Quoting: ArdjeOk, this has me wondering about another thing: I want to limit certain games for viewing by others on my game list...
There will always be people that judge you for certain games you own...

MAybe copy the contents out of the steam folder and try running it without steam.
Think you can make your profile private and hide the game but don;t quote me on that. I think Valve can hide/remove a game if you really do not want it .

Quoting: GuestSpeaking of which, now that I think about it, since when did rpgmaker games have linux support? I'm pretty sure they didn't back when this game was made at least... hmm..

Latest one RPG Maker VX Ace MV has export to Linux.
I have it but have not gotten around to playing with it ,

There is also EasyRPG that tries to make an engine to play them and it can be compiled on Linux.

Quoting: razing32Am curious how limited this is compared to other game editors.
Guessing it's just for simplistic arcade games ?

I believe it's limited to 2D games only, but other than that, virtually any type/genre of game should be possible to create within it. The visual/event driven programming isn't really a limiting factor in that regard.

Games like;

• The Next Penelope [External Link] (Top-down racer made w/ Construct)


• Enviromental Station Alpha [External Link] (Metroidvania)


• Wild Light [External Link] (2D Minecraft clone)


• The Escapists [External Link] (Prison Escape Simulator)


• Fading Suns Noble Armada [External Link] (Real-time tactical space shooter)

Were created with the equivalent engines mentioned in the article (Clickteam and Construct), so GDevelop should be just as capable and versatile.

It's definitely more limited compared to the Godot engine, but for those who don't know a programming language, it's almost certainly the best option available on Linux at the moment. :)

GamesFromScratch does a more in-depth video on GDevelop here [External Link], if you're interested.

Thanks for the examples. Seems interesting.
I've had Game from Scratch bookmarked for literal YEARS. Sadly never got around to watching his vids. :(

Quoting: liamdaweIf I had that case, my rabbit would get very confused and probably attempt to chew the crap out of it :D

My poor hoody [External Link].

How many pets do you and Sin have ?
Didn;t you have rats at one point also ? Think i saw a cage in one of her livestreams.

Quoting: EhvisUsing their own engine seems to be causing them a few issues. I remember way back when I bought this, it failed to start after an system upgrade. Apparently it didn't like a newer version of libc and getting it to load an older one took some tinkering. I don't think the cause was the same is the one listed above because it got fixed eventually, but it shows they've been doing some odd things in their engine.

I remember the DXVK creator mentioning how Frostpunk, their other game, is an absolute mess on a bug report so it seems they haven't gotten any better.

I was hoping for that at one point.
Well, guess hope no more.

I'm still holding hope they'll eventually add a campaign of sorts.
Would be nice to have some lore to go with the world.

Hmm , there is this thing in MMOs. Usually they start out with a subscription/one-time-pay model.
They go like that for a while.
When things look bad they switch to free to play and about one or two years after that they are dead.
I know this is not technically an MMO , but still , warning signs are there from the poor performance, unsatisfied customer base and switch to free model.

Quoting: NanobangWeird. I couldn't remember this game being released, so I did a quick search at Steam, and nothing came up acually called "Silver." Silver Frame, Silver Tale, Silver Island, Silver Grapple, Silver Bullet: Prometheus, (and on the web: Silver Creek Falls (Chapters 1,2, & 3)), but no just Silver. Do you suppose it's a regional thing?

Steam search is a mess for me also recently .

With that issue in mind, I hesitate to say it's playable. It doesn't break the game, but it doesn't look good either.

Well , in the strictest sense of the word , it is playable.
Let's go with the wine rating and say "Silver" ? :)

While I like the idea of streaming Windows games form inside a Linux PC it would hurt the linux market and devs would stop porting and just tell people to stream it.
Honestly , if games move to Streaming as a model it's end of the line.
A lot of old games get harder to run on news OSes , then you have things like online activation servers or play servers , but you could work around those if fans make a back engineered server.
If we move full on to streaming games will only exist in the ether as a brief thing for a few years before a company shuts them down completely and permanently.
