A reminder about Steam's platform-specific wishlist feature you should be using
22 Feb 2019 at 2:54 pm UTC Likes: 1

I don't think this feature will ever catch on among Linux users. My wishlist of native games is already too long and unmanageable, I don't want to receive emails about releases and sales of Windows games, and I don't want to have to explain to friends and family that they need to check the platform of a game before buying me something from my wishlist. Without 100% adaptation, it's also a mostly useless metric for game developers.

Thanks for the gameplay description, scaine. :) That sounds a lot like the escape room games I played online years ago. I think I'll give the demo a try as well.

Is it a horror game or just dark and atmospheric, like the The Room games?

That's great news! I enjoyed the first one a lot, so I'm happy we'll finally get to experience the sequel. :D

I played the new kitchens with a friend yesterday, and they're very good. Awesome game, and I'm very happy to have it on Linux. <3

Quoting: GuestI hope to see Linux version of DiRT Rally 2.0 soon after it gets released, meanwhile I will play it via Proton!
Consider waiting so that Feral will get a cut of the sale?

EDIT: I'm playing BattleBlock: Theater and Overcooked! 2 online co-op with a friend, and Pikuniku solo. All native games.

Quoting: ShmerlQuite interesting. They list DRM-free download in the Kickstarter campaign. Do they plan to release it on GOG or itch.io?
Here's what they told me on Twitter:
Hey, the drm free version was primarily for those that backed it on Kickstarter, that said we would like to have the game available on GOG if we can manage it.
I wish that so many developers wouldn't view DRM as GOG or bust though, when there are great DRM free alternatives like Itch and GameJolt. Getting on GOG is a crapshoot.

The Humble Double Fine Presents Bundle is out with some nice games

Quoting: LakortaApparently GNOG does have a Linux download (it isn't marked as a Linux game on it's store page). If you try to start the game through Steam it will complain about not finding an .exe file, starting it directly from the installation folder does work. I tried playing it for a minute or so and it seemed to work fine.
According to SteamDB, the Linux depot seems to have been added several months ago, yet I find no news post or discussion thread announcing the Linux version on Steam. I wonder why that is.

If the game starts with a mouse cursor and no actual graphics, a quick fix is to start it with this option:

-show-screen-selector
Thanks! :) I ran into this issue when I tried to play the demo on Itch yesterday.
