hate mongering, racism, extremists political and religious agendas, and so forth.Well, some of the stuff you just mentioned is deservedly illegal in most of the civilized world, so it really should be banned. I don't think fraud attempts, hate mongering and racism need a legitimate platform, and neither does extremism of any sort. Porn (with consenting adults) and shovelware are less of a problem IMHO.
And please note, This is content that I do not say should be BANNED - they just do not belong on the main street.

So I guess we're going to see more publishers like the guys who were making "Active Shooter", specializing in buggy, asset-flipped shovelware with names and basic concepts designed to attract outrage (for instance, one game was nominally about Tesla and had the name changed to include "White Power"). Steam kicked them off the service, but I guess it's a viable business model there now.
