GOL Cast: Building My Empire In Civilization V

Quoting: wleoncioI've actually heard from a couple of sources that the Linux version is actually running faster than the Windows one. Can anyone else attest that?

BTW, I wish GOL had polls so we could get a better idea of that kind of thing. It would also be useful for that whole Witcher 2 is slow/OK discussion.
The more people that request a poll system the more likely I am to implement it :P.

Valve Are Heating Up Linux As They Greenlight More Linux Games

Actually you can create games without programming with things like Construct 2 & Clickteam's tools. They are visual drag and drop stuff and people have made some impressive stuff with them.

Making a game is not difficult, the difficulty depends what you want to call a game. A simple asteroids type game or a simple puzzle game is still a game you don't have to think of something like a Call of Duty to be a game.

I think that is a stupid article personally. As a reply from Gamasutra stated:
Like the idea of a second videogame crash, it's a prophecy of doom that never seems to deliver but is always on the horizon.
When indie games are so easy to make (how many engines are there?!) we will see more, not less.

dave was referring to the bit Rich did say where it he ends it with "lol".

I have edited his reply though as it was completely un-needed to call him that.
