Quoting: sbolokanov@tuubi @scaine We are only guessing here.
I know. That's why I said "unless they tell us, we can only guess" in the reply you quoted earlier. :wink:

Quoting: scaineTrue, but Feral are only the developer here. The publishers of the games they port will be the ones to decide what kind of DRM is in place. I'm honestly surprised that Feral managed to get Denuvo removed on the titles they ported. That was great to see.
Feral acts as both the developer and the publisher for their ports. Check the Steam store page for any of their games and you'll see them listed alongside the original publisher. That's why I mentioned Steam's ability to have different publishers for different target platforms as a possible reason they stick to Steam.

Quoting: scaineHonestly, it's weird that you painted in them in that light? Do you have history against them, some minor grudge?
But it’s strange that you never read about Feral love for DRM, it seems to be common knowledge in most Linux-centric gaming communities.
It might just be conjecture based on the fact that they never sold their games outside of Steam. DRM might be a reason, but other plausible ones are publishing agreements with the IP owners, Steam being able to account for different publishers for different target platforms, and Steam reaching the largest audience by far.

Unless they tell us, we can only guess. But it does suck for those Linux gamers who avoid Steam. You might not be interested in the games, but I bought and enjoyed several of them.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80They have also added Mad Max which at one point had a native linux version not sure if there is a pengiun verson on gog though and its been delisted on steam
Windows only according to the store page. Too bad. I enjoyed Feral's Linux port, but I don't think any of their stuff has ever been available on GOG.

Quoting: tuubiTimed hot-spots sound annoying. Like quick-time events you need to chase around the screen. But maybe they're not as bad as they sound? If they are, they'll definitely ruin the fun for me.

Looks great otherwise.
I believe there was an option to turn the timed part of it off.
Good to know. Thanks.

Enjoyed the first part. This looks like more of the same, but I'm fine with that.

Analgesic Productions (Anodyne) announce Sephonie, a story-driven 3D parkour platformer
17 Mar 2021 at 4:47 pm UTC

Looks like this could be a good 3D platformer, even if the word "parkour" made me expect something slightly different.

I haven't actually played any of their previous stuff. Anodyne 2 looks really fun and it's been on my wishlist since I first saw it mentioned here on GOL. But I guess All Our Asias is free if I wanted to get a feel for their style of storytelling.

Quoting: STiATWhen they talk about vulkan rendering fixes, has this any impact on VKD3D/D9VK or is this their Vulkan implementation they are talking about?
The Wine release notes wouldn't list fixes to third-party software, so yeah, they're talking about WineD3D.

Quoting: dpanterIf you're referring to the Pink Floyd album, "obscure" ain't the word you're looking for. It's one of the most well known and most highly regarded albums of all times. :wub:
Yeah the album is anything but obscure, but he probably thought his Roger Waters quote was a bit less well known. In any case, it brightened my workday, reading his comment with "Time" playing in the background.
