Become the cleaner for government assassins in 'Nobodies' and destroy all evidence, out now

No idea how this game is, but I have to say that's one of the more original concepts I've heard in a while. That would be great as a "hitman" style title...

Pre-Alpha is already available on Linux. It's also developed 100% on Linux using open source software.
Wow, looks like a lot of fun!

I know that it's asking too much, but...
It should have space legs.
When you play games like X4: Foundations, Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky where you can leave your ship, so that you intuitively feel that you are a person and not a weird spaceship creature, you barely can go back to the ship games. I hope more games adopt this approach.
I don't know. As a loooong time space combat fan who wanted forever to get out of the ship and walk around, now having done so in a few titles, after the novelty wore off, I'm now like, "how do I get back in as quickly as possible?" :) Basically, until there's something more compelling to do out of the ship, it'll still be all about the cockpit...

Quoting: TheSHEEEP
Quoting: BeamboomAre there any games out now that do a good job in showcasing this engine from a modern (not retro) perspective?
Not gonna happen anytime soon, I'm afraid.
Godot is still lacking in some vital departments required for really modern 3D gaming.
So, for we gamers who know near nothing about development, do you think the Godot hype is just wishful hoping on our part right now, or is there real promise here?

Quoting: sigzthere was a time we got one or two AAA titles on a year.. Looks like since proton is a thing there is no more heavy ports (Did feral gave up too ?)
But Proton gave us, like, hundreds (thousands?) of AAA titles in one fell swoop, more than we'd get in a lifetime of porting of AAA titles to Linux otherwise. Like it or not, for now, it's our AAA future and, after that, streaming gaming... We'll be fine.

Manjaro Linux 18.1.0 'Juhraya' has been officially released

All great news. I used to distro-hop all the time, but for the last year and a half or so I've converted all of my machines to Manjaro and have been thrilled. It's been rock solid stable for me, and it's a terrific community as well.
