Quoting: Mountain ManSeems like every time these guys make an announcement about Linux, they live up to their name.
Well, it's kinda unlikely we'll ever hear about them again. At least here.
Correct. Unless they suddenly support us again in future, this is likely the last ever post about them :)

Quoting: EikeI read the article more by chance and feel like this "free" thingy might be good for the headline... :-)
Good point.

I'm definitely not a fan of the "oooh…yeah!" moaning going on whenever you take a checkpoint or spawn back at one. You can adjust it, to have a less graphic "ah yeah!" but that's even more annoying. Look, sometimes I fell off the same platform like a hundred times, it really irritated me. I wish I could turn it off.
The developer said under a review:
"As a note, you can turn on PG mode in the options, which removes the checkpoint sound effects & swearing."
Is that what you tried, or does it help you?
It doesn't remove the sound effect, it just changes it as noted.

Quoting: sigzWell, fair enough. Now they could just ensure their game is fully compatible with proton.
It uses Easy Anti-Cheat, so until that's fully supported in Steam Play it's not possible.

The monster taming metroidvania "Monster Sanctuary" enters Early Access this month

Quoting: RFSharpeI supported this project on Kickstarter back in October of 2018. From reading the Kickstarter informational page, I got a very distinct impression that these brothers were top notch developers. Soon after this i played the "demo" version of the game for over six hours. I was amazed at how well developed the "demo" version of the program was.

I have many fond memories of playing Pokemon Red and Blue with my son. He played on the color Gameboy, I played on the older Gameboy black & white and we would sit side-by-side for hours on end . We eventually bought a Gameboy Link Cable which allowed us to visit locations otherwise inaccessible. Good times...

There is something about this game that rekindles those memories and so I am looking forward to the release of Monster Sanctuary.
I assume then you're following Monster Crown too then? :)

Last warning on this. Stop. Keep it on the topic.
