@rustybroomhandle: run.sh always launches the x86 version for me, despite uname -m returning x86_64. This seems to be due to bash syntax in the script, despite the #!/bin/sh.

Also, looking at the volume sliders, I assume there's supposed to be audio of some sort? I hear nothing at all. No audio errors in the log, just "AudioManager: Using PulseAudio: Default Output Device".

EDIT: Audio works fine. No idea what happened.

Quoting: LeopardI just failed OpenGl dependency.But i cannot see anything about sys reqs at this game's page.

Your Intel Ironlake GPU is so old it isn't likely to support OpenGL 3.2. You should be okay with -force-opengl on the command line, assuming the game wasn't built on the new Unity 5.5.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThanks all. "Earn living from free games" is the worst business plan though. But whatever - never said I was smart. :P

I think it could work if you don't get too ambitious. Keep the releases nice, short and regular. Build up a buffer of material if possible to give yourself some breathing room. Be absurdly patient. Pretty much the same advice people seem to give aspiring webcomic artists.

But don't take my word for it. As the sad state of my wallet attests, I'm not smart either when it comes to making money.

I hope this works out for you, rusty.

Quoting: TheReaperUKOh and why does Manjaro Linux think i have 8 Cores on the I7-6700?

That's Hyperthreading for you. SeeK explained it all in his post.

Really pretty, but all the randomness doesn't sound that appealing. AFAIK random dungeons are a rarity in those console greats they claim to be inspired by. Maybe it's all in the battles then.

Quoting: slaapliedjeFor the love of the universe and all that is nature STOP with the goddamn "stylized" logos. This flat design is terrible! The icons on the stock Atari ST were terrible in 1985, and they are better than this new "stylized" crap.

An effective logo for a brand is always relatively simple, and should work and be recognizable without color and in different sizes. Icons have similar requirements, but not every icon needs to work as a logo. Personally I prefer simple, symbolic icons in my system tray, simply because they're tiny and need to be easy to parse, but those 96px game launchers on my gaming desktop can be as colourful and detailed as they like.

In the end all art is subject to individual taste. It's hard to please everyone. Ask any artist.

It's a cool design and all, but sitting on that sharp wedge can not be comfortable. Seriously, seeing this logo at larger sizes always makes me clench involuntarily. Why do you make me worry about Tux's butt?

Quoting: GuestI played Saints Row IV to the end a few months ago and had no issue with it that I can remember. And it wasn’t hard to configure it to reach 60 FPS with good graphics (on a Core i5 / GTX 660).

The original Windows port isn't great though, and this is even more evident on Linux. Sure it looks fine and runs okay on my i7 + GTX 960, but I pretty much need to give up on AA and post-processing effects to get rid of occasional fps drops and minor visual glitches. Plenty of fun for a few euros anyway. More pros than cons in my book.

Quoting: kellerkindtMad Max gave me a lot of unexpected good playing hours, so I can really recommend it.

Shadow of Mordor was a bit of a disappointment, I really hope Max is a bit more fun.
