Quoting: Guest....aaaaaand I think I know what I'll be playing around with tonight. Good to see an update, and I'm incredibly curious about how well Unreal Engine with Vulkan will work on my Kaveri.
(I don't keep games installed if I'm not playing them, so I don't really see notifications about game updates unless they're posted here.)
And that's why I've got so much of my library installed, to keep everyone up to date :P
Thanks for taking one for the team!!

The ruthless in-development roguelike 'Jupiter Hell' is now on itch.io, fresh update out too

Quoting: TcheyIt's 40€ the beta !?

I know some devs want "real testers" and not just "players", and they set a higher price as a filter, but i find this stupid. I can be unable to afford this price for a game, and still be a good tester.

Also, as an early version, it has less content, and more bugs. I much prefer the opposite way : start low, and rise price with major milestones. Many games did that with success, example going from 2€ for the very first curious, to 20€ to the final release.

Unless i've missed something.
From the itch.io page:
This release is BETA - PRE-EARLY ACCESS! The price is high to be fair to Kickstarter backers that backed the project early. The game WILL BE CHEAPER on Early Access release (June 2019). We suggest you do not buy now unless you want to help us out with beta development - financially or by providing feedback!
They don't expect anyone to buy it at $40. They explicitly warn you not to.

Looks great! Thanks for the tip - I picked it up today!

Boy, February's bundle sucked for a Linux gamer. I knew I should have paused it when there was no Linux games in the early unlocks. FOMO gets me again.

March looks better already with Cultist Simulator, which is on my wishlist.

The RPG 'Tower of Time' had a massive update adding in entirely new ways to play

I really like developers who actually support their game post-release. If I didn't already own the game, this update would probably have made me buy it.

Talking point: What are you playing this weekend?

I'm playing Real Life this weekend. One kids hockey Saturday, other kids birthday party Sunday.

I might try and sneak some Helium Rain in somewhere though.

Quoting: hatniXFor those who don't have Tyranny and/or Shadow Tactics yet. The highest tier of this bundle is worth it for each of the two games alone. Same for Pillars Of The Earth and This War Of Mine. All in all a fine bundle. :)
Indeed. Very nice. Shame that I already owned those 4 specific titles, eh.
Ditto. Shadow Tactics is a really, really good game. I've also enjoyed Tyranny quite a bit.

ATOM RPG, the Fallout-like game now has a full tutorial starting area and more

The Kickstarter campaign promised DRM-Free (I didn't back it though). I'm still waiting for that before picking this up.

Gravel, the 'ultimate off-road experience' is now officially supported on Linux

Just like MXGP3 - that's a bit too pricey for me to gamble on the performance.

Someday maybe - I'd really like to play both of these games, but right now I've only got a Ryzen 2500U based computer.
