You can now fulfil your dream of dungeon crawling as a mermaid

I never thought this day would come. :)

Seriously though, looks like a bit of fun. Might be one I pitch to the kids!

Quoting: Tchey

Quoting: scaineI'd never heard of Vintage Story.

Actually there is a short presentation here on GoL : https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/vintage-story-a-beautiful-survival-and-building-game-on-linux.12737

So there is! It's not like me to not read literally every single article on this site... but October has been pretty challenging for me - lots of personal stuff going on (mostly good - birthdays and suchlike) and I've overlooked this one.

Already wishlisted it earlier, looking forward to trying out the demo. This looks great.

Quoting: TcheyIf you like Minecraft, you should watch "Vintage Story". I'm playing it this month, and it's really nice. It offers some similarities of course, but more depth, more survival, slower progression, different features. I didn't feel addict to a game like this since Minecraft-pre-success (it was still in alpha i think when i played last time, before the big boom).

I'd never heard of Vintage Story. Fully brand new engine, cross platform, fully-realised game world. Looks pretty goddam amazing. And only 10 pounds/euros... very enticing. I might have to dip into this a bit.

Quoting: GuestOn a side note, there was a 3D game with a very similar mechanic, but I can't remember the name. Dose anyone know it?

Maybe you're thinking of Hack 'n' Slash or else Heart.Break()?

Both were very good games, and this one looks very interesting too.

No, it was first person. Thank you for the recommendations though. I'll add these to "Da' List"

That would be Glitchspace, which is now free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/290060/Glitchspace/ [External Link]

Unless it's this one, that I was thinking of when I watched that trailer:

Dunno if it's really worth £15, but I really enjoyed the game. Recommended.

Quoting: g000hWell, I've been playing demanding titles like Shadow Warrior 2 (Wine), Serious Sam 3 BFE, Killing Floor 2 (Proton/Wine), RUST, Dying Light, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider (2013), Mad Max, Skyrim (Proton/Wine), 7 Days To Die, Blades of Time (Proton/Wine), Dead Island Definitive Edition, Immortal Redneck, Ziggurat, Hitman - all at 4K.

Curious that you got KF2 to work in Proton/Wine? I bought the game on sale to give it a shot, but ran into this bug [External Link], which resets all perks to zero at the end of earning any experience. I refunded it on the same day I bought it, with 45 minutes played.

If it weren't for that bug, I'd still be playing it right now - great performance and no visual issues at all that I could see. The game played perfectly... it just threw away all my experience at the end of each run.

Are you playing online? And if so... how?

Haha - you can all argue what a core is until you're blue in the face! 180 polled individuals in Liam's little twitter survey think it's a CPU, while around 180 think it's a Core.

Seriously though, who cares??

I wonder if Canonical will ever release overall desktop numbers, rather than just stats collected. I'd just like to know how many Ubuntu desktops exist (that aren't virual/test machines). That would be cool.

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoThere is an annoying issue on PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2019... The game crashes every time it connects to the online server.

Anything related to online play is probably this bug. I'm hoping for it to be fixed so that I can sink several hundred hours into Killing Floor 2, shamelessly ignoring my previous disdain for the way Tripwire treated us loyal penguins.

I'm shallow like that, some times.

Well, fabertawe seemed to enjoy it on keyboard and mouse, but I can't vouch for the experience personally. I've only ever played it with a controller. Considering its low price perhaps you could give it a go on Steam and you can refund it if it doesn't work out for you?

Finally, you have a spin attack which you activate by spinning the thumbstick.

Well I never knew that! Probably because I play with keyboard and mouse.

Great game, recommended.

Whaaaa? There's an early level that puts you in a water-suit and you literally can't complete the level unless you spin through the rock. The game gives you huge hints ("Maybe there's another way you can burrow through rock?") if you can't figure it out. How did you get past that??

I can't imagine playing this on the keyboard/mouse to be honest. It's such a nice feel on the controller, and like I say, Q-Games are very focused on the console experience!
