Quoting: Guestwow everyone here is a game developing expert and a marketing expert and a legal expert!
I wonder where do you all find the time to play games?
You again? :smile:
Well he's clearly an expert at spotting experts. Maybe he works in HR?

But seriously, I wonder if I'm actually allowed to talk about games with strangers. I'm certainly no gaming expert. An enthusiast at best.

Quoting: Doc AngeloThey really died when IGN bought them.
Huh? I mean, IGN being involved in anything is just generally a bad thing.
But afaik, they are not involved in Humble Bundle, but some other bundle site? I might be wrong, though.
IGN acquired Humble Bundle in 2017.

Yeah I think they might be mixing up their backends.

Dark Envoy is a non-linear sci-fantasy RPG coming in 2022 and it's looking good

I kind of wish there was an option for turn-based combat, like in Arcanum.

The game looks beautiful though.

Metro Exodus for Linux to run better on AMD GPUs soon with a Mesa fix now merged

Quoting: OlliCAnybody knows which Mesa version includes this fix? I am on Fedora an waiting.:whistle:
Maybe 21.1, and 21.2 for sure ! :happy:
According to the discussion in their Gitlab, this fix is supposed to get a backport to the current stable branch as well, but as of now that has not happened. So the answer is, no current release includes this fix.

I actually expected something like this to be announced sooner after they were acquired by IGN.

In case anyone is interested, I just noticed that the latest stable Mesa in Kisak's PPA (21.0.3~kisak3) includes this fix.

Quoting: kaimanWould be playing Mutropolis, if it did run in fullscreen mode. Wonder what the issue is, since all the Daedalic adventures with a native Linux version worked fine, and those were also made with Visionaire.
This is a known bug in certain fairly recent releases of Visionaire. It was fixed a while back, but Mutropolis needs an engine upgrade.
