They confirmed to me it will be available on twitch after the livestream, so anyone who misses it will be able to watch which is good news.

Death by Game Show is a really weird strategy game now on Linux, some thoughts
26 Jan 2016 at 9:36 am UTC

Quoting: 14Maybe you have reason not to, but it'd be cool if you made videos with commentary of you playing the game. They wouldn't necessarily have to be really long like giantbomb quick looks, but a few minutes of real gameplay + commentary goes nicely with a trailer and text.
I would love to do them myself, but I am rather pressed for time a lot nowadays. Even a ten minute video can end up taking hours to get correct after cutting down gameplay, editing and so on.

Quoting: GuestWhat do you mean by "with permadeath"? If I die in game, I have to buy game again to play it? :D
Was that a genuine question? It means you have to start all over again.

Hmm seems Firefox rendering is a bit pants for an svg included as a normal image. Works fine in Chrome.

The graph lines don't even show up in Firefox when set as an html object, wtf is Firefox doing hmmm.

Empires, a Source SDK hybrid of FPS and Strategy looks like it's coming to Linux
23 Jan 2016 at 3:34 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestThey're moving to UE4 instead of upgrading to Source 2 when the latter has Vulkan support? A little odd but okay. Not that UE won't have it as well soon.
Valve are notoriously bad at supporting people using Source. I'm really not surprised.

Quoting: RTherenI wonder if this will be downloadable mode, or a standalone game...
As stated, right now it's a mod.

Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition has gone gold, new teaser and weapon code for you
22 Jan 2016 at 6:18 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestNever heard of that happening. My experience was their OpenGL engine was horrible, then it was a little better, then it was quite a bit better, but still ~30% below Direct3D speed.
So, like most other ports right now then in reality they aren't doing too bad.

Quoting: marcelomendesbut this bug is completely ignored by the devs and GOL. :(
Says who? I was only unable to connect to Samsai, but I've had plenty of people join my own session, and I've joined others.
