Will anyone be referring to these as "boomer racers"?

Still hoping this gets hacked into Proton (and by extension SteamOS) in place of the current global FSR.

I've given up trying to play it and uninstalled. I also get the texture loading stuff, and performance on my RTX3060 is rubbish, even with lower settings.

The handheld PC market is quite crowded. I think they'd do better with a big box console form factor as their first target hardware for this.

Man, are they ever going to repair that damn sword?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualThis is the first time I've heard of this game, but it looks quite cool. I'm famously bad at point-and-click adventures, but it looks good. When it comes out on GOG, I might buy it.

Very interesting usage of LLM tooling. I wonder what the benefits are; it almost seems more costly and more work to do it the way they're doing it.

QuoteIt will have full Linux support too, as confirmed by the developer.

We'll see.

Previously, Previously, Previously, ...

None of your Previouslys are games from this company. All Revolution's games published / remastered since 2010 have had Linux support. Two of them even had Kickstarters.

Beyond a Steel Sky
Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse
Broken Sword: Director's Cut (which is the one being remastered here)
Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror (the remaster)

Just to clarify Microsoft's official stance on Proton support. When the Steam Deck launched they said they would leave it to their various studios to decide for themselves if they wanted to support it. So they are not encouraging or discouraging it either way.

I am hoping this extends to Vulkan support though, since studios like iD were all in on Vulkan.

Quoting: ssj17vegetaIs cheating that prevalent that it requires putting a cumbersome bloatware in your game ?

Ohhh yeah. Not only prevalent, but also big business. Companies actually sell cheats. In games like this it is often used by gold/resource farmers, again to make money off it.

Quoting: Liam DaweThere's been loads that have adjusted their games, fixed problems, improved performance and implemented features for Steam Deck. I've been covering it constantly for 2 years. I suggest you hit the Steam Deck tag and go back and look.

On that topic, the Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator that released this week has the Steam Deck on-screen keyboard hook implemented, which is something a developer has to manually add in. So that gives me hope for the game itself at least being looked at on the Steam Deck, despite the fact that they only seem to be targeting 30fps on the consoles.

Quoting: LoudTechieThis is too good to be true.
After the release of the Steam Deck I've seen nobody blunt their teeth on either Linux or Steam Deck support. I've seen developers aiming to become Steam Deck verified, but support, no.
This would be the first in nearly a decade to try it.
They will fail.
I don't know what will make it hard, but although they might get it working they won't be able to consistently support it.
Also they're way too optimistic with this roadmap.
38 features in a year for one game.
Yeah some overlap, but nah won't happen.

They did not say they were doing a Linux port. It'll just be optimisations and usability fixes like font size and gamepad stuff.
