This War of Mine to get a second story DLC with The Last Broadcast, releasing next month (UPDATED)

Of course this may also just be one side of the company not knowing what the other side is doing. Not an uncommon occurrence.

Using their own engine seems to be causing them a few issues. I remember way back when I bought this, it failed to start after an system upgrade. Apparently it didn't like a newer version of libc and getting it to load an older one took some tinkering. I don't think the cause was the same is the one listed above because it got fixed eventually, but it shows they've been doing some odd things in their engine.

No Brakes Games have discontinued Linux support for Human: Fall Flat

Quoting: MicromegasMaybe it's necessary to create a small section on this site where incidences like this are collected and listed and easy to find so that people can quickly check whether a developer ever dropped the support for his games? If there is a sales section there could also be a "commemoration" section for games and developers who "left" us.
A certain maintainer of a certain site might just be doing that. :D

Edit: Ugh. Too slow!

Edit 2: It's not properly linked in the wiki "Games lists" though.

Sounds to me like the game isn't finished yet and that the QA effort is too much for the Linux version. Even though the game is not in early access!

And as usual in this list, Oxygen Not Included is only -45% if you own other Klei games. If not, then it's -25%.

Wine 3.19 is out with improved 32bit .NET on 64bit and plenty of fixes

Quoting: GuestInstalling .NET redists on any Wine prefix is my worst nightmare right now. Out of like 50 attempts over the last month I succeeded twice.
And if it does, most things I tried don't really work well. Considering the install size of .NET, why did it ever become a thing? Who wants to deal with that.

Quoting: ShmerlThe last remaining milestone for it now is Mesa landing transform feedback patches.
And for a wealthy few, inclusion in the 410 drivers. :D

Exapunks is great. Typical solid Zachtronics game. Still need to sit down and make something in the TEC Redshift though.

Lutris 0.4.21 is out to help you manage all your gaming needs on Linux

Quoting: GuestSo say you have a game installed, and the person maintaining the script updates it to take advantage of newer versions of WINE etc for better performance, will the script be automatically updated to make use of it?
It doesn't. But I did ask about something like that in the Lutris discord channel last week and it was agreed that an "update" feature would be a useful thing. So it may come at some point in the future.
