Quoting: hardpenguinI don't think this game has anything new to offer...

An actual story, quests, etc.

Plus, it looks like you can swim in this one :D
There seems to be a lot of new interesting game mechanics, compared to worms. The regular dirt seems pretty low quality, though, judging by the vids.

Thanks for sharing the article. Though not very detailed, it explains a bit more why AMD and intel cards aren't supported, and it seems they don't completely exclude these cards from their development.

Quoting: KeyrockWhat awful timing for me. I wait all this time for a legit racing game on Linux and when it does finally come out I'll already be playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and Fast Racing Neo on my Wii U. Had this come out a month ago, even a week ago, I'd have bought it instantly, but by Dec 10th I'll have way too much on my plate. Oh well, I'll get this sometime next year when it's 75% off.

#FirstWorldProblems

I was waiting for you to pop up on the comments page, since you complained multiple times about this one ;)

Anyway, This looks like a great game, and I might consider upgrading my HumbleBundle participation.

Quoting: BabouchotActually for what's concerning the keyboard, they did not chose this keyboard layout but the "standard" one you are mentioning.
French keyboard layouts "azerty" are for sure really different from "qwerty" and since the developer is French I bet they develop/debug with French keyboard layouts.
This is not an obvious issue for them I think :
having an azerty keyboard I can tell you that I have the same problem on many Linux games (Insurgency for instance) that does not appear on windows (even sometimes with windows games when it is hard coded to use the key value and not the key code).
So somebody should report a bug to them, it is probably their input library that is not managing keys the same way as the one they use on windows.

Maybe I should buy it, for once I would not need to remap the keys :)

+1 for this, I was about to write the exact same. So, I will just add a few remarks, for once.
As far as I know, valve's games on Linux are the ONLY ONES I didn't have to remap the keys for. And even then, it's a bit akward to see in the settings "W" for forward, while it is in fact bound to "Z". I had this issue, trying rebinding keys in Half-life before my first Linux playtrough (like I am used to do with other games). Pressing "Z" to see "W" appear; trying again, then typing "W" for "Z", launching the game, only to find that I can only move forward by pressing "W" :)
So, for AZERTY keyboards, the standard keymap would be ZQSD, not WASD. And I guess something else for DVORAK (or BÉPO, or any other) keyboards. So, really, I see this as a non-issue, since the game does allow you to remap keys; the worst games being the ones that offer no rebinding options at all, thus forcing you to remap keys system-wide, with letters not corresponding anymore with letters on them. Oh, and that's when the game actually picks up the systemwide modification... :/
One side effect of this is that I know quite well the QWERTY layout by now (try using grub rescue with a foreign keyboard...) As an indication of what it can be, here is a small subset: ! => / 
,=> m 
:=>. 
;=>, 
°=>_ 
) =>- 
4=>$ 
'=>4
etc.

Now, back on topic. What surprised me about this game is the fact that the developers were advertising SteamOS & Steam Controller support (in Steam store's top right corner). It may very well be the first title to do so.
The game seems interesting, and I would certainly have picked it up if I wasn't too busy to play games now.

Quoting: BeamboomI didn't realize until now that this game in fact offer coop gaming through the storyline! Now that puts it straight on top of my steam wish list!

It also has split-screen coop which is pretty awesome to have on pc.
Combine that with controller support and you have the potential for lots of fun. :D

So, Will splitscreen be available on Linux/SteamOS?

Is this an in-house port? If so, this is promising and shows that they have updated their engine to be cross-platform, since this is one of their latest games.

Hey, this may be a Vulkan compatible title? The new API will probably benefit RTS games a lot.

and more and more developers are becoming increasingly interested in PC gaming outside of Windows.

This usage of "PC" in the press made my day.
Ok, there's only 5 minutes of it remaining, but nonetheless :)

Quoting: MohandevirFor those unfamilliar with Dassault, this is the company behind SolidWorks and Catia, leading CAD softwares.

To me, it's more like the company behind the Mirage & Rafale Fighters, or the nEUROn drone :)

0 A.D. has also made the switch to SDL2, allowing you to alt-tab in and out of the game

This is very much appreciated :)

I am also quite curious about the new pathfinder; last time I tried, it was pretty buggy, especially for boats, or on rough terrain.

Well, if Steam machines (therefore SteamOS) are successful, that will probably solve the chichen-and-egg problem, with developers caring a bit more about bad reviews from SteamOS gamers, thus bringing more quality games to Linux/SteamOS.

This could also of course refrain developers from making a port, too :/

I had an eye on this one. It's a shame that its performance won't reach the windows counterpart.
