...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.

Guess I'm in, at least on the lowest tier.

I wonder if they're planning any voiceovers voice acting? The demo is silent and there's nothing I can find on the campaign page.

Quoting: AnzaBut luckily there actually is Linux demo, so no need to buy the game blindly.

Oh demo! Fantastic!

I've always wanted to try the whole dating thing. Starting with monsters does seem less intimidating.

This release also brings in an animated background

This is the most fascinating one for me! Thanks Red Hat & Fedora team!

Is this fromm Gnome 3.38? or does another package handle the animated background, am curiousabout doing this on my install.

Uhm.. GNOME have shipped with that feature for years. I'm guessing this is just Fedora shipping with one of them as the default for the first time?

Check the backgrounds in GNOME settings. The ones with a little clock in the corner changes.

Edit: This feature shipped in GNOME 3.4 [External Link], way back in 2012.
