Clever and quirky musical platformer 'Songs for a Hero - A Lenda do Herói' gets an English version

Very funny. I don't know if the english-singer's voice might start to get to me, though.

I looked up the original version - the voices seem much more relaxed:

Nice. I enjoyed the demo. Good mix of challenge.

(No clicky link to the Steam page this time?)

Ethan Lee is a hero.

For a while I was trying to buy every game he ported, but I couldn't keep up!

His work behind the scenes is also amazing.

Steam has multiple big sales going with the Golden Week Sale, Tower Defense Tag and tinyBuild

Hmm. They have Okami on sale, and protonDB gives it platinum. Very tempting.

I played it twice on the PS2 and then again on the PS3. Yes, I do think it is worth paying for 3 times...

Area 86 is a challenging and amusing physics-based escape room puzzler out now

Quoting: fleskSo, all in all, I think it has the potential to be a very interesting game, but it's possibly a bit short on content right now, and it could benefit from being a bit more streamlined.
Thanks, flesk. I always appreciate your opinions and reviews!

Distro News - Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa', Ubuntu MATE and other flavours released

Quoting: The_AquabatI've been using Kubuntu flavour since the beta was released, not a single bug. Such a quality release, impressive!! good job canonical and team!
I used to use Kubuntu but defected to Neon LTS a number of years ago. I have been pretty happy with its recent stability. The only thing I miss is 32 bit Wine, but Proton covers most of that use.

I do have some business software that would be really nice to run in Wine, but the Neon dependency chain is just different enough that it is a fool's errand trying to get it to work. I keep thinking that Wine would be a perfect use for snap, but I only find "supporting" wine snaps for other programs that are already pre-packaged. No good for me.

With a demon trapped in a weird tiny body, the 2.5D platformer 'WarriOrb' is out on April 28

I played the demo and it is quite fun. Some challenging platforming and I like the level design. It has a lot of promise.

Not Yet is a multinational indie studio
While linguistically correct, I think the term "multinational" is mostly used in English for companies that are a little bigger :-)

It is cool seeing games coming out of Hungary!

There's now over 6,000 Linux games on Steam plus thousands more playable with Steam Play Proton

Nice summary, Liam.

I am still amazed at the success of Linux gaming, considering our relatively small market share. I do hope that Valve (and everyone else) continues with the great support.

I still prefer native games, but have been astounded at the progress of Proton.

The 'GameMode' performance tool from Feral Interactive makes it into Ubuntu 20.04

Quoting: no_information_hereI am curious, as someone who has never used the daemon: Does anyone here use this much? Are there any non-Feral games you have found that benefit significantly from GameMode?
At the very least it disables the screensaver for games only being played with a controller (since they usually aren't considered "user input devices" by the display).
Hmm. I almost exclusively play with the steam controller and have only ever had proton games start the screensaver. That seems to have been fixed for a while, though. Is the screensaver still a problem for many people?

Interesting. Nice to see Feral's work get pulled into the official OS.
