Powerless is quite possibly one of the worst FPS games I've ever played

"oh no". That was what I thought when I saw this game pass by a while ago. Apparently a correct judgement.

The excellent puzzle game Opus Magnum is now available on GOG

Quoting: ValckAny insights into why GoG would deny a request to sell the game?

Especially since this is probably the most polished game Zachtronics has done to date. My only reasonable guess would be that they tried to get it approved during the early access period and that gog only wanted to approve it after the final release.

Maybe someone should re-gift it to Samsai so he can stream in again. :whistle:

Quoting: KimyrielleAre there any decent (and free) asset libraries for this engine out there? I can code well enough, but I am artistically challenged.

As someone completely void of any artistic ability, I've found that even asset libraries can't help me. :D

Voxel Tycoon, a new strategy game about transportation, building factories, and mining will come to Linux

So back in the 90s they managed to show the ground with angled surfaces so that the game wouldn't look so blocky. Yay for 25 years of progress?

Survival game Rust is to finally leave Early Access

Quoting: ElectricPrismIn many cultures it's common to find outright prejudice against nudity while completely accepting deplorable acts of graphic violence.

From the Southpark movie: "Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!". It's a bit sad that 20 years changed nothing.

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem (previously Umbra) will not have a Linux version during alpha or beta

I've always found the CryEngine choice a bit worrisome for a potential Linux release. It made me view this one as an "I'll see what happens" game.

Quoting: GuestOn Wikipedia's Vulkan Games article I read that there is a Vulkan Version in development. Is this true for Linux as well?

I never tried, but it if the Unity version is high enough, a "-force-vulkan" could work.

Quoting: tuubiIn the credits of Tacoma I assume? Was he involved in any other ports last year?

I have no idea how I managed to forget to type that little detail. Rectified!

For favourite porter I voted for Knockout games because I found Aaron Melcher's name in the credits of Tacoma for Linux/Mac programming. I hadn't even heard that he was involved before then, so I decided to reward the work done completely out of the spotlight. Seems I was the only one.
