Loved both. The first Dig was good, but Heist was superb. Really looking forward to Dig 2.

Inspired by the character-driven narratives of Journey, Proteus, and Grow Home...

Sounds good to me. I like the low-poly style when done with creativity. Lets hope that it all comes together.

Steamworld Dig was great. Steamworld Heist managed to be even better. I sank an embarrassing amount of time into it.

I can't wait to see what they do with this one!

Quoting: tuxintuxedo

Quoting: no_information_hereHmm. Not so useful in my case (Neon/Ubuntu 16.04). For "lspci | grep VGA" I get:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c82 (rev a1)

...which probably doesn't help for this survey. For glxinfo I get nothing. In the Nvidia control panel, it tells me the card model on the "XScreen 0" tab. Your instructions may be more revealing for people running Mesa?

(I knew my card, but wanted work it out from scratch like you suggested).

You might want to try the update-pciids command (maybe sudo is needed).

Yup, that did it. Thanks. I didn't know about that command.

Quoting: LeopardProbably you are using a laptop with switchable graphics? Intel Hd and Nvidia

If you didn't set Bumblebee or Nvidia Prime probably that's why you can't see your gpu

No, desktop NVidia card.

Interesting. It really has that "grow home" vibe. I do like some weird humour, if the game can pull it off without getting stupid. Might have to get this one - it is a good price.

Quoting: GuestFor anyone not sure about what model GPU they're running, something like the following may help:

lspci | grep VGA

(that assumes you have lspci available of course)
GLX can also query information:

glxinfo | grep Device

There are other ways as well, depending on the distro used. I'm not really up to speed on all the graphical tools available, so I encourage people to suggest alternatives.

Really? Anyone with any sense should be using a password manager by now!

Quoting: g000hI bought Dungeon Warfare [External Link] for Sale on Steam this week. It is 75% discount (£1.74). It is working on Linux fine for me.

The game is a well-crafted Tower Defence game, in a Dungeon Keeper style setting. I've played it for about 5 hours, and have been thoroughly enjoying it. The various Steam reviews do a good job of describing it.

It is a bit smarter game-play than your average Tower Defence, because you can adjust the flow of the Heroes attacking your Dungeon core, by putting obstacles to force them to go another route. For instance, adjusting their route so that they wander into the tracks of mine-carts, and the mine-carts bear into them.

I'm particularly keen on the Harpoon trap, so far - which you place on the other side of 'bottomless' pits, and when an enemy comes along, it harpoons them, drags them into the pit and down they go.

Thank-you for the recommendation. I just bought a copy and have been playing it all day. The graphics are very basic, but the game is excellent for anyone who likes Tower Defence games.

I played this a few months ago. I thought it was great.

There is always a balance for puzzle games to keep it challenging but not frustrating. I thought the dev did a good job with that.

This is a great game - very slick. I really hope they get around to finishing the story mode!
