Here's a link to a YouTube video that Juan posted on his Twitter yesterday.
Also worth noting that Rémi Verschelde pointed this out: "@reduzio For the sake of transparency, let's mention that it's an asset from the #Unity3D store - but the rendering is done by Godot gles3!"

Anyone who does game development knows that it's not really important where the asset came from, it doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the renderer.
All I have to say is... Wow! Very nice rendering :)

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

The first thing came to mind was Skyrim. The next thing would be Fallout 4. But, Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas would be very welcome additions as well.
Nearly 4 years later, Steam still won’t close to the tray icon on Linux without workarounds

I'm on Manjaro, mine works properly. :) It must just be an Ubuntu thing?

I finally got around to watching the Steam Dev Days Vulkan talk last night and if I remember correctly both the guy from Croteam and Unity said they have Vulkan outperforming DX11 and they haven't even gotten to some of their optimizations like caching and neither of them have true (Vulkan style?) multithreading. It's outperforming on a single thread. Well, they technically have it mutithreaded, but it's using the DX11/OpenGL way of multithreading, which ultimately the API ends up sending commands on a single thread.
I'm not an AMD guy, but if these drivers keep getting up there I may become one in a year or two since I'd rather give my money to them instead of Nvidia :)
Edit: And Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americanos

I'm not an AMD user, but I think this would be awesome for those who are! :)
Check out the new trailer for 'Tether', the great looking adventure and horror game built with UE4

Quoting: FUltraI agree, if the title of the video was "SOMA gameplay trailer" I would have probably just assumed that I didn't remember that part of the game or that it was a part that got cut.Quoting: ziabiceAnyone getting System Shock vibes?Reminds me more of SOMA, but then the trailer does not show that much.

Levi/Tak, I didn't forget about you. Thanks to the both of you for your hard work. If you want to be more easily remembered, all you have to do is dye your hair bright pink. :D

Quoting: MaCroX95I'm not really familiar with SDL, does this mean that games will be able to run in independent window manager regards of which one system uses (x11, wayland, mir)? If that is the case this is some great news!Exactly! :) SDL takes care of the display server stuff for you.
The Steam 2016 Halloween sale has some nice Linux games for cheap

Quoting: morbiusExpected Life is Strange to be on sale, disappointed that it isn't. No other game I want is on significant sale either. I should really pick up Metro Redux games, but I won't be able to play them before I buy a new computer anyway, so there is no rush.I've played both Metro games and Life is Strange. If your hardware isn't good enough for the Metro games, it definitely isn't good enough for Life is Strange. Both Metro Redux games performed very well on my GTX 860M, but Life is Strange I had to turn all of the settings to low in order to play it at a decent framerate. Hope that helps :)
