Quoting: GoboThe thing that I dislike about this graphical programming approach is that it doesn't scale well. Rather soon you'll hit a complexity that makes it hard to keep track of everything. So I was pleased to see that later on in the trailer they were showing actual code being edited to solve puzzles.

You can freely switch between the two modes.

Quoting: tuubiThat interface looks a lot like Human Resource Machine / 7 Billion Humans, but that's not a bad thing at all.

The game is a bit too much like 7 Billion Humans. Only a few minor differences for good measure as far as I can see.

I'm perfectly fine with more of that goodness. ;)

Bought.

This should be right up my alley.

That interface looks a lot like Human Resource Machine / 7 Billion Humans, but that's not a bad thing at all. I guess whether the game is actually good depends mostly on the level design.

I guess I'll treat the free versions like a demo, give it a quick try and buy it if I like what I see.

Quoting: pete910Vulkan yet ? :whistle:

Not yet:

Quoting: Technical SpecsMulti-API renderer:
DirectX 11
OpenGL 4.5

Apparently Vulkan and DX12 are the main focus for version 3 of the SDK, at least according to their Support Coordinator on the community forums. No idea about when. I couldn't find a roadmap stretching that far. But they are members of the Vulkan advisory board so I'm sure support will be there eventually.

Quoting: scaineAw man, I really wanted to try this - looks like an accessible Hollow Knight. But it doesn't detect my wired Xbox360. I'm gonna give xboxdrv a shot, see if that does the trick.

Weird. My Logitech F310 worked out of the box, what I recorded with!

Yeah, first game I've come across that can't detect a wired 360! It's not working with xboxdrv either. I also tried launching it form big picture - obviously the gamepad is fine in that, but then nothing when I launch the game. I'll check the Steam discussions and see if it's a general thing, a wired 360 thing, or a Linux Mint thing.

My F710 works out of the box on Mint, so I doubt it's a Linux Mint thing.

EDIT: The game/demo itself is a bit awkward. It's beautiful, and the idea is nice enough, but the gameplay is not very satisfying. The "jump and quickly smash the other button twice to move the portal" mechanic was annoying enough, but the bit in the dark with the light shrinking when you move grated on my nerves.

Quoting: stud68Looks interesting.
Soli looks very much like Orco from He-man.

Just add a scarf and remove the legs. :)

Quoting: drlamb~10ms Latency

Plus the jitter buffer I assume? Still only a couple of frames of latency, which isn't awful.

Quoting: Beamboom... But does it really need a second edition? Logitech has had their F710 model for what must be a decade now (if not older? 15 years?), still on the market with no alterations whatsoever. Even the design is untouched, looks a decade old now.

And I still use mine. It's perfect!
I do have Valves too and it's not bad at all. I love the shape of it, sits perfectly in my hands. But when I really want to kick back and enjoy a "console game" session I grab my F710. Two analoge stick is really the combo one needs.

How does it work on Linux? You plug it and it just works or you have to tweak?
Could you make different profiles on Linux for each game?

It usually just works. I've never felt the need to mess with profiles so can't comment on that.

Quoting: sprocketIts a shame that so many of these games are locked behind Steam, with no DRM-free options.

I feel pity for the anti-drm people, instead of focusing on these developers giving their games for nothing so everything goes to the charity, they just focus on their personal taste about how games are distributed and managed.

You arent some sort of "freedom fighters" as you see yourself, but just a vocal minority of people looking just for their own good...

The world is facing something really big right now, your priorities is to have a copy of a game in your hard disk.

Not like we can donate to charities directly, right?

Quoting: The_Aquabatmaybe everything could be anti-EU propaganda .. when big news media predict that the end of the EU is near. something is clearly not working quite right... so I also heard that things have started to pick up some pace.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/31/italy-demands-solidarity-germany-coronavirus-crisis-rifts-deepen/ [External Link]

The Telegraph--a politically very conservative British news outlet--is hardly an unbiased source on the subject of the EU right now. Just providing a bit of context for this "big news media" prediction. :)

The actual article is so light on facts I'd hesitate to call it journalism. It basically just reports what an unnamed bunch of Italian politicians said in an ad they bought in a German newspaper.
