Well, I like all the AAA suggestions so far (ahem, Witcher 3). Just to be contrarian, if Ethan Lee is working on Proton, we need someone else to port these:

Cuphead
Unworthy
Ori and the Blind Forest
Guacamelee 2 (and Turbo 1)
Rain World

;-)

Well, since Liam likes to poke at this wound every month, I get to make the same rant again:

1) It is a Hardware survey. The OS is an afterthought.

2) Valve has never disclosed their statistical methods, rendering the entire thing useless for anyone outside of Valve.

3) Valve knows the OS of every computer logged into Steam, in realtime. It would be trivial for them to compile that information. But, they don't.

In other words, ignore the survey until one of these last two points changes.

Damn. That trailer was great.

Quoting: MysticTempest

Quoting: no_information_hereI figured that it was just small and rounded down to zero, rather than actually zero.

The 0-byte updates are a bug. Steam's stuck in an "update loop" modifying the appmanifests for these SteamPlay(Proton) games.

Thanks for the very clear explanation! That makes more sense now.

What I'm looking forward to now are Valve finding a way to deal with all those zero-byte updates

What is up with those? I figured that it was just small and rounded down to zero, rather than actually zero. However, Valdis has been doing almost one of these a day for over a week now. I don't mind if they are actually fixing things, but some kind of changelog would be nice.

I keep looking at this game and thinking it is beautiful, but not quite having the urge to buy. I generally don't buy early access anyway, but I am hopeful for the full release. I don't mind something slow-paced and open-world like Signal from Tolva, but at least that has a story to pull you along.

Still unsure...

Saw the link to Natron on their promo site. I hadn't heard of it before. Anyone here used it for VFX?

I have got through 17 levels now. Very nice - not easy but completely fair so far. The levels do feel hand-crafted.

Man, I have a serious weakness for Hexcells and Picross type games. For the price, I think this will be this evening's entertainment! Thanks for the mini-review.

Quoting: Charlie_SnWHi no_information_here, to put your mind at rest we don't send you back to the beginning of the game or level, that really is too harsh. We've broken up the levels with a series of portals which allow the player to jump between sections. You re-spawn at the last one of these you traveled through, so its basically like a check point system.

That sounds perfect. The wording was a little hard to figure out, considering how many games take rogue-like elements these days.

I look forward to the finished game!
