There's a demo out now:
https://jolly-roger-productions.itch.io/littleghost [External Link]

It's only available for Windows 10 for now. We're thinking about building a version for Linux soon.

Edit: Works in Proton, but it's less of a demo and more of proof of concept. You can move around, pick things up, and solve a simple puzzle.

Quoting: TheLinuxPlebIs there going to be any ARM version? I think i saw somewhere that this is x86 only.

Pretty sure PCSX2 is all open source, so in theory just needs a recompile. I don't think it's one of those emulators that are coded in a way they won't even work on 64bit systems.

It was actually only recently ported to 64bit, and porting to ARM or other platforms seems to be a thorny issue: https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/2915 [External Link]

I wonder what it is with billionaires and their affinity for launching things into space [External Link]? Did Scrooge McDuck suffer from the same complex? What will I launch into space when my bank account ticks over nine digits? Serious questions these!

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo all that Deep Link murfle . . . can anybody tell me if that stuff actually means something or if it's just marketing-speak?

I just assumed someone at marketing forgot to take take their dried frog pills?

Still, the line about "unlocking creativity in thin-and-light laptops" is deeply disconcerting. I prefer it if I was the creative one and my laptop stuck to cold calculating logic.

...and nothing on GOG, even though the Windows version have already seen a bump to 1.11.

It has a certain Katamari feel to it, I guess it's the music? "Oh! The same thing! This was the first thing we ever rolled up!"

I actually picked up Monster Prom [External Link]. It's a little bit embarrassing to admit, so let's just keep it a secret between me and you, the daily 500 000 GoL readers*.

I played the demo for the second game in the series and was hooked. The average giggle and/or laugh per minute played is ludicrously high. A warning though, the dialogue is a little bit raunchy, but it doesn't seem to go much further than just dialogue. No naughty bits where shown in the demo, and I expect monsters have some really naughty bits!

Probably best experienced in short bursts, so I will dole it out in small doses when needed, just as I do with my emergency cake supply.

* Just a guesstimate!

Quoting: KristianAre they sure there are no IP issues with this game? They might run into issues regarding either the books or the games...

Or the movie?

Anyhow, it doesn't quite pass the "idiot in a hurry" test. But in the end I guess it's the same situation as with Ion Maiden/Ion Fury. It all depends on how expensive a lawyer the trademark holder have, and how big jerks they are.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'll have a look. Although really what I'm working with is generally files that are already .pdf when I receive them. It really seems like software on Linux for manipulating .pdf files is pretty limited--and of course Adobe never port anything to Linux unless they can do it in a half-assed way that leaves Linux a second-class citizen.

Sorry! Guess I skipped some posts in the beginning of the discussion.

Anyhow, I feel your pain. Lack of a decent PDF editor has been a a sore spot for me too. Quite often I end up decompressing the PDF and editing it for hand in a text editor. That's not exactly a selling point for the whole Linux desktop experience.

I've even thought about creating my own simple editor for the stuff I usually need to do. Like editing metadata, adjusting page numbering or adding a ToC.

But doing a full blown editor, that's a daunting task. I've skimmed the PDF spec, and that thing is a behemoth. I'm surprised we even have good viewers, let alone an editor.
