DXVK 0.93 is out, helping out Dark Souls III, Overwatch and a new config option for shader compiling

Grab the Autumn sale discount at give it a go.
The port is announced for 2019.

Yes, I honestly feel sorry for Feral.
And considering Twitter posts by some of their devs,
they're quite worried about Steamplay/Proton. :/
As much as I value Feral's work, having to wait a year or so for a port when a bunch don't get cross-platform online play I completely understand why some won't wait. I hope Feral don't stop, as their work is fantastic but they will need to find a way to get ports out quicker. At least they seem to be announcing sooner now, so that's a good start.
I wonder why it is not a viable option to work with their long term partners (Total War series, Tomb Raider) ahead of release. Let's say when the engine feature level is frozen and implemented. So they can release (almost) day-1?
Is it that the big AAA-devs are afraid of sharing code and content early, with external partners?
I don't know.

if feral confirmed native port

^_^
This is actually my point.
If it feels as native as this one

Quoting: scaineI have an Overwatch launcher in my quick bar now, thanks to Lutris. It feels native. So impressive.

"Also, their artwork for it is absolutely lovely, wouldn't mind an expanded version of this as a background"
True, Valve published bigger version of these artworks, but in fact they are expanded only a little...

Rise of the Tomb Raider -80 % off.
That's a real deal.

To celebrate Half-Life turning 20, Black Mesa released a trailer for Xen

This looks great. And Black Mesa so far was a wonderful experience.
It's a community project. No wonder it takes them that long considering the quality they achieved.

TBH, I was quite upset that Valve did not come up with anything at all for Half Life's 20th anniversary.
Ofc, no one with a sane mind really expected Half-Life 3 or substantial news about it. But something that shows deep respect to the company's roots that started it all. A franchise that so many gamers still consider a milestone in gaming history.

Nothing.

That's just sad.

Developer of 'Bad North', a real-time tactics rogue-lite seems keen about Linux support

This is massively exaggerated and, thus, wrong.
Why would that be the case? Game developers on Steam should focus on ensuring compatibility with distributions that are officially endorsed and supported by Valve. There are only two distros that meet that criterion: SteamOS and Ubuntu. It makes their jobs easier. People running something else should test first on either or both of those two before writing bug reports or writing bad reviews related to technical issues.
I'm all fine if devs are just focusing on SteamOS and Ubuntu.

My point is that telling devs that there are "trillions of bug reports" for different Linux variants is not helping our platform. It's massively exaggerating the problems with different distributions.

The excellent theme park sim 'Parkitect' to leave Early Access November 29th with a campaign mode
13 Nov 2018 at 10:34 am UTC

Campaign mode? <3

I'm sold. Will support it just for this alone.

It hurts so much to see the many great (gameplay wise) sandbox games that don't offer a campaign.
And usually it's not because the devs don't wnat it, but because it's damn hard and expensive.

Feral Interactive have put out the system requirements for Total War: WARHAMMER II, due on Linux this month

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoC'mon Feral, stop wasting the time with this! You should be releasing the episode 1 of Life is Strange 2 right now, because it has Platinum rating when played via Steamplay 3.16-4
I'm sure they're not wasting their time.

There is some truth to your post, though.
And I feel sorry for Feral. :/
