Better late then never. Hopefully this will result in some renewed interest in the Postmarket OS port for my x86 Zenfone2 :)

Quoting: MakingItWorkIs this game worth getting into yet?

I think so, plenty of fun to be had already, but don't expect a huge amount to single player content. Still pretty cool to go for some loot raid in a cave with some friends online.

And still nothing about the docking station 🤨

Heh, looks like the Creeper World of the twin-stick shooters. Might pick it up once it has a Linux port.

Quoting: BielFPsValve should also release a new game with deck in mind to show the device qualities, like other "consoles" usually do.

Apparently they are working on such a game called "Citadel".

Unrelated to that, strange that there still aren't any pictures of final docking station for the Steam Deck.

Clearly aimed at ARM based Chrome-books. Not much to see here from a "normal" GNU/Linux gaming perspective.

Quoting: MayeulCSounds like a RTS/FPS hybrid like Natural Selection (first [External Link] or second one [External Link]) or Nuclear Dawn [External Link]?

Probably not (sadly all FPS/RTS hybrids so far have been a commercial failure).

To me it sounds more like trying to bring a Dota2 (and maybe auto-chess) like formula into a FPS game with some additional aspects taken from asymmetric Left4Dead.

If developers target Proton/Wine as a stable API instead of doing strange hacks that only work on specific versions of Windows, then it is better then custom (closed-source) native ports. The GNU/Linux ecosystem is too dynamic and focused on working with constantly maintained open-source software, for the typical close-source game port to work without problems longer then a few months. Sure you can try to work around that with more stable runtime environments like Steam does or package it in containers etc. but at that point you might as well run another compatibility shim like Proton.

What we really need it open-source engines for games, not closed source native ports.

Free money I guess, but very iffy source. But truth to be told Godot is already sponsored by some large gambling companies using it to make slot machines and so on...
