2D indie platform brawler 'Super Powered Battle Friends' is now up on Steam and itch.io
20 May 2019 at 6:31 pm UTC

It's under a tenner now (£9.25), I did pledge on Kickstarter, sad they didn't make the cut. I believe it's gonna be a good native brawler for Linux :D

Can you recommend some good tutorials?

This guy (Nathan) is pretty good (mostly 2d I believe):

He also has a website with full-fledged tutorials. - https://www.gdquest.com/

Gamesfromscratch is also a good resource:

Team Fortress 2, long time player (used to play a lot, now sporadically), and still love it (when the games are fairly balanced).

My thoughts on how Feral or Aspyr are gonna be hit by this are that, maybe instead of full fledged ports they could offer a services that helps tweak the game to work with proton?

Plenty devs will give it a go, and if the game already runs reasonably well, but need tweaking, they could hire those companies to do so, since they have the experience.

Quoting: scaineI'm most concerned that this encourages devs to simply do DX again and is the death of Vulkan.

DXVK is there to translate from DX to Vulkan, and it's a key element for Proton to work, if there are more Dx titles means DXVK, and by effect, Vulkan are necessary so I find it unreasonable to think this would diminish Vulkan?

Prepare a glass for some more Wine as DXVK 0.62 is out with possible performance improvements

If I'm not mistaken, you need the nvidia drivers 396.24.10 (396.24.0 will not work) to get those actual speed improvement, and If I'm not mistaken those are beta drivers.

So I'll be patiently waiting till nvidia releases the newer stable driver.

Premiere (Video editing)

For image editing, we already have GIMP & Krita
For video work, Premiere and After Effects are hard to beat. I just hate Adobe's subscription model. I know there are several video editing suites for Linux, such as Cinelerra and kdenlive, but I don't have enough experience with any of them to say if they're a good alternative to Premiere.

I think kdenlive holds quite good against Premiere, might be missing fancy things, but you can really do all the editing grunt with it (which is really what Premiere and this kind of software should be used for).

The only software that has no alternative is After Effects, it's not like other software could achieve similar results, it's how damn easy they make it to achieve that result (plus there is a heck ton of plugins).

Theme park building game 'Parkitect' beta 6 is out, continues to be amazing

I do enjoy this game, but have missed some of the updates, does the roller coaster got an auto-complete or something that makes that easier?

I struggled too much to get the actual track to match the station/initial bit.

Quoting: 1xokEDIT: Actually, it's normal, because they had announced that the 2.21 will be the last staging package for the 2er Realese. But the 3.1 should appear again.

Could you point to any source that proves that?

On the Sebastian Lackner topic, I read on Reddit he's busy developing videogames, thus he's stepping down from the wine-staging maintainer position.
