I know, like I said though only one person is working on their Linux ports at the moment, both do work for RuneSoft though.

One is doing mobile related stuff atm, like I said I've been chatting to them.

Edit > Got it cleared up, they are both doing Linux stuff.

Gauntlet Action RPG From Warner Bros & Arrowhead To Launch On Linux

Quoting: alexThunderlist of games
I disagree, to reboot something you are remaking it however much you change/keep the same. They are one and the same in my eyes.

One can argue it applies differently to different games.

The Final Fantasy games you listed have nothing to do with this as they are remasters of the exact same game, that is not a remake or a reboot (hence my earlier point about them being the same).

Anyway, who cares it's such a minor point.

The fact that Julian says "Windows" and not "PC" like a lot of other developers also gets him brownie points.
He says PC in the video though. :)
Does he? DAMMIT Julian! At least it says Windows in the rewards sections...

Quoting: maokeiLover the art style! This could endup being a really cool game im not sure If I want to contribute yet though 88k is the streetch goal for Linux, "Hopefully" it will be reached otherwise it would be a waste of my money and time.
Well their current trending is to over 200K, so once it reaches 88K be sure to chip in ;)

Quoting: LinuxianThanks RuneSoft for bringing up new games to Linux through Desura. I wondered why the developers were quite silent on ongoing projects that seem dead today. Just look at their page :
https://bitbucket.org/runesoftdev/ [External Link]

Games still to be released :
- Ankh
- Ankh 2
- Anlh 3
- Pinball 3D
- Knight & Merchants

Hopefully they will be released soon (or never ?)
From what I know only one guy is doing the Linux ports at RuneSoft, so don't expect quick releases.

Valve's Vogl OpenGL Debugger Now Works On AMD's Drivers
15 Mar 2014 at 7:21 pm UTC

Quoting: paupavYou are very arrogant. It's not about AMD it is about OpenGl. OpenGl is messy API and need to improve fast.

Wikipedia:
addition to the features required by the core API, GPU vendors may provide additional functionality in the form of extensions.
And OpenGl doesn't have basic features so gpu vendors have to add extensions.

OpenGl needs drastical changes or people will abandon it. Now when Valve is in OpenGl group its time for change.
No, I just happen to know a lot about AMD drivers thanks. OpenGL supporting extensions doesn't mean OpenGL doesn't have basic features, jeez talk about talking out of your ass.

I used AMD chips for 5-6 years before finally switching to Nvidia.

Also it is "OpenGL", not "OpenGl" as you call it.
