Nirvana Pilot Yume mixes a 'steamy' visual novel with racing and it's now on Linux

The dialog screens look god awful but the gameplay looks fun, if I was them I would reboot the trailer and try to not have static dialog screens.

Honestly I think that constitutes a pacing problem -- going from fast paced action to 100% deadstop is a conflict of styles.

Fantasy Farming: Orange Season, a farm-life RPG recently added Linux support

The game music makes me want to die. I am curious if there is room in the market for 2 SNES style farming games -- SDV is the most perfect I have seen it since Harvest Moon on SNES.

This is almost my cup of tea -- maybe I'll give it a go.

I feel like I need something refreshing to play, I have a unquenchable thirstm hopefully Feral has some atypical ports up their sleeve.

Development on the new System Shock has been paused

Even if they fail to ahear to a strict timeline I think they need to specify a schedule including "how long this break" will last.

1. Taking a break [1-2 weeks]

1a. Reassess development efforts, complete core product first or "Release In Chapters"

1b. Reassess waste and minimize.

2. Restart development with new Roadmap, Priorities

3. Expanding on the main vision is okay once the hard shit is done, everyone wants to work on the "cool" and "exciting" features and new things, but sometimes you have to grind your ass off developing and doing the hard work on the parts you don't want to do.

It's a fact of almost any job, you gotta grind when you don't want to on things you're not especially excited about.

A little bit of self-discipline will bypass a future of regret.

If I was them I would also look into how other small studios function and the kind of stress and problems that are typical aswell as how they cope with stress and deadlines.

Take with a wheelbarrow of salt.

IIUC a lot of staging was mainlined suchas CMST around 3.0.

wine staging maintainer is AFK for a while now and someone else was looking to step in to do his job.

Last wine staging was 2.2X.

I wonder if Wine Staging is still a thing.

Looking foreward, I wonder if System Shock fix related to 4 player coop lan.

Can you hear that? It's the Steam sales train and it's arrived, also Steam Wishlist revamp

The unexpectedness of this event just gave me a flash back to Fuck You It's January.

Since the game has a VR version I wonder if the Linux Vulkan version is getting ship shape for VR.

Looking forward to some Twitch Streams of this and some play. Glad Feral is pumping things through the pipeline I want to buy.

If anyone gets a hand on one can you do a FPS benchmark video on DOTA or some other common game?

It's sold out, I'm not surprised.
