Leadwerks Game Engine Now On Steam For Linux
26 Aug 2014 at 11:00 pm UTC

I'm not a game developer but a few friends are and literally the only reason they chose Unity was that it had A LOT of assets and actions already made for them. It was all about reducing work.

If Leadworks has that, I can see people definitely using it.

Godot seems cool too!

The Steam Controller: Not Everyone Gets It

There needs to be a fix for games that do not include gamepad support. Right now I do that with apps external of Steam, but there should be a way for Steam to handle that. A controller that feels as natural as a mouse to use when, say, Witcher 2, pops up a dialogue choice option and a mouse cursor. Yes, I CAN use my current gamepad but it's clunky and doesn't feel natural, and it's being routed through an external app any way.

I think Valve's design is great. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

The Witcher 2 Gains Yet Another Performance Beta
14 Aug 2014 at 7:31 pm UTC

I have to admit, I've BEEN playing W2 on low settings at 1280x720 since it came out. I have not had an issue, to be honest. But if these updates mean I can play with higher settings, I'm happy! And I really admire the company for listening to and respecting its users.
