Quoting: ShmerlNot really. It only shows that one has to prepare for that process instead of doing blindly. Others will learn from such mistakes.

This. In the end Crowdfunding is just a investment in a concept and the rewards are just a promise. You don't buy a game as a customer. Like investment, if you don't make a background check and trust someone blindly because of a flashy video... well don't be surprised if it bites you in the back. That's the risk with crowdfunding. You don't buy a product, you basically donate to a concept. Don't trust random devs with no experience in the industry ;) Worked for me so far.

Goddammit! I haven't finished the first one and there is also Darkest Dungeon... and I didn't even started Hyper Light Drifter! I wish I had more time to play all these games. I can't keep up with all these promising titles. :-/

Quoting: wvstolzingThough seriously, why is it spelled with a 'k'?

Well Vulkan is also the German word for volcano, maybe they think it sounds "badass"? *shrugs* By the way the window manager from gnome is called "Mutter" which is the German word for mother....

Quoting: liamdaweWill look to add other rewards when we can come up with cost effective interesting stuff for people.

To be honest I would say don't add to much rewards. In my experience this can be contra productive. Just a tip. I'm also now a little patron of yours.. Not much but I have already other open source projects I support monthly ;)

Keep it up guys.

Isn't CSMT also included in CrossOver by default? So I don't think people have to worry that CSMT will be abandoned in the future ;)

Quoting: melkemindThat's a good average, but what is the lowest it goes? Are there any significant drops in framerate?

The lowest drop, that I noticed, was to 48 fps in a fight with many enemies and explosions. But I wouldn't notice that if I hadn't the fps counter on. Sometimes the game stutters for a second while I drive (not that often). Most of the time the game feels really smooth.

Quoting: ZeloxWhat :O?! How in the world?!
How did you do that, magic?

Quoting: XaeroVincentI think when they throw around terms like "play all games" they are referring to the fact that you can use Steam In-Home Streaming to stream demanding Windows-only games from another Windows PC to the SMACH Z much like is the case with the Steam Machines. However, another less talked about option is cloud gaming. Linux and SteamOS will gain native access to an upcoming cloud gaming service that will essentially let any Linux gamer play any game for PC, not just Linux ports and also potentially play on cloud hardware much more powerful than the SMACH Z or baseline Steam Machines, thus offering better graphics and performance.

An example of this for instance is Fallout 4 on SteamOS:

It's probably only a stream from a Windows PC ;)
