Quoting: N4G170The main problem of the engine is the incomplete documentation.

Indeed, the documentation is not the best, but it's easy to learn.
I'm doing a pet project with it and I can confirm it works flawlessly in my kubuntu, and exports to linux and android with a single click. It's an amazing piece of software to make games, and i'm surprised ir doesn't have more visibility.

Quoting: OrkultusI am just worried that they are going to make this engine all filled with DX crap.

Man, dx is not the only problem when facing a multiplatform game. I would even say it's not the hardest. And the engine is already system agnostic as it's ported to ps4. I think they will face more issues regarding ogl drivers than anything related to dx. And Probably they don't invest in linux developers as much as valve does.

Quoting: themainlinerThis guy a f*cking idiot. "And no, actual people out there do not update their drivers. Ever." Oh yes we bloody do. Frequently. I agree Liam, for someone who is supposed to be programming games for Linux this guy is sadly lacking in even the most rudimentary knowledge of PCs and users.
If the guy has nothing to offer in making OpenGL better and contributing to the code then he can stick his opinion where the sun doesn't doesn't shine.

You should revisit your opinion, create an informed one or going trolling somewhere else.
This guy knows more about OpenGL than you will know in your whole life. This guy is a well respected graphics programmer which, more over, is defending opengl, just saying it has its flaws, not necessarily related to opengl itself but how drivers are distributed. This guy doesn't program games, but programs a widely used technology to create them. And probably, this guy knows way better than you, how many users (no mega fancy gamers like you) have their drivers up to date.
At the end, this regular users may want to play games too.
Just for your information, this guy, is the one that has released the glsl optimizer that others praise as a wonderful tool. So, a bit of respect for people that knows what they're talking about. Sorry but can't say the same about your opinion.

Quoting: mikeyzmanIs it just me or does this guy seem totally, completely out of touch with the non linux world? It seems he's spouting off about something he has zero-point-zero knowledge about.

Of course, this guy knows nothing. He's a lead on unity 3D rendering team, with dozens of articles, talks and conferences, with real world data about drivers installation base, but his opinion has no value, because your experience and perhaps the experience of your close circle is different. Great argument.
Guess what? The world is really big, it doesn't end at the tip of your nose.
