Quoting: Eike

Quoting: GuestThat would need (very roughly) 50 people working together full time for 3 years. This will not happen as a hobby project.

How about 500 working in spare time?

Keep 500 spare-time (but professional level) artists and coders motivated and focused on a single creative goal for the duration of a major project and I shall bestow upon you the title of supreme cat herder.

There are no technical roadblocks but many social ones.

Thanks for this very comprehensive review Samsai.

Quoting: buenaventuraI liked Undertale alot, it was really funny and moving, and surprising! I just wanted to contribute that you can use qjoypad (available in ubuntu repos, and probably elsewhere) to map the keyboard buttons to your gamepad (works with my SNES-like one). Useful software!

Antimicro is another popular choice for this task and the one I prefer.

Quoting: HoriPlease compare it with Windows. It would be incredibly useful.

Why would it be useful?

Adding all the driver/mesa PPAs at the same time doesn't seem like a safe thing to do. If you did this anyway, you should use ppa-purge to remove all but one of them. I recommend leaving either the ubuntu-x-swat one or padoka's stable PPA.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAnother game in this genre on Steam for Linux is Haven Moon. http://store.steampowered.com/app/493720/ [External Link]

Oh nice, thanks! I don't think I've ever heard of that one before.

I love games like this. Too bad there are so few of them.

I'm still eagerly waiting (and hoping) for Obduction on Linux, but it seems they're still focused on VR at this point.

Quoting: UltraVioleton Mint 17 everything was fine, now on Mint 18 i get the 'bootstrap' error when trying to load up Steam because its looking for the proprietary drivers and Mint 18 doesn't have them. i realize its just a matter of removing some legacy code from Steam, but, not being great at this kind of thing last time i tried it i didn't have much luck

If you haven't already, try installing the most recent version of the Steam client directly from http://store.steampowered.com/about/ [External Link] and see if that helps. Just click "Install Steam Now" and install the provided deb package. You should also make sure you have a recent Mesa release installed to get the most out of your gpu. Check out the PPA I linked to earlier.

BTW, Steam itself doesn't look for any particular graphics driver, proprietary or not. The problem must be something else.

Quoting: tuubiIt's big and complicated so of course there'll be bugs and glitches? Developers just love customers like you. :)

Maybe because I am a developer too.

Yeah, me too. That doesn't mean I'd have the gall to tell our customers to accept glaring, user experience spoiling bugs and glitches in our products. But to be fair, ARK is still an unfinished game. I guess someone who pays for Early Access should expect beta quality at best.

Quoting: UltraVioletI guess if I'm using a legacy AMD GPU I have to use the open source drivers on Mint 18 and still can't use Steam ?

The open source AMD drivers won't stop you from running Steam and games, but your legacy GPU might.
