I have been trying out Wyrmsun. It is a great Warcraft II style free/open source RTS.

Congratulations to the OpenMW team! Awesome work. Another massive step forward for the project. Hopefully OpenMW can become to the RPG modding community what GZDoom is for retro FPS modders.

That video definitely gave me some flashbacks to the original Alone in the Dark.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall continues living with Daggerfall Unity
15 May 2020 at 5:03 am UTC Likes: 2

Good to hear that they are making more progress on this very cool project. For some of us, Daggerfall was the first RPG that we loved. I started playing it back when it came out in 1996. It was a very buggy, but amazing game, for its time. Hopefully now a new generation of gamers will appreciate this old gem -- and play it natively on Linux.

Check out the "DREAM" texture pack to see what Daggerfall can now look like in the year 2020:

Good to hear that they are making progress on this project. I tried it about a year ago and it ran great (other than a few crashes when loading saved games).

Epic Games acquires Quixel with its enormous library of 3D and 2D assets

Are there any totally free asset packs available anywhere for use in FOSS type projects? I've created some seamless textures for an upcoming project, but these are all lower quality images (256 by 256 pixels) that I've made from my own nature hike photos.

I already use four browsers (Chromium, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome). I really do not need a fifth. Sorry, M$. =P

Godot Engine continues advancing Vulkan support, adopts new Code of Conduct
5 Nov 2019 at 4:20 am UTC Likes: 3

I am curious about what sets the Godot Engine apart from other similar engines. I see that it is free and open source, which is nice. However, there are other interesting 3d engines that are also "FOSS" (e.g. Gzdoom, OpenMW, Babylon.js, etc). For anyone that has used it, why did you use Godot over some of the other options available?

I am a hobbyist programmer that has developed two Electron apps that I use daily. I have an idea for a 3d game project that I want to get around to working on eventually. So I am in the process of trying to select an engine. :)

What have you been playing this week and what are you clicking on this weekend?

Not playing much, just a few random "indie" games with native Linux versions: Immortal Redneck, Slipstream, and The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human.

Yeah, I love ProtonDB. It is a great resource to have, especially during a Steam sale. :D
