Day of Infamy, the WWII FPS has a big polishing update, take a look at my video

Quoting: liamdaweThis update doesn't have any major new features
Dude, new maps and new gamemodes! :D
HITMAN for Linux officially announced, port by Feral Interactive and arriving this month

Quoting: ellie_feralTo clarify, we haven't announced what our first Vulkan game will be, nor a timescale of spring. We're aiming to get a Vulkan game out in the first half of this year.

If you got Vulkan tangled up with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, that's because we talked about Vulkan during a Deus Ex: Mankind Divided live stream. Which was nice and confusing, woo.
True, true, sorry for mixing it up. I was on the Twitch chat during that stream but I don't remember the exact words.

Here's the GOL source: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/feral-interactives-linux-ports-may-come-with-vulkan-sooner-than-we-thought-updated.8418

P.S.
First half of the year and Spring are kinda the same since the first day of Summer is June 20 :P

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT@Feral: Will it be vulkan? Are there any vulkan ports to be announcet right now? :)
I asked on Facebook. They said its opengl. Vulkan is coming later in the year, it wasn't clear if they are planning Vulkan for an unreleased game or for titles like Hitman and Dues Ex that have a DX12 back end already.
They already confirmed last year that Deus Ex MD will be their first Vulkan title (that they will add Vulkan support for the game in Spring 2017).

EDIT:
Seems like I was vastly inaccurate about that (sorry!), here's the GOL source on the subject: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/feral-interactives-linux-ports-may-come-with-vulkan-sooner-than-we-thought-updated.8418

I like how these two things seem unrelated, yet were a cause of a bug :)
Some thoughts on 'imprint-X', the button pushing puzzle game that had day-1 Linux support

A fact: this is a game from Mordondag, the creators of RymdResa, a roguelike space odyssey in a procedurally generated world:

So, more stable and more fluent on average. Good job!
Jonathan Blow states he is open to a Linux port of The Witness with Vulkan, but never with OpenGL

Not sure why he cares so much because surely it won't be him doing the port (Knockout Games was hired to port The Witness to Xbox One).

Of course I realise that offering technical and monetary support for the potential Linux port for years to come might be somewhat problematic.

I respect Jonathan Blow and his work a lot so obviously if one day he will decide to release his latest game to Linux, I will be glad to buy it!
Dead Cells, a roguelike and castlevania-inspired action-platformer looks amazing and heading to Linux

I like it because it looks kinda like Unepic!
