Quoting: buenaventuraDamn that music is PRETTY bad
The music is actually really good, obviously you can't get a proper feeling from a short video when it's cut up ;)

Quoting: EhvisI wonder if they'll ever add broadcasting to the Linux/Mac Steam clients. Tried to share my game screen with my brother a few weeks ago, but the Linux client still doesn't support it. A bit odd since the Steam Link works just fine.
Yeah, we've been without the feature for a long time now I do wonder why it's not in.

Quoting: 14It might be useful to state somewhere in this article that the game is still in development and not released yet.

I'm interested in the game, but I'll probably wait until it's released myself.
In my defence it did have the EA coloured tag. Have added an extra note.

Quoting: LinasThis does look interesting, but is there anything for Linux here?
SteamVR isn't a Windows-only thing: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux [External Link]

And this project is built with Unity.

As always, I cover things that are interesting even if right this second it's not perfectly on Linux.

Distance, the amazing atmospheric racing platformer is now officially out

Quoting: JuliusAnyone 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).
No issues for me.

Quoting: GuestHuh...so are google, M$, Sony and Nintendo gonna get a slap on the wrist too? oh right, they dont even give the benefit of refund therefore they don't have to get fined due to giving a worse service.
Yeah Nintendo are terrible. Tried to get a single refund from them for a truly crap game on Switch - completely denied.

An update on what's happening with Crazy Justice, the Battle Royale game from Black Riddles Studio

The Culling will always be more niche than the others, as the brutal combat and crafting aren't easy to get into.

I'm still chatting to BRS today, Linux update could be landing quite soon.

inXile will be 'all hands are on deck' to get the Linux version of The Bard's Tale IV out as soon as possible

So yeah the Linux version did indeed not make it out today. GOG have provided me with a key, so when it does release for Linux we can take a look.

FPS game Ballistic Overkill's Bloodlust update is out

Quoting: SuppenWhat does "Now, you will get more points for your kills based on how far into the match you took down your enemy." mean?

- More points the closer to the end of the game you are?
- More points the longer you have been alive since you spawned?
- More points the further you are from your spawn point?
- More points the further you have moved since you spawned?
- More points the further away your enemy was when you killed them?

All of these except the first favour specific classes
Adjusted it to be clearer, more points the quicker you are.

Monster taming RPG 'Siralim 3' now has a Linux version on Steam
18 Sep 2018 at 9:15 am UTC

Quoting: TcheyI played several dozen hours on Siralim 2, and a little less so far on Siralim 3.

Glad it has a proper native Linux now (it was announced a while back).
Yeah they originally thought it would only be a fix weeks, but the Linux version seems to have gone live ~15 hours ago.
