An update on what's happening with Crazy Justice, the Battle Royale game from Black Riddles Studio

500keys? Sounds more like they want to start stress testing, especially if comparable number go to other outlets

Which is good but they better have fixed those bugs... EA is meant to be for weeding out bugs but you need good developer communications.

It's a shame they have gone full in on a fortnite clone, it will be harder to appeal to other gamers and to keep them.
Switch + Linux was the platform uniqueness for this but now it is just linux. The shedding of the interesting modes is equally unfortunate

Still... Could be good. The Culling is more of a BR (and completely Hunger games) and the anxiety of being hunted ESP when you have nothing is great BUT no way am I letting my kids even see this :)

CJ however and considering my boys school sent a letter home banning all talk of fortnite (and advised not playing it ) I can honestly say he would play fortnite :)

Fighting game 'Fantasy Strike' is now out on Linux, needs a quick fix

This game crashes with steam controller plugged in

Even though INSOMNIA: The Ark is delayed for Linux, the developer sounds committed to a Linux version

I'm going to wait till it's out native. Game settings will be saved in the wine area not home so any progress made using proton won't appear in the Linux one (maybe a MV will do but unsure about the file formats)

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS to get more multithreading

Good good. Love this game. My boy also loves this game and since he has improved to cope with 2planet systems this is a welcome improvement

Despite promising an Early Access release, Crazy Justice is out only for backers for now and it's rougher than expected

The libsteam_api.so is incorrectly referenced, you can copy it in manually to get the game to run, some methods on this thread [External Link].
The password won't work. I'll wait a day or so to see if I can login later.
You need to make a new account, so do that at the login screen
It's under the login button, but it's not too clear :)

I just hope they don't wait a week or so to fix all this, the longer it's left in this state the worse it will be for them. I'm still in a bit of shock it was sent to people like this.

They showed it off at MIX during E3...so how did it get so bad?
I have been thinking about this... They probably rewound to a version which could do multiplayer across the internet

They demo on switch so probably had a private lan for that. Maybe they just couldn't get all the "shinies" merged in and just decided to release

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: BeamboomTo be honest, and this is of course very easy to say now in retrospect, but just by hearing the audio effects and background music in that gameplay video clip earlier this week, this really doesn't come as much of a surprise to me. It had to be some stock assets from the Unity editor being used, and more than indicated that they had a lot of work left. Like, a lot.
It's weird because the BR mode was a late addition to the game. Half of the issues should have been worked out for the original game. Especially the sound, since that is such an important part of shooters.

The really should have pulled in the backers for testing way back with the E3 build. I don't see them releasing anything free to the public in a short time now.
Exactly, all games have bugs, but some of these are quite...
There is going to be pressure to finalise something to start pulling in $$$, the longer the game is in development the more likelihood it just fizzles out

Crazy Justice has a new video to show off some proper gameplay ahead of Early Access

Ok so it is out and it is rough...

initially the games will not launch on linux, it complains about a missing libsteam_api.so. It is present but in a different directory so something went wrong with their bundling

pwd
/opt/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Crazy Justice/CrazyJustice/Binaries/Linux
[jrb:/opt … mon/Crazy Justice/CrazyJustice/Binaries/Linux] $ readlink libsteam_api.so 
../../../Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Steamworks/Steamv142/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libsteam_api.so
[jrb:/opt … mon/Crazy Justice/CrazyJustice/Binaries/Linux] $ 


It launches fine BUT if it crashes (and it does quite frequently) it will ROYALLY mess with your sound and it doesn't cleanly crash ... I am going to have to look into cgroups for process isolation to help kill all of it.

When you are on the airship it is LAGGY...
When you then look at the island you can see missing textures but luckily this is just some of the ground.

Now... when the arena 1st shrinks there is CRAZY lag but then it settles down...

You cannot customise your keybindings, none of your settings are saved so the build is quite early beta.
Fundamentally... its a BR game but it is rough






The Panorama UI for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is now live for everyone by default

I have been using the panoramic UI since it went into beta. it is a really nice overhaul.
Wasn't CS:GO meant to goto Vulkan and source2 like DOTA2 did?

Two Point Hospital confirmed to be releasing for Linux next month

I wonder if they have bloated head syndrome?

Part of me hopes so but part of me also wants new crazy diseases and funky cures with a larger management theme
