Ashes 2063, an impressive total conversion for Doom II, has released its first episode
29 Sep 2018 at 7:47 am UTC

Not being used to gzdoom (I prefer Doomsday Engine, but this mod isn't fully compatible), I also struggled a bit. I got it to work this way:

Put doom2 wad into
/home/USER/.config/gzdoom/doom2.wad

Then open terminal and go to the directory where you have extracted the Ashes2063 files and launch this:

/usr/share/gzdoom/gzdoom -file Ashes2063Maps.wad -file Ashes2063Mod.pk3

Not very user friendly but works. Maybe someone could share a working .desktop file?

Edit: this is on Solus Linux with gzdoom 3.5.1. installed through the package manager.

Sword-fighter 'Blade Symphony' is now officially on Linux, free to try for a few days with a big sale (updated!)

Crashes on launch here on Solus Linux...

Edit: with native steam integration enabled it works... but then I need to figure out how to fix my controller with it :(

Seems pretty cool. I am starting to think this "Doom" style will further establish itself as an distinct game graphic style, similar to how there are still 2D "pixel" game being made today.

Works great here (Solus Linux), no issues at all. Very cool game so far.

Edit: thanks for the Seajeff hint... pretty cool songs as well!

Roguelike RPG 'Depth of Extinction' is now out with full Linux support

Easier/cheaper/more realistic to make a game look "good" with these aesthetics to a niche of players than trying to make it full 3D and having it end up looking "bad" to everyone. Game Developer 101.

PlayStation 3 emulator 'RPCS3' is coming along nicely with some major improvements

Anyone has a tip how to configure controllers with this? The popup window is so large on my Laptop (1920x1080 resolution) that I can't actually reach the probably existing "apply/save" buttons at the lower right :(

Distance, the amazing atmospheric racing platformer is now officially out
18 Sep 2018 at 5:31 pm UTC

Anyone else having trouble getting it to run? I had it working previously, but now that I tried it again it just fails to launch (on Solus Linux with the latest Nvidia beta drivers).

Jet-combat game Hyperspace Dogfights has a free content update that's now out

Not quite as easy to get into as Luftrausers, but pretty good never the less. Colors are cool, m'key?

Valve have updated the Beta of Steam Play which fixes VR games, fullscreen improvements and more

With a HTC Vive it might work. Other VR games running through Proton (which has a special VR pass through mode) work apparently. I am seriously considering to get a Vive now because of that.
