Actually, I'm talking spraff. It's out now. It's downloading after I bought it and I didn't opt into any beta. Don't know why this isn't on the front page of Steam (Linux section) to be honest. It all seems a bit under the radar. It's not even listed in the specials??

It's also 80% off on Steam right now, for two more days: so it's £3.60 (less than a pint of lager) rather than £18. Looks like it's launching officially in a couple of days.

Not sure how that dropped off the list, Speedster... it's one of my favourite crowd funding projects right now!

You know, in fact it's a little embarrassing how many of these projects I've backed now. Tyrim, Pulsar, Raindrop, Mandate, Skyjacker, Solar Games, Xulima, Long Dark... goddam. That's about $100 right there! And those are just the ones from this issue!

Quoting: Quote from toorOne single man doing everything on a game that pretend being beautiful, large, and fun to play with lot of features? Let me doubt it. Would take years and years

 
Technically it's a two man team, but everything you see so far has been Cyril's work over the past 12 months after leaving his work (French studio Monte Christo) to set up his own Indie. Yeah, it could be risky endeavour - $40k only stretches so far after all, but look at those videos, showing what he's already achieved ON HIS OWN! I think it's worth a $25 punt if it's your kind of game.

Input lag on Valve games is often fixed by simply turning off the Steam Overlay. Probably not a great option on a multi-player game like L4D2 though! I'm lucky that I get perfect performance in Ubuntu with that game. Most games in fact. I hope it gets fixed for you. Probably not too late to file a bug on github [External Link].

As for the next game, I'm really, really hoping for Portal 2. CSGO would be nice too, but most of my friends have moved on from that game, so a quality single-player experience in Portal 2 would be superb.

I didn't expect that to be honest. Good news. Looking forward to playing that too - Wasteland and Shadowruns were two of the first projects I helped Kickstart!

That was some of the best voice acting I've heard in ages. That trailer gave me the chills. Dublin beckons this weekend, but I think I'm buying this for my return. Superb.

Well that's us live now (and it's been live for about 17 hours now) : http://steamcommunity.com/app/234650/discussions/0/810938082707457467/?insideModal=1#c810938807833460026 [External Link]

Obviously, it's still in beta though, so if there's any issues, feed them back to the Devs.

Quoting: Quote from lainiwakujust finished it 2 days ago, on windows, too late linux ....

I've started taking a real hard line on using Windows over the past six months or so, and as of August this year, gave it up completely. I might still boot into Windows in the future, perhaps for Thief 4 if reviews show that it lives up to its legacy, but you know, I might not. There's so many awesome games coming along on Ubuntu now that I'm not sure I'll bother.

It's not available yet anyway on our platform yet, as it turns out. Lots of folk complaining that it's not actually downloading anything, even after the beta is enabled. One or two reports of success, but the majority are locked out. Apparently down to "propogation issues" which may just sort themselves out over the next day or two. Fingers crossed.

Quoting: Quote from HmmmThe game sucks anyway

That's a compelling argument you make there. However, it would seem 170 positive reviews on Metacritic by players would disagree. Even the press swayed in favour of 8's and 9's with a few mixed bags thrown in, as is a critic's want. But not a single negagive critics review - that's pretty impressive.

I'm gonna give it a chance.
