Some thoughts on ‘Sky Break’, the futuristic open-world game that wasn’t all that great

Nice atmosphere. Remembers me a lot on Phantasy Star Online. Don't have played it much yet. There seems to be a segfault when you quit the game. This indicates unclean programming.
I absolute don't get this memory of Phantasy Star Online when I watch videos from NMS. NMS is a no atmosphere Game for me. It does not take me. I hope that Elite: Dangerous appears for Linux some day.
Also I hope they will make Sky Break even better. Because the atmosphere they have done great. It is certainly not one of the games that one plays hundreds of hours. But I like it.
Just my personal view.

Using Nvidia's NVENC with OBS Studio makes Linux game recording really great

I need some header files from the SDK. But maybe they are come from other sources on your system.

Quoting: KithopYeah, just an FYI - if you're on a Debian-derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) and want proper ffmpeg packages?I also had to download the NVIDIA SDK I remember:
apt-get source ffmpeg
tells you you should instead run:
git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/ffmpeg.git
Then you just add '--enable-nonfree' and '--enable-nvenc' to the debian/rules file, and run:
debuild -us -uc -b
optionally, you can also add -j4 or -j8 for a multithreaded build
That will give you nice .deb packages in the parent directory you can just dpkg -i :) None of this clobbering system packages with manual ./configure && make && sudo make install ... that way lies pain. Lots and lots of pain.
Similarly, while their repo is out-of-date, after you've added OBS Studio's PPA, it's just:
apt-get source obs-studio
cd into folder
debuild -us -uc -b
And voila, obs-studio.deb - their other install instructions however have a bit different method, but in the end they do actually properly build and register a package in apt, so whatever, it's all good.
(and don't forget toapt-mark hold obs-studio!)

Just bought and tested briefly. Graphics and atmosphere reminds me on Phantasy Star Online. 
That's why I like it from the first moment. Simple but nice game-play. Good and exciting for kids, I think. With the highest graphics settings I come to a GPU utilization of 40% with my GTX 970 (resolution 1920x1080).
EDIT: Tested under Xubuntu 16.4 with nvidia driver 367.57.
