Quoting: elmapul"Note: For some reason they still aren't linking the new Linux launcher on their downloads page, the one that doesn't require Java. You can download it here."

.tar.gz

Really? i will have to type configure, make install and find the dependences my self? in 2017?

No, it's all built for you. They do also have a .deb file [External Link], but I decided to link to the main tar file so everyone can enjoy it, not just debbers.

Quoting: BeamboomCould one of you Vive guys please report on how this game performs in VR?
Controls, fluidity, etc. Cause it sure looks like it could be fun in VR!

One day, I might be able to answer things like that, but not today :(

The game is constantly impressing me from all angles.

Best. Pun. Ever.

Also, your use of "decent" to describe for a Descent clone... even if it's not intentional, I'm impressed! :D

I'm so glad someone picked up on that first one, the other one was a happy accident that just came out as I wrote it :D

Quoting: liamdaweFew developers are able to pull off a Descent-like six-degree-of-freedom shooter, but the Overload team easily have the most promising available.

Was Sublevel Zero [External Link] so easily forgotten?

No, I said few developers, not none. The gameplay here also trumps that game for the feel of it anyway.

It's a Unity bug affecting multiple titles, hopefully it will be solved properly soon.

Woohoo! Good job Unity team :)

Just to clear up some things here :)

Quoting: Geppeto35Can I suggest some potential developments for GOL, Liam?
1/ By reading many of your papers, I often feel that somewhere on the net, we lack of a more militant site that would organize, quantify, show and advertise requests, demands, etc. for linux gamers. A place where you can create a web page to vote (thus number for developers) for some ports or kind of games, indicate how much you would fund such port or buy those games on linux, for requests to sellers (e.g. GOG or itch) to do this or that, etc.
Structure of such webpage would be(? I don't develop website :'(): A title of the vote, a summary of the request, a list of possibilities, show the number of votes for each possibility...and a discussion section like for each of your paper to detail and discuss requests ;-)

I have considered such a system before, but it just likely wouldn't be worth it. The single best way is to tell developers directly.

Quoting: Geppeto352/ a list of games you wrote about with vote (readers will do, would rank game in this list per genre?) and keyword about the kind of game (type: RPG, Shooter, etc.; difficulty; age: I'm always looking ofr good ideas for my sons of 12 and my nieces and nephews of 5, 8, 15) to help us for choosing the next games we would play.. with link to steam, gog, itch, humble stores (they can remunerate you for that?)

We actually have a games database I've been slowly building up the background for such purposes ;). Haven't really announced it, as it's still very much a work in progress.

Quoting: Geppeto353/ A (or some) clear webpage(s) where we can aggregate links (with a search engine?) pointing to useful developments and discoveries, like wine-wrappers, project like openMW, interesting mods for linux gaming on popular games, etc.

Not entirely sure what you mean by this. Our news is generally the best way to keep up to date, but we do (usually) have our news correctly tagged. You can click a tag like the blue "Site Info" below the article, to then see all news in that category. If it's the name of a game, clicking it will go to the games page in the games database too, where all news items tagged for that game will also show :)

Quoting: Refuerzo1I'm considering to support you, Liam. I'm an eager reader of your work and articles, and all of them are brilliantly written, authentic and with knowledge of cause.
Your work should be fairly rewarded, and I haven't done it already cause I'm currently not gaining any money, so basically my mother would be supporting you at this stage, probably without knowing it. I will decide this in the next few days.
Meanwhile, keep on rocking my friend!
The world needs you.
César.

Hey there, thanks for the kind words!

Please, and this goes to everyone, please do not feel forced into doing so. If you're able to, great, but don't force yourself if you cannot afford it :)

Quoting: razing32Does it have an editor built in Liam ? Or mod support ?

Doesn't look like it has either, no.

Quoting: GuestThis was released on May 23rd, just posting about a missed title?

I often post about games after their release with some thoughts. A date is just a date.
