Sounds like a BioShock to me

I follow this occasionally.

It looks like its from the golden age of gaming. One mans vision crafted carefully into what may develop into an amazing game thats super fun.

My vision is for it to be a sortof MechWarrior meets StarCraft meets GNOME game but well see.

The Textures looked artifacted at first glance but now on closer inspection i see the high res.

@const -- how does a steamlink get bricked? Was the wrong DC brick used on it? That's a first I've heard, I wonder what the warranty is on them.

I predicted that AMD APU's would make market entry affordable and possible witj MESA being in such good shape.

I hope to see a 2018 APU with top notch integrated graphics when it comes.

This could be a big deal. I would be willing to buy in if the specs are right and can do the majority of our games.

Atari is a name that could sell SteamBoxes or Linux Gaming like no one else.

This game looks AMAZING.

It feels very retro and reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D

@charliebrownau -- I suspect that the latest mesa will perform the best. I get good enough frames on RX 480 to tackle anything at 1080p / 60hz.

You'll need the latest xorg-amdgpu driver and mesa driver. It also doesn't hurt to use the amd-staging kernel. In my experience Arch has been the best. If you have a spare drive and some time to give it a check I would download Manjaro and the related packages and give it a ago to confirm or deny this.

Wont fix the bad level design.

By 90s gaming standards Super Metroid level design still ranks way higher.

I mean maybe some people are okay with running rediculously far across the map and the bad spacing of the saves.

Also Im not a fan of the map only being updated on save or buying map pieces just to give money a purpose.

The important thing to take away from this is that a major statistic site is giving added weight to our significance. No sense in nit-picking the technological mechanisms and merits of their authenticity as if we were all scientists and engineers.

An official source is saying that Windows and Mac are having a user decline. My opinion is that they are doing things unpopular enough to cause a user-decline which will lead to more (1) Linux Users (2) Linux Developers and (3) Better Software Improvements (4) Larger Market Cash Pool to Buy Things, etc...

This is how a snowball starts. ( The snowball technically started when Ballmer created Windows 8 and stopped respecting their users and then was denounced by Unreal Developers and Gabe Newell )

The snowball is rolled up 3,500 games and tons of software patches and fixes and upgrades across Linux. I suspect the snowball will continue to gain momentum and we'll see a healthy increase in these areas.

Thats okay, they will suffer the loss.

Theres no defining characteristics to them now so they will become irrelevant and loose lots of money.

Poor decision making not taking into account behavioral pshycology on spending and developing cult loyal followers like they could have had.
