Quoting: Guestwhy do they do it on github if they dont post the source code...

Why not? The service provides a rather nice bug tracker. They're not the first company to make use of github for stuff like this.

Quoting: Comandante oardoThose requirements tells me that this release will NOT be a NATIVE Linux port, just a windows wrapped game.

If they tell you that, they are lying. ;)

Feral does "real" ports, but that doesn't automatically mean performance parity.

Quoting: BoldosAlthough it is great to have this game within Linux portfolio too, it is hard to imagine it might - success-wise - stand a chance in front of Star Ruler 2, Stardrive 2 and, mainly, Stellaris...

That doesn't mean it'll be a failure. There's enough room on the market for all of these IMHO, and many fans of the genre will most likely buy more than one of them. Personally I'm happy to wait for final releases and reviews instead of deciding on hyperbole.

Could we keep the islamophobia (and other prejudice) off GOL please? IS does not represent the Islamic faith. It's just a bunch of loonies and brainwashed youngsters using an extreme version of their religion as an excuse for murder and mayhem, just like others have done before in the name of other faiths and ideologies, Christians included.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAwesome thing about Tomb Raider (at least the Windows version) was when you turned on Tesselation (I think that was the option). It makes her hair look all stringy, but then it also made the framerate drop into a beautiful slide show. I wonder if they'll implement it correctly here? I actually have a system that can handle it now :D

They've promised a working implementation of the TressFX thingy. The funny thing is, they're saying that on Linux this AMD technology only works on Nvidia. :whistle:

It probably makes use of compute shaders, as the original effect used DirectCompute. Maybe there's something missing still from the brand new Mesa CS support.

Time Ruiner: The Game? Does Straub get a cut?

But seriously, looks nice. I'm rarely into shooters, but if it's got a nice story and a balanced difficulty curve to go with the pretty visuals, I'm in.

Quoting: TheRiddickWhy is this site so anti AMD? I find that almost no1 mentions performance numbers with AMD cards here? They do have a Vulkan driver out, it works only on Kernel4.2 thought.

So post your performance numbers or ask someone with suitable hardware to post them. Liam runs Nvidia hardware—just like the majority of us—as it generally works best for Linux gaming at this point. That doesn't make this site anti anything. You're reading the wrong blog if you expect wide hardware coverage in every test.

Quoting: WurmphlegmSo then what happens to people who all pledged for physical items?

Kickstarter's not a shop. There are no guarantees of getting what you paid for, physical or digital.

Quoting: Ignis@Storminator16, lawyers are fine but slow. It's not like you can't do both.

Lawyers and lawsuits are also damned expensive. If this guy is telling the truth, of course that Scott character deserves to get sued, but this is real life, not Matlock. You need money to get justice. And lots of time like you said.

Quoting: linuxgamerMaybe use the Feral Logo instead and the word announce, not release.

Maybe read the whole title instead of some words here and there? :D It's not that confusing, honestly.

Resolution is only one part of the performance equation unless you're doing extremely simplistic rendering. Both tests shuffle the same amount of textures and geometry and much of the processing and memory bandwidth requirements are the same, unless Liam changed other settings as well.
