Meadow, an odd 'forum in games clothing' is now available with Linux support
26 Oct 2016 at 11:27 pm UTC

This reminds me of attempts at a "3D web". Being a game, primarily, might save Meadow from the shortcomings of that 90s era pipe dream.

Looking to capture gameplay from one Linux PC on another, what should I be getting?

I can second that OBS is an incredible solution. When I first embraced Linux, I tried Simple Screen Recorder but it had issues with audio desyncing from video.

AnxiousInfusion's nifty guide to decipher Linux port news:

"$GAME will release day-one for Linux!" == $Game will release months after everyone moves on to the next big thing.

"$GAME will release for Linux!" == $GAME has non-trivial chance of being canceled... and we won't tell you anything if it is hahaha!

"Linux port of $GAME will be released in X months!" == X = number_of_times_this_announcement_was_made * 2

"We are currently assessing the viability of a Linux port!" == We're going back through the code and realizing how much vendor lock-in we got suckered into.

"$GAME is in early access for Windows and will release with Linux support!" == We are staying in early access FOREVER.

"$KICKSTARTER_GAME also plans for a Linux release!" == But it's just a stretch goal and we're only as serious about the port as you are about your love life.

Quoting: ShmerlWhy no GOG release?
Shoot the developers an email maybe? One reason why Megabyte Punch now has a Linux version up on GOG is because I contacted the dev about it.

Awesome, another title to flood your victims friends with during Steam sales. I must have gifted Secret of the Magic Crystal at least a dozen times now.

Well, duh? All Feral's ports are native ports.
I thought that they were "semi-native". Anyway, I support their efforts it could be a bad sign if Feral is the only porting house doing all the heavy lifting. VP and Aspyr are still in the game, right?

'Sally Face', a rather intriguing & dark adventure game about a boy with a prosthetic face

Are you sure that's supposed to be a boy, as the title states?
