While yes they could just wait, that could be applied to any kind of release date though right? Better to get something out, so it's done and there.

Quoting: Talon1024The business model I "wholeheartedly agreed with" was the one where the developers release all the code and none of the assets, so that people would still have to buy the game to play it, even if they have access to the source code.

Right...so you're just agreeing with what both of us said 😅

Quoting: BloodScourgeHmmm... Not too fond of this license. Open the code under a FOSS license, keep the assets close/proprietary, if you don't want someone to resell the game as is. Best of both world... :huh:

Yeah, that's the normal way, not really sure why they do it like this.

So that the developers can keep making money from the game, whilst having the source code available to anyone who wants to tinker with it, port it to Linux, or whatever.

I whole-heartedly approve of that kind of business model, and I believe more game developers should do this. It's a win-win situation for both the original developers and Linux/FOSS fans.

I think you're misunderstanding. I was agreeing with what BloodScourge pointed out. Releasing the code is the normal way, not giving the entire assets - so devs have no real problem continuing to sell the game.

Quoting: LounThat's great news!

However, they say on the patch note that the game now requires being played from an SSD, and that HDDs and SD cards (when it comes to Steam Deck) simply don't cut it anymore. Was this tested from an SD card?

Thanks again for your great work!

This was tested on the Steam Deck's SSD.

Quoting: Fester_MuddI see LiamD you moved from Fedora back to (K)ubuntu. What was the main reason for this if you will? Because i have many times returned to Ubuntus...

I was having serious system lag / stalls that I still haven't tracked down. Had it on Fedora, OpenSUSE and Kubuntu and on both GNOME and KDE - still trying to narrow it down. I thought it *might* be the AMD CPU issue Linus had a recent rant [External Link] about but unsure. But sticking with Kubuntu for now, because pretty much everything works on Ubuntu-likes and I prefer KDE.

Quoting: KimyrielleDidn't think I'd ever read "souls-like" and "accessible" in the same line. :D

Hah, yeah they don't really go together usually buuuut it's all about how it eases you into it. Lies of P has a nice early flow to it that prepares you better than certain others IMO.

FNA is more a replication of XNA, to keep compatibility.

MonoGame is more like the next-generation XNA.
