Desura to more clearly label third-party DRM
24 May 2013 at 2:58 pm UTC

Good, I am glad they are taking that small but useful step it's not much to ask after all really now is it to list if a product has DRM.

I have been waiting on this new design for quite some time now since Scott first told me about it, I really hope it works better as Desura's current home page is awful, personally I think their Games Page [External Link] serves as a better home page than their current one.

While we are at it, I hate their comment system with the weird tree view with comments all out of place, I much prefer the standard one after the other.

Tripwire on why Red Orchestra 2 and Rising storm won't come to Linux just yet
24 May 2013 at 10:01 am UTC

Quoting: redstar427I am curious is you bumped your Planetary Annihilation up to Alpha, as it will start in 2 weeks.  Of course, probably Alpha will only be multiplayer because I think the AI won't be done to play against the computer until Beta.
Afraid not, I really wish I could but I'm totally broke so I am afraid GOL won't do much covering until it hits Beta unless some rich patron chucks us $30 to upgrade to the Alpha :P

Little Inferno now out for Linux is seems!

Quoting: s_dAlso DRM-free on the Humble widget [External Link], apparently!
That's what I noted ;)
Little Inferno [External Link] the new game from the designers of World of Goo is now out for Linux if you check your Humble Store pre-order pages for it, it should list Linux.
Hehe.

The game itself is odd, not something I think I will personally spend much time on.

Quoting: AnonymousThey talking UE4, not 3
Tripwire are using UE4 already?
No Tripwire are using UE3, I think Anon was trying to say that Heavy Gear is using UE4 as we are talking about UE3.

Quoting: HamishYou want us to trust you again Epic? Actually pay Ryan Gordon to release his UE3 port. Then maybe we can talk. Sorry, do I sound a little bit jilted? :P
Actually it was Unreal Tournament 3 not Unreal Engine 3 ;). UT3 was totally pants anyway.

Earlier builds of UE3 did not support Linux where as newer builds do, Tripwire told me, will post up my short convo with tuem soon.

Reprisal the Populous like game has a new Linux test build!
21 May 2013 at 2:24 pm UTC

Quoting: OliI can't seem to run the executable. I unzip the files, then when I double-click it, I just get told that there is no application application installed for executable files. Also running Ubuntu 13.04 =/
You need to make it executable, right click -> properties -> check allow executing file as program.

They really need to improve that dialog box to just tell you that at least.

Steam's April hardware survey shows poor Linux statistics!

Quoting: HamishI have a more academic question - what actually attracted you to this website? I am not asking to try and dispute your complaint by this, but I am genuinely curious why someone would go onto a website that honestly believes in Linux games just so you can try and write them off. You are entitled to express that opinion, but I am a bit at a loss why you bothered to be here in the first place.
Its going to either be a user who got frustrated or a troll...

Either way World of Goo is one of the games that I have truly never had a problem with.
