Dominions 5 announced with Day-1 Linux support
12 Sep 2017 at 3:50 pm UTC

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI really like playing Dominions.
It would just be nice if they could implement an actual SP with some basic AI diplomacy so that it can serve for a bit more than just random testing...
What? No single player? Well there goes my interest.

Unsung Story, a game previously funded by Kickstarter has started again under a new developer
7 Sep 2017 at 5:38 pm UTC

Quoting: Doc AngeloWow... is this for real? Playdek collected the money and did not even develop an alpha or something? It would be only fair to give the Kickstarter money to the new developer. But as I understand, the money is already "spent". But on what exactly?
Based on the comments from backers, it sounds like they may have used the money to fund other games they already had in development with the idea that they would use the profit from those games to fun Unsung Story. I, of course, have no way to confirm these accusations.

Quoting: Doc AngeloHow is it legally? If the Kickstart project literally doesn't do anything, can he be sued? Or is every developer completely free to do as they like with any amount of money?
Kickstarter supposedly has a mechanism in place for holding people accountable, but the reality is, there seems to be nothing stopping people from doing whatever they want with the money. All that's needed is a "good faith effort" for them to fulfill their obligation, a term that's apparently open to interpretation.

Ah, yes, another Kickstarter success. At least it was a success for the original developer who seems to have taken the money and run.

Quoting: tuubiYay. American handegg. "It captures the sport’s essence" eh? Does it simulate doping? How about brain injury due to repeated concussions? /troll
Since you admit to trolling, I assume you're aware that the incidences of brain injury in football players (and injuries in general) have been overblown by liberal activists and the mainstream media.
Let me rephrase what you just said:


Thank you for your insight.
Your user name is appropriate.

Feral Interactive announce XCOM 2: War of the Chosen will be on Linux in "September"

Random observation: writing "MacOS" in all caps looks very strange... "MACOS".

Excited for Tropico 6? Here's a new trailer to keep you going

Tropico 5 had too many mediocre reviews for me to feel comfortable buying it. Maybe 6 will be an improvement.

The developers of 'Darkwood' have put up a free torrent if you can't afford to buy it

Quoting: tomaszgThe torrent seems to be Windows only :(
Well that sucks.

Want to know what could have happened in Half-Life 2: Episode 3? Well, now you might be able to

Quoting: LeopardMaybe , just maybe this could be a reverse PR technique.

Leak scenario and imply that is not gonna happen , feed the hunger of fans but also kill the expectations.

Under that scheme , if you release HL3 after killing the hype ; that can cause a massive hype even bigger than before.
Do they really need the hype? I'm convinced Valve could quietly release Half-Life 3 on Steam and it would become a best-seller within hours just from word of mouth alone.

I really don't understand why Valve won't just make Half-Life 3.
