Thanks for the really nice interview! And thanks James for your work on all those titles, I'm ecstatic to see all Wadget Eye Games fully supported on Linux, and it's a good incentive to jump into the last few titles I haven't played yet :)

Wow, it's probably the first time in a looooong time that a Humble Bundle has such a percentage of native Linux titles. I already have XCOM2 but might pick the bundle for the rest which looks quite interesting, and to support devs who support Linux :)

Looks interesting! For those wondering like me what the difference is between the Steam version and the Web app: https://www.reddit.com/r/MelvorIdle/comments/jywwb4/steam_vs_web_app_vs_phone_app/ [External Link]

That looks really nice, thanks for covering it! I'll definitely be following their progress.

Just worried a bit by the talk about season pass/expansions as I'm not so much into ever-expanding content which end up being both time and money sinks. I'd be more for a well-rounded experience for 30 EUR that I can enjoy for a while and then move on to other horizons :) So I'll wait for the release to see how the commercial concept unfolds for real.

Quoting: Akien

Quoting: DeathByDenimHmm, looks interesting, but the demo doesn't run on Ubuntu 20.04.
 
./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64)
I think Ubuntu 20.04 is only on 2.31.

Indeed, glibc 2.33 is fairly recent so it sounds like they built custom Godot binaries on a cutting edge distro. This is problematic as Linux binaries need to be built against the oldest glibc version one aims to support, so typically on older distros (CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 16.04).

I'll help the devs to fix their Linux binaries to ensure that they're as portable as official Godot builds.

FYI, this is now fixed in the Steam demo.

Also fixed another Godot issue along the way which should benefit users of AMD discrete GPUs :)

As the upstream repo is archived, it doesn't accept contributions, but there seems to be an active fork rebranded to Open Brush, with initial Linux support: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/pull/4 [External Link]

It's also having a contribution from one of the original committers on the Google repo, so likely someone from Google: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/pull/2 [External Link]

Exciting to see where it goes :)

Great initiative! I'm happy to see something like this finally available in the FOSS toolkit, and kudos to you for creating bindings for so many FOSS languages and engines. I'm sure Godot folks will find a good use for your GDNative implementation at https://github.com/dulsi/gdnativegamerzilla [External Link] :)

For the reference, there's a WIP Python 3 port at https://github.com/Ryochan7/sc-controller/tree/python3 [External Link]

It builds and runs fine, though I can't get it to recognize my SC properly, but I'm not sure it's related to the Python 3 port or a change in my distro (especially the Linux kernel's HID driver).

For the reference, it's also distributed on Steam [External Link] (with close to 200 positive reviews in just a few days!), but as the devs are not familiar with Linux they haven't included the Linux build on Steam yet.

Be sure to let them know if the Linux build on itch works for you to give them confidence :)
