OpenApoc, the open source engine for X-COM: Apocalypse shows impressive progress

I thought the real time combat was a toggle, yoy could switch to turn based? My memory is fuzzy on this one though.

Like OpenXcom i am sure this engine will overcome issues the original had :)

Changes to our Survey are coming, hopefully to make it easier and better

Quoting: DVS999I think this is fraught with problems. You will have so many variations of CPU and GPU Architectures entered by Users as deem the data meaningless. Take my laptop processor:- Intel Core i7 2840QM. I could enter that as i7 2840QM, Core i7 2840QM, 2840QM etc etc. Also get's very complicated with multi-processor machines. My desktop/gaming rig is a Dell T5500 with Dual Xeon x5670 processors
We have never asked about specific models.

This has opened up the ability for me to do other stuff, like this (obviously not finished, missing username and link to full profile):

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionEven though I commend your switch away from Google forms, this will have a detrimental effect on total responses. In the past, a link to the survey could be shared on sites like Voat and Reddit. Will the new one have functionality for non-registered users?
Already planning for that. The survey will have a static link, and simply grab the data for people who are logged in.

Quoting: EikeYou could store previous answers in a cookie and retrieve them (where it makes sense, like, not the games bought last month) from there.
Also a good idea I can quite easily do for stuff that wont change often.

Feral Interactive officially confirm F1 2015 is coming to Linux

Quoting: ajyotirmayI've always been a fan of racing games, and F1 2015 is the last title I played(on Windows) and I loved it. I've always wanted this one title on my Linux machine. It'd be nice of Feral to port it. Although, the removal of news doesn't builds up much confidence... :(
Considering how it appeared in the news list like it was an old news item in-between Tomb Raider info I would imagine the news posting was an accident. Hopefully they will be able to let us know either way soon.

Like Blizzard, Bethesda is one of the companies that will support Linux last.

Anyway, this is not the topic for this post ;)

Quoting: EKRboiEDIT* sorry for the tread jack... but i'm SUPER excited! Not necessarily for this particular game... but it's certainly news that it DOES run on Vulkan!

So word on the streets is that Doom CAN and IS running on Vulkan!!! *itshappening.gif*!!!

At the very least it should (eventually) work via wine Vulkan backend. Native shouldn't be that much of an issue to port, but seeing as it's Bethesda... Let's just say I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah, nothing to be excited about. Doom is not coming to Linux.

Stellaris preview on Linux, now available to watch on our Youtube

Quoting: zimplex1I broke my no pre-order rules for this game; this will be the first pre-order in 3+ years. Still I know Paradox will deliver a great quality game. Still... May shame fall upon me for breaking my own rules.
Same, I had it on pre-order even before Paradox provided me access.

The friendly Friday Livestream is here again, drop by at 5 PM UTC!
