Looks good. Thanks for the heads-up.

Any comments from the other tower-defence addicts around here?

I have liked their other games. Definitely worth looking into...

Amazingly, I still have a business software package that needs DOS. I have been happily running it in Dosbox for a decade. DosEmu just didn't work properly when I first set it up.

There are a few things that might make Dosbox more pleasant, but I am hugely appreciative to the devs for making it.

Is Dosbox pure 64-bit software? I would hate to lose it to Ubuntu's 32-bit purge.

Great interview. I appreciate the enthusiasm!

Game Dev is a tough business. It is good to see people who tough it out, make a good product, and are still ready to dive back in.

And, yes, I appreciate the Linux support.

Sadly, "Real life 1.0" is my main activity at the moment. I keep opening my vast Steam library and then closing it again with a guilty sigh. Someday soon I will have time to game again...

(Before that it was Borderlands 1 Enhanced under Proton)

Cool. I enjoyed the first one. It would be nice if there is a bit more sense of progression this time, though.

Quoting: ShmerlI'm using KDE from Debian testing for a long time already. It works well, but rarely transitions of KDE frameworks libraries and Plasma have some mistakes, when packages don't migrate all at once, which can temporary break things. Maintainers try to avoid such cases, but it happened a few times in the past, that forced me to roll back to some previous snapshot until things started moving. In general, KDE in Debian can benefit from more developers and maintainers.

Thanks. I will watch the Buster release with interest. I am overdue for a distro update anyway...

Quoting: ShmerlBut LTS distros are really not as good for desktop use case. Their main target audience are servers. That's why many gamers use rolling or more frequently than LTS release distros.

This is not true at all. I have been using only LTS versions since at least 2012. I got tired of trying to keep up. In fact I use the last LTS for up to a year past the new one, just to make sure all the bugs are squashed. With decent ppa support I have had no problems playing anything. Keeping up with non-LTS Ubuntu is often a fools game and only for developers or enthusiasts. I am too old for that, now.

Stability rules. I would happily switch to Debian if my PPAs for nvidia drivers, telegram, vivaldi, keepasXC, insync, and spideroak keep working?

Edit: Just checking and it looks like most of those work fine. Hmm. Does anyone have any comments on the KDE Debian spin?

There is a lot of very interesting mathematics in this game. Going through the "introduction" gives an excellent overview of different ways of dealing with hyberbolic geometry. Despite the weirdness of non-euclidean geometries, they turn out to be very useful for a lot of things in the 'real' world.

Looks like very cool idea. As you say, I hope the game turns out fun. I do like some semi-realistic biology.
