A little redundant, yet this article has already spurred two more pages of support posts in the thread so I guess GOL has a lot of new readers?

I loved Incredible Toon Machine as a kid, but I'm a little sad the cat and mouse aren't in this edition. Their animations and sounds made a good part of the game's fun. Normally I'd be wary of buying this out of nostalgia, but one buck for two copies is kind of a no-brainer considering I can make that money back selling a few Steam trading cards.

Not sure what to expect from that teaser, but I'll keep an eye on this. I enjoyed the TV series.

@kokoko3k Follow the link to the Steam forum under the video.

The dev responded earlier today, after more than 40 messages of interest:

Quoting: Voo Foo StudiosHey, thanks for all your feedback and comments, which have been noted! So... we're looking into the feasibility of releasing the game on Linux! Stay tuned, we'll update you as there's any developments.

Quoting: SkiskiI just tried the game last week and my CPU (i5-2400 3.1GHz) can't handle the game. It was between 10 and 30 FPS. Could vulkan help the CPU and use more the GPU? Because my GTX 960 is more than enough for this game.

Err, I played the whole game through on an i3-6100 + GTX950. On openGL, never an issue.
Are you using the proprietary drivers?

Wouldn't a sixth-generation i3 fare better than a second-generation i5 with a CPU-bound game?

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, lots of people wanting to see this game or that game that were already ported to Linux in turn get ported to Vulkan for performance. For me, this is more a proof of concept; it demonstrates that it will be very good if future ports go to Vulkan rather than OpenGL. Generally I'd rather see Feral's energies go to new ports rather than makeovers for old ports.

Words of wisdom overall, but I think it would be worthwhile to give this treatment to a few other games in-between newer releases. I think Mad Max for example is a recent enough release/port and a big enough name that many people still haven't played it but intend to and will be more attracted to it if it has much better performance than previously. It could be especially useful for midrange gamers (hi) that would otherwise need to wait years for midrange hardware to catch up with a game's requirements. Of course, for older releases, that has already happened and boosting performance years after most people are done playing them wouldn't be as effective.

It will definitely be a powerful tool for Linux adoption if we can have new releases with near-simultaneous ports that run with competitive performance going forward.

I'm not a huge racing enthusiast, but this brings back memories of an arcade racing game I played as a kid. I could see myself using it as an occasional time-waster if I can grab it on sale.

What are the keys for if it's a public beta?

Probably not the kind of game I'd be very good at, but I'm impressed by the apparent depth of it and I like its style and sounds. I definitely need to give that soundtrack a listen as well.

Quoting: EikeSurprised by the reviews. Would have expected around 90%...

It's hard to overstate just how damn depressing that clown is. If the game's humor were better it might offset him, but I don't remember finding anything in the game more than mildly amusing, especially when so much of it is at the expense of a character. It's quirky in a way that could be charming but for me it felt awkward most of the way. I can't help but feel that while I could applaud Daedalic for succeeding in making Sadwick a sad and pitiful character as intended, I am more inclined to point out that not many people want a main character to be a pitiful self-defeatist that drags his feet through the whole adventure. I don't want to hate the game, but the protagonist really irks me.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroNow I hope they bring out Night of the Rabbit and a New Beginning - only two games of theirs I haven't played yet.

Night of the Rabbit would be great, I'm sure I'd like to replay it someday. Chains of Satinav too.
