Ryan "Icculus" Gordon On The Linux Game Industry

Quoting: scaineWhy do you think he's anti-OpenGL?

Quoting: Ryan C. GordonIt's a mess. My hope is that we're about to move past OpenGL to, uh, I don't know what's to come next-gen APIs like Metal, Mantle, DirectX 12 and whatever the next version of OpenGL will look like which will probably be similiar, which basically says take all that stuff and throw it the f*ck out

Several high profile programmers have said similar things about OpenGL recently. I just think it may not be a good thing for linux gaming to move to a whole different and completely new API right when linux finally gets some attention.

What I found interesting is that he joined the growing crowd of developers who see no future in OpenGL. I don't think new API would be beneficial to linux gaming at this time with SteamOS coming and more and more game developers announcing their linux support. They might decide to stick with DirectX and wait for the new thing to take hold on linux and OS X.

Wasteland 2 RPG Finally Offers A Linux Version As Promised

Quoting: toorWell I kickstarted it and I have no link or steam key on their website https://rangercenter.inxile-entertainment.com/ [External Link]
How have u managed to get it?

You would have to have paid 55$ or more to be eligible for the beta. Otherwise they will send you a key when the first stable version comes out, but that will take some time (until they squeeze as much money as they can from the early access).

I am also a backer and I can't wait to play it. It looks awesome.

The game-play is more like a traditional FPS ripping out the commander mode entirely

It can get pretty annoying when you have an incompetent commander or when no one in your team wants to be the commander in Natural Selection, but this feature is what makes NS a unique game. If they remove it then they will end up with an average sci-fi FPS and we have more than enough of those available on linux already.

Amazing progress. I know they haven't stated any ETA for version 1.0 yet, but does anyone know what major features are still missing the engine?

RimWorld Space Colony Sim Alpha 2 Is Now Out

Prison architect was similarly expensive. I don't regret buying it, but I won't buy an alpha stage indie game for AAA game price again. It just isn't right.

Linux Game Sales Statistics From Multiple Developers
20 Jan 2014 at 9:58 pm UTC

I'd be really interested in what Frozenbyte have to say about their linux sales. You know Trine 1/2, Shadowgrounds and Survivor. They had them ported to linux and have a history of releasing source code, which is a huge plus for me.
