Mark of the Ninja: Remastered announced by Klei with a brief teaser (updated)
28 Mar 2018 at 8:44 pm UTC

Quoting: rea987Remaster for a 2012 title, is that really necessary? How about much much older titles?
Does Klei have many older titles to remaster? :huh: According to Steam it looks like their oldest game is from 2010.

The Little Ball That Could is a rather great marble platformer that's now out on Linux

Oh man, those little spheres with hearts on them…it's a bunch of Companion Edgeless Safety Cubes! :D Definitely gonna give that demo a try.

Europa Universalis IV: Rule Britannia now available, doesn’t really rock the boat
22 Mar 2018 at 9:03 pm UTC

Just picked it up, and had an idea for an "Only British Boats Allowed!" campaign: first, take over the British isles, then conquer every bit of land that touches an ocean in the world! Only we may have boats! :D

Schrödinger's text
Ha! Love it. :D

I mean, I'm glad it's fixed, I just love the name. ^_^

It’s a straightforward system that lets you customize your leaders but I can’t really say that it adds that much to the game.
Ah, the eternal Paradox balancing problem: :)

DLC systems have a small effect on the game:
"Why are you charging this much money for this DLC???"

DlC systems have a large effect on the game:
"Why are you locking this content behind a paywall???"

I'll probably pick this up the next time I get the urge to get back in to HoI IV.

Quoting: KimyrielleI don't regret giving them my money back in early alpha!
Same here, this is definitely one of the best games I've helped Kickstart. :)

Europa Universalis IV: Rule Britannia to be released March 20

I'd probably get it just for the Anglicanism alone—I'm a huge sucker for having the maximum number of moving parts in my history simulations, even if I'm off playing on the other side of the world. :D

Then again, maybe it's time to go for an achievement run with England, could be interesting and challenging to play historically and give up my land on the continent while colonizing the Americas and Australia and conquering India. Could also be amusing to ally with random backwards nations on the other side of the world and spread institutions to them; maybe pick a Great Lakes nation in Africa and see if I can't turn them into Wakanda. :D Or I could instead try to force France in a personal union…hmmm, so many choices! :D

Mulaka, an action-adventure game based on the culture of the Tarahumara could see Linux support

Renowned for their impressive running abilities[…]
Well, seems like the perfect fit for a video game protagonist then! :D

I'm also really digging that art style. I just don't think I'd be good enough at third-person platforming to be able to play this… :S:

Huh, a very interesting concept for a racing game. :huh:

Quoting: devland"split-screen online" is something we need to see more often. :)
Yeah, that's a really cool feature! :)
