New version starts! Love the crt look though the textboxes don't seem to get the crt-treatment. Apart from that, maybe some "glow" between the "pixels" could be a nice extra.

I do seem to be getting the same slowdown that others have reported. Starts off smooth as butter, but performance gets really bad fairly quickly.

Latest linux mint xfce (so: no wayland), with an rx6600. I will check later if a newer kernel could alleviate the issue.

Quoting: pbLol, and what were they counting on? That Valve would just send them the payout without a second thought? I doubt the payments are automatic and if they were, then I'm pretty sure they no longer are, at least for the small devs/games.

I'd be more worried about what sort of malware may have been included in the download.

Reminds me a bit of the recently reported issue of forking attacks on github.

On another note: I find it very telling that the yuzu github page doesn't seem to have been hit by a dmca notice.

Indicates to me that nintendo are far less sure of their legal legwork than they pretend to be.

Another one on the it's-not-launching-list here.

OS is the latest Linux mint (xfce), so this was to be expected if the libc issue hasn't been fixed yet.

I'm sure that it will either be legally solid or that nintendo is fully prepared to outspend the defending team. It was only a matter of time before this kind of dmca abuse would reach emulators.

The switch was an ideal indie-gaming device for me, but with the deckalikes that are now available I will be happy to cut my losses on the highly restrictive ecosystem and move on.

Already decided this a while ago, by the way. The device and first party games are nice enough, but to me simply not worth the entitled company that gets attached with them. I'll spend my money and time on games by developers that are not being such cultural pirates, thankyouverymuch.

Quoting: mitridas"Bespoke" and "In-house" are both very good.
What about "Handcrafted"? Might sound more wholesome to non-technical people.

Stay tuned, I'm planning to push an update to Steam today with a bunch of fixes/improvements that hopefully will solve most of the problems you guys reported!

Or a bit more tongue-in-cheek: "traditionally handcrafted" or "home-made" ^_^

Not sure how well that would be received, though. One never knows nowadays, over the internet.

Quoting: JarmerI appreciate what the devs are saying, I really do ... but I will still be waiting. I have been burned in EA too many times. They can say whatever they want, and again I wish them nothing but success!! But I'll see them on release.

In general, I've found that waiting a few days should be enough time for it to emerge whether or not the dev's claims hold up under scrutiny.

Not only for early access, now that I think about it.

Quoting: mitridas

Quoting: Liam DaweI think it's more that just saying it's a "Proprietary engine" by itself isn't really a selling point, it doesn't really explain anything and to most people it won't really mean anything.

And no, no one expects games or the game engine to be open source at all.

Yeah, I guess it's true that to most people it wouldn't mean anything, but to other gamedev nerds like me it will :)
We might reword it to "Custom engine", and move it to a different section of the description to make it clearer.
...

May I suggest the term "in-house engine"?

That would properly convey that you made this "engine" thingy yourself (with the implication that many others don't), even to the most clueless of clueless. Custom could still be a modified third party engine, after all.

As for the play-test, just obtained access and I may even find the time tonight to take a peek ^_^

QuoteFor all of you who keep asking for more AMD powered laptops,

I am certainly definitely fine with more amd options.

However, what I keep asking for is a dedicated linux laptop with a keyboard with classic thinkpad layout and trackpoint with physical buttons as opposed to the yet another ultrabook-alike that even lenovo is steadily moving its line to.

QuoteNo more needing to manually compile it from source like we're back in the dark ages,

On the other hand: it is an excellent entry-point to get started on home-compiling.

Completely unrelated: I recommend reading "The feeling of power", a short story by Asimov.
