The brand new OpenGL engine 'NXT' for RuneScape releases April 18th

Quoting: GuestCool, I hope it will work on most linux distros and not only Ubuntu with pulseaudio. If I can play it on Gentoo I’ll certainly try it.
Well, I can understand why many developers prefer pulse over alsa. Alsa is a mess :D.

The brand new OpenGL engine 'NXT' for RuneScape releases April 18th

Read that yesterday too ... was excited about it. 18th April will be the day where I try Runescape again. I would like a (for me) new playable MMO, and Runescape seems like a game which I could like.

Albion isn't for my taste, and SotA is heading a direction I don't like, so it won't probably be for me either (I kickstarted it, so I'll try it again after release).

If more people want to try it here: How about a GoL guild to level together? :D.

Quoting: HamishJust as long as the bugs from the original beta ports do not re-manifest themselves here. ;)

I wonder how long this will take to reach the AUR.
Some issues were already fixed, mostly with menu, tooltips, compute and sound (which was a major pain for me in the betas which were available). Even some network code was fixed (as the error when levels finished).

The difference is: everything we stumble across now, we can fix :-).

The Witness may one day see a Linux port, for fun or for ideological purposes

Well, even if based on sales of Ubuntu Software Center (which seriously I think nobody ever used), and I think that Steam has a lot of more to offer, Steam has it's own issue: A huge load of smaller/indie games, which makes it hard to stand out for the developers so they actually get people to buy their game. New releases get pushed down pretty fast, so the effect of releasing a game being a few days on-top of new releases is pretty limited.

I've noticed this myself, looking over the lists once a week, I sometimes found some funny games which I completely missed out in the first place. And I guess I'm one of the few really doing that.

Hmh, I bought the game, but didn't get around playing it too much. I liked what I saw so far. Ye, it could have been better - could have been a lot worse too. Though, never bringing it into connection with D&D it would probably have had a completely different reception.

It's sad seeing them closing the doors. I wish all of them good luck finding a new job.

I like the 1st April Joke. Gaming on Windows 10. Very funny :D

Banished Linux port is pretty much complete, OpenGL performing well

So much looking forward to this. Just didn't push the buy button because it was not released yet. I played it on a friends PC at a LAN party, and I now am very positive this guy will bring us a linux version. Very thankful for that. It is a really cool game.

I am surprised such a contract is even legal!
Actually, here in Austria this is not legal. Clauses like this in contracts can be ignored, they won't stand any curt or judge.

ScummVM adds support for Myst in their daily builds

Cool! Never finished Myst, maybe that will be my chance.

Looks like Shadow of Mordor has bad graphical bugs with Nvidia 364.12
29 Mar 2016 at 8:49 am UTC

Will check that today. Looks cool, and I have 364.12 driver installed at the moment.

We'll see if it will be fixed. If it's an application bug, I'm pretty sure Feral will act. At the moment, it runs perfectly fine on the majority of machines. Well, except for SteamOS and Archlinux which seem to be the only distributions shipping the new drivers :D.
