Grow and modify an ecosystem with simulated evolution in 'Ecosystem' now on Kickstarter
19 Mar 2018 at 10:13 pm UTC

Looks a little bit like Framsticks [External Link] – a software written by my old university lecturer – for evolution simulation. But with nicer graphics and UI that does not require you to have a degree in CS and to learn its scripting language and internal “DNA” representation to operate it. ;-)

Might be interesting to play with.

Quoting: Shmerl
We released most of our games for Linux and Mac. Nevertheless, at this point, we do not want to promise something we might not be able to deliver. On the technology side, Iron Harvest is much more complex than our other games, for example because of the multiplayer features. Therefore, we are going to evaluate Linux/Mac versions as soon as we take a look at the consoles.
Also, according to Reddit [External Link] to them [f]or now "PC" means Windows 10 only, which smells quite like locking themselves into DX12 and/or Microsoft Store for UWP.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTFunny, the artworks look like they got inspired by the Board Game Scythe [External Link]!
The game is inspired by Jakub Różalski’s 1920 art series [External Link]. The Scythe board game was based on the same art, so one could say, they are both in the same setting. ;-)

*We are developing IH for PC first. The Kickstarter campaign and all Alpha/Beta builds will be PC-only. We’d like to gauge the level of interest in versions for other platforms.
Hmm… Does that include Linux PCs, or are they into the Microsoft all-world-round PC monopoly thingy?

I got all the achievements in Human Resource Machine. Can’t wait to fork and join my little parallel office minions.

Cattle and Crops, a farming simulation and management game that has Linux support

Ehh. I’d like to see one day a modern farm management sim similar to goo’ ol’ SimFarm from 1993. And not a combine-harvester driving simulator. I want to design and manage my farm and not do farm tractor racing, goddammit.

The Talos Principle going Fusion, Croteam dropping OpenGL & Serious Sam 4 still coming

Quoting: tuubiI can't say I care about Sam, but I'm looking forward to The Talos Principle 2. I think Croteam already confirmed they'll be working on a sequel or at least another first person puzzle game.
I’d pick a sequel to The Talos Principle too. Though I need to get back to the first game and finish it finally – I stopped somewhere at the beginning of cathedral levels and never got around to finishing them.

Eh, so many games started and never really completed. Life was easier in the Loki Software era.

Wine 3.0 RC3 is now available, brings even more bug fixes

Quoting: Krogash86The Elder Scrolls Online, is it wor6king ?
My girlfriend tried to play it on wine-staging 2.21 with nVidia GTX 1080 – and although it somehow worked, it was not playable due to graphics flickering.

According to winehq appdb this problem does not appear on AMD cards with Mesa, so supposedly it works OK there.

Speculation: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive might be getting a PUBG-like mode

I think an important part is the shrinking sphere inflicting damage. It all boils down to a small part of the map (the place of which is not initially known) - and even down to zero if nothing happens for some minutes in the minimal space.
So deathmatch with limited time (and place, in a clever way, but still, just limited time/place).

Steam has a special Finland Anniversary Sale of games made by Finnish developers

Quoting: EikeSuomi mainittu, torilla tavataan.
Google makes out of it:
Finland mentioned, see you at the marketplace.

Wut? :D
Apparently Finland being mentioned in any media is such a big event, that the whole country meets at the marketplace to celebrate it. ;-)
