A Fox Tale looks like an absolutely magical platformer with a four legged protagonist

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: elmapul"Solo developer Danny Preet is currently crowdfunding it on Kickstarter, with a goal of £15K and they have until October 1st to hit the goal. "
"solo developer"
"they"

just an small correction ;P
Eh, using the third-person plural pronoun to refer to a single person has literally hundreds of years of precedent in English at this point. I mean, we've already had the second-person singular form get taken over by the plural form, what's one more? :wink:

Interesting-sounding game, though it feels…incongruous that you're running past bio-hazard-marked containers and jumping through death-traps.
Interesting, in portuguese that woud be an mistake so i had no idea that its different in english

"With Linux gaming going to new and different places with the likes of Valve, Collabora, CodeWeavers and more putting resources into making it easier to run Windows-only games the interest has definitely increased in Linux gaming. "

not to mention stadia...
developers have to target linux to target stadia...

ScummVM 2.2.0 is coming soon, developers need help testing

Quoting: Phlebiac
Quoting: elmapulisnt scummVM an dos emulator?
No; perhaps you are thinking of DOSBox. ScummVM is a collection of game engines, usually rewritten from scratch. Its name is derived from the LucasArts game engine SCUMM, used by The Secret of Monkey Island and various other games of that era.
oh, i see, just like FNA!

NVIDIA GeForce NOW adds Chromebook support, so you can run it on Linux too

Quoting: Alm888
Quoting: elmapuli dont know if the developers were going to drop support for linux anyway or proton was the issue.
Agreed, guessing "What Have been if…" is a mug's game.
Quoting: elmapulyes, but we were comparing proton to gfn, not proton to oem windows...
Correct. And that is a downside.
On the plus side, though, GFN provides support for some games that are not (and will likely never be) available trough Proton™, like Fortnite® and all "anticheat" games.
So, overall GFN is net-positive for Linux.
cloud gaming in general has some issues like:
being an perfect DRM (if the game is cloud exclusive)
killing video game preservation (if the game is exclusive to the cloud and the game/service is discontinued)

those are serious issues, but on the flip side, we can find the perfect anti cheat system, without putting backdoors in the players machines.
