Total War: WARHAMMER II to release for Linux in 'early Autumn'
1 Aug 2018 at 8:06 pm UTC

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnd since we want Feral to continue doing well, and since doing a Total War game probably only has an opportunity cost of maybe a third of a different kind of game (because it's so quick and easy to do), I'm getting kind of tired of so many people whining about them taking their guaranteed revenue.
I understand all that, and I'm fine with it. But while I'm granting(*) the Total War players each and every port, grant me a little grumbling. :)

(*) (German: ) Ich habe keine gute Übersetzung für "gönnen" gefunden...?
Let me try to reply with my (puddle level) German

Deutsch ist ein nette Sprache , der sind so vielve Worte fur wann du ein nicht gutes Zeit habst.

(and yes I probably messed up the grammar badly :P)

Quoting: mcphailI'm hoping for a sale to pick this up on GOG. Someone has been working on experimental Galaxy integration for Linux multiplayer. I've made a snap, but haven't been able to test it yet. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/comet_galaxy_client_for_linux/post29 [External Link] .
Really cool the community is doing all that.
What i found more interesting , though off-topic , someone mentioned porting it to BSD. That's wow.

WORLD OF HORROR brings a retro cosmic horror RPG experience to Linux next year

Seems interesting.
The jump scare thing is pretty cheap so if they build horror and suspense it will definitely be worth a look.
My only minor gripe is the music. I guess it's an aesthetic decision , but to me sounds a bit too chiptuney for horror . Like it needs more voices or something .... dunno :S:

Hmm , if it offers quick play seems like a nice fit.
Wanted a quick RTS i can quickly power up and play.

And so it continues...

Total War: WARHAMMER II to release for Linux in 'early Autumn'

I have 100+ hours in Hearts of Iron and I am still crap at it.
Let's see how many hours i need to pour into Warhammer games to get them right :D

Open source Morrowind game engine OpenMW 0.44 released
31 Jul 2018 at 8:07 pm UTC

Quoting: Ananace
Quoting: GuestI decided to install it via flatpak. I was happy when I found out it was the newest version. I hope they keep it up to date.
I certainly have no plans on ceasing maintaining it. :)
That being said, it seems like we lost an appdata xml update in the process, so the flathub page incorrectly states that it's still 0.43.0

Quoting: GuestNot the same engine, but an upgraded version of it, yes. Theoretically, after they complete 1.0, they could decide to upgrade their project to support other Bethesda games like Oblivion, Skyrim, or the Fallouts.
There's a thread on the forum [External Link] that started back on the Ogre version, it's basically a proof-of-concept of loading Oblivion / Skyrim / Fallout content in OpenMW, so certainly far from an impossible thing to do.
If you're the one working on this project , thank you :)
Would be cool to see other Bethesda games running in OpenMW at a later date.

Abbey Games have announced Godhood, a simulation game where you create your own religion

Seems interesting enough.
Wonder how it will play though.
Reus was nice , but seemed to try to be a lot more than it was.

Quoting: x_wingSmells like black & white but without some fun parts (no sacrifices feature? What a shame!)
At 0:31 it says "spread sacrifice"
Or do you mean more direct control over followers ?

Detective adventure 'Lamplight City' is confirmed to be coming to Linux
31 Jul 2018 at 7:39 pm UTC

Dunno about this

Golden Wake seemed boring as hell to me because of the theme
Shardlight seemed mediocre at best - something just didn't gel well in that game

Single click interface with no inventory.
This is a good thing ? Sounds like they are trying to re-invent the wheel

Oh well , will wait and see.

Open source Morrowind game engine OpenMW 0.44 released
31 Jul 2018 at 5:37 pm UTC

I'm curios. Wasn't the same engine used for Oblivion ?
Could OpenMW theoretically run that as well with minor alterations ? OR would it need a huge overhaul ?

Still , cool this project is still going. Even if I did not play it at the time it came out , this one seems to be the Elder Scrolls game with the most depth.
