Convoy is ace for a sort of GURPS Autoduel inspired game. I've had a blast playing it.

Okay.... They practically included everything the game possibly links to. Just inexperienced I guess. (libfmod + libGLEW only works fine, should also work fine with distro versions if installed).

But yeah text is borked, it looks like the font used is too large for the allowed render boxes, or the render boxes are too small.

And writes the configuration to Documents... FFS, do game devs still do this on Windows too?

I am absolutely amped for this. Looks like it should be good, and after Dusk I'm craving more of the same.

Oh, I purchased it last month. Cool! Now to remember to play it.

I'm a bit disappointed the devs didn't nickname themselves Dazza and Chazza.

Feral Interactive confirm DiRT 4 for Linux due "in the next couple of months"

Quoting: subWhy not Dirt Rally 2.0?

Is Codemasters against a simultaneous Linux release?

Don't get me wrong. It's not that DiRT 4 is a bad game (I don't know) but it doesn't help the platform, if AAA game ports usually appear years later (if at all). Reception outside hard-core Linux gamers is that the platform is not worth to be served on release.
I'm sure I read something somewhere that Feral actually has to buy the rights to port a game to be able to do the ports. If that's true then it would explain older games being ported as they would be cheaper.

Don't quote me on that though, I could be wildly off base. Liam might recall something.

Putting games across multiple stores is not easy, as developers keep noting recently

Sort of makes me wonder if anyone has considered building a GUI tool to manage this process across most storefronts.
