Fancy playing Quake with the Vulkan API? Now you can
25 Jul 2016 at 10:04 pm UTC Likes: 1

I can only test it on my Haswell notebook, but it seems the warning
Vulkan Initialization
WARNING: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete
should be taken seriously. :D
At least it quits with
QUAKE ERROR: Couldn't create Vulkan device

Quoting: KristianSo anyone know which source files are supposed to have the Vulkan bits?
Vulkan API naming convention for functions is a "vk" prefix followed by a capital letter.

All source files containing at least one matching function can be listed with

grep -r "vk[A-Z]+*" * | sed -nre "s@(^.*):.*@\1@p" | uniq

Quoting: HoriI've got KRZ in Humble Monthly bundle and I want to know if those episodes are free upgrades or do they need to be bought separately?

I was overly impressed by act I/II and
decided to wait until all acts are released.

Honestly, I simply can't remember the story between tbh.

However, the game I played so far was quite linear IIRC.
It's more an interactive story than an adventure
with riddles like Monkey Island is.
... but extremely well executed and stylish to the bone. :)

Blossom Tales, a beautiful looking 2D Zelda-like action RPG is heading to Linux

I loved "Zelda - A Link to the Past" on the SNES but while this game seems to be more
a rip-off than Zelda-like the visuals don't appeal to me.
I guess it's the overly colourful palette and the cheesy light effects...

I'd be even ok with just 5% IF this includes the AAA games.
I'm not sure many of them are included in the 17% stated.

Kingdom Rush Frontiers coming to Linux after the initial Window launch

I've to agree Kingdom Rush is super fun.
However super hard too - at least for me.

Definitely buying Frontiers when it is released to Linux.

BTW, IIRC they said you can apply for becoming beta testers somewhere on their forums.

This port seems to be top notch, btw.
So far it worked absolutely flawless.

Thanks!

It was just a matter of interest not for sherlock holming a legal issue. ;)
