Wow. It's free and there are complaints about the key being tied to the Steam store :-(

I quite enjoyed Pandora, so I'm definitely following this one!

Quoting: EikeIn the last Smach Z article, someone said that somebody big should stand up and develop such a thing and that it could be a promising endeavor... :)
Just as long as this doesn't become the Smach Zzz...

EDIT: Too many CTRL-Vs.

System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard

I honestly hope this keyboard sells well, but it's not for me without the numpad (and a few extra macro keys). My trusty Roccat Ryos still does the business in this house :-)

Proton Experimental begins work to allow Resident Evil Village to run on Linux

Quoting: orochi_kyoCapcom is going bankrupt cause you do not care. But the other 99% of Linux gamers will be fine with just clicking play on the game in Steam and able to play without the need of Dual Boot.
Two points:
1) I've no idea about Capcom's financial situation but I'd wager that a company would be more likely to go bankrupt due to churning out rehashes of the same IP every year or two.
2) The latest RE requires a little more than simply clicking 'play' to launch it in Linux.

Quoting: orochi_kyoI love Linux but some Linux gamers are not conscious they mean nothing to most developers out there.
You contradict yourself. I refer you to your sentence about Capcom 'going bankrupt cause you do not care'.

Edge of Eternity (via Proton as native is still unstable): now on chapter 5 and finding it very rewarding!

Got back into Jupiter Hell recently. It's a brilliant strategy game with cool weapons/upgrades and a variety of monsters. I'm rubbish at it but it's great fun :-)

The title Resident Evil Village sounds like it ought to be a theme park :-)

Looks lovely, but the Steam reviews tell a different story. I'm on the fence with this one and will probably wait until the price becomes a little more sensible.

What have you been playing? Have a Sunday chat with us

I've been playing Edge of Eternity on both Linux beta (some input lag and crashes) and through Proton. There's a new Linux build just released so I will check that out soon, though the Proton version is really responsive with very few hitches even on high settings.

It's a good old (J)RPG with story, exploring, crafting and plenty of side-quests :-)

Eagre Games developer of surreal adventure ZED closes down

The demo looked really promising but sadly the released game didn't seem to hold quite the same interest for me.
