Bring a garden back to life in the upcoming The Garden Path

Sounds a bit like Haven Park, another demo I liked. I guess they're both inspired by Animal Crossing? Never did play that one.

Should we start some sort of betting pool on who is going to sponsor Blender next? Autodesk? The NRA? NAMBLA?

Quoting: denyasisI've always thought of SCUMM as for the adventure games. It makes me wonder what underlying engine Crusader used?

Sounds like it was based on the Ultima 8 engine.

Dark mysterious metroidvania Crowsworn is live on Kickstarter and flew past the goal

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere are a lot of games where the protagonist has amnesia, aren't there? I guess it's a good gimmick for games because it gives you a reason why you're involved and yet have no idea what's going on and have to find out.

Funny you should mention that. The last two games I've played have used it. Either outright amnesia or some sort of "recover memory" ploy. Tried and true?

Quoting: BielFPs~~Finally~~ Very Nice, now we just need the main distros Debian / Ubuntu lts / Fedora / Arch to default to Wayland sessions, and we are good to go :)

Actually, for Debian this happened with the Buster release [External Link], back in 2019.

X3: Farnham's Legacy now available for Linux with Linux fixes for other games live

Quoting: GrifterIs there a painless way to play X2? I tried launching the old LGP demo of X2 but that only segfaulted, so I picked up X2 on steam when it was super cheap but steamplaying X2 resulted in missing audio

Depends on your definition of painless. Looks like Proton-6.10-GE-1 is reported to be working:

Absolute Drift from the art of rally devs arrives on GOG and free for 48 hours

...and we're back for the 21st edition of the daily refresh of my GOG library.

That's F5 being pressed and the TCP packets are a go! We have SYN, we have SYN/ACK, final ACK! HTTP GETs are being made, POSTs are happening! HTML is getting ready to rumble! Here comes the JavaScript, it's running running running.... and CSS is rendering!

The results are in! We have a Windows version, no surprise there! We have a Mac port, getting close now, the audience is holding its breath... do we have a Linux port..? We do not! Repeat, we do not have a Linux port! The Linux port is nowhere close to the finish line!

Join us again tomorrow for another exciting round of what the hell is going wrong with Linux ports on GOG?
