openage, an open source clone of the Age of Empires II engine

Quoting: MyeulCOh man, I hope it will be compatible with Star Wars galactic battlegrounds (+clone campaigns). I LOVED this game. Much more than any age of empires.
I see no reason why not, seeing as how from a technical perspective Galactic Battlegrounds was just a glorified Age of Kings TC anyway.

Both AoE 1 and 2 work reasonably well through Wine for me, although you need to start a seperate timidity session in order to have music play with the first one and the CPU load is suprisingly high when running both.

That being said, trying to play multiplayer always failed outright, so if they can get that working I will certainly be game.

Techland show how hilarious it is when a Linux port has no quality control with Dying Light (updated)

Quoting: melkemindIt reminds me of the original Torchlight port that came out of Humble Bundle years ago. Whenever you attached anything like a hat to the head of your character, the head would disappear.
Actually, I recall being headless without wearing a hat. It was all down to a single line buried somewhere in the code:

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLHatred isnt bad game. Look at users review on Steam. So If people did not protest against Postal, why they have to do with Hatred?
I think you will find that a lot of people did actually:

And lets keep the discussion of politics down to a minimum here please, at least when it veers outside the relevant realm of video game censorship.

Trine 3: The Artifacts Of Power Officially Available On SteamOS/Linux
8 Nov 2015 at 5:01 pm UTC

Trine 2 at the very least was designed to be played at 30 FPS.

While I have never had the highest of hopes for this one, I have picked it up from Humble Store seeing as how it is currently on sale and I really do owe Frozenbyte the benefit of the doubt.

I think I will wait and see what comes next week. Nothing against the bundle, but none of the current games really spark my interest.

Big thanks to amelcher for the ports and the input here of course.
