Diluvion, the deep-sea exploration game now has a Linux beta, but you might want to wait for a bit

They didn't even have a linux box to test until now ?
I don't mean to be an ass but if you want to deliver a product to a platform wouldn't you test it before rather than keeping your fingers crossed the engine does its thing , hit compile and then publish ?

Quoting: UltraVioletdoesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest
I started the game with my Steam Controller switched on and the game seemed to work just fine using it, despite there being no obvious option to select a controller.
no luck for me with a xbox 360 controller plugged in.

how much are steam controllers?
I payed like 46-47 euros for mine on a Steam sale if i recall. Don't remember if i payed shipping also or how much it was.
thanks for the info. i got some birthday money yesterday so i treated myself. looks a interesting controller
Hope you enjoy it.
Takes a bit of getting used to but I like it for Rocket League.

Everything, a game about experiencing, well, everything and it's now on Linux

Saw this and did not know what to make of it.
I STILL do not know what to bloody make of it.
Kudos to the devs for porting it to linux though.

Too bad Metro did not work.
Yes, play it on your own without watching videos/streams in advance!
Still have to play Burial at Sea, this reminds me...
I already had the ending kinda spoiled by an Extra Creditz episode , but want to see the build up to that point.

Honestly , I may get flack for this , but .... so what if we don't have the Galaxy client yet ?
Wasn't GOG's whole point classic and DRM free games ?
I know since they are adding more newer titles they are an alternative to Steam , but I don't really care about the Galaxy client when using gog. Maybe I am in the minority.

Linux gamers on Arch may want to hold off on updating due to openssl breaking some games (updated)
27 Apr 2017 at 8:31 pm UTC

Looking at bug 53618 seems priority is still marked as low and no resolution as of yet.
Don't really want to bother with work arounds.
Will hold off on upgrading for now.

Quoting: lejimsterArch can be a blessing and a curse.
Only felt the blessing so far , seems I was due for the curse. :(

OpenRCT2, an open source game engine for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTYes, the developer got it on Steam like one year ago and abandoned it shortly afterwards without giving any explanation he did and without explaining why after people found out about it. Maybe it would be time to clone his Git repo and start implementing missing features.
Well , if you have the skill , go for it :)
