Linux gaming overlay MangoHud levels up with a new release

Quoting: scaineit's a build script that installs manually

I just discovered that mangohud and goverlay are both in the default Fedora repos now; sweet! No vkbasalt, though.
Humble Cities: Skylines Bundle adds two more DLC

I was wondering why After Dark had been left out; I'm glad they corrected that!
Total War Saga: TROY is now a 12 month Epic Games Store exclusive

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoBut if Feral has the publishing rights for MAC and Linux, they can publish it anyway. Only the Windows version will be Epic Store exclusive.

As I recall, Feral does release their games on the Apple Store, and presumably they could also list the Mac version in the Epic Store (whether they do or not will be interesting to see). So it's just the Linux version getting shut out, unless Feral decides to sell it elsewhere. Wouldn't that be something if you could buy it on the Feral site and get a Steam key, even though the Windows version wasn't there? ;)
The Humble Indie Bundle 21 launches to mark the tenth anniversary

Let's hope the extra games added next week are good; I would have skipped this one if not for Starbound, as I already had the rest (except for Hypnospace Outlaw - I'm surprised it's so highly reviewed, when judging by the screenshots).

Too bad you can no longer customize which games get your money. At least I could zero out the Humble Tip in favor of the EFF and GOL. ;-)
The FOSS real-time strategy 0 A.D. gains FXAA, more animals and a lot more ready for Alpha 24

Quoting: AvikarrThis game is amazing! Are there more high-quality opensource games like this (not specifically RTS, any genre will do)?

I've enjoyed FreeCiv and Battle for Wesnoth.
Valve adds a 'Play Next' shelf in Steam to remind you of all those games you've never played

Oh great, a shelf of shame, that will collapse under its own weight. LOL! I was surprised to find the recommendations to be pretty good, though. Goodbye Deponia is high on the list, which is only a false positive because I played the GOG version of that one (back before it had a native Linux version!), while the others I played through Steam.

Off topic: is "Bartleby Lawnjelly" a real name?!?
A look over all the goodies on sale (and free) for Linux gaming fans this weekend

Quoting: JJNovaPretty disappointed the newer Metro games don't have linux ports

Supposedly coming? Would have been nice if they had it ready when it came to Steam, since it was on EGS for a while first, but better late than never, I guess.

Merging elements from XCOM and HOMM 'Fort Triumph' is out now - some thoughts
17 April 2020 at 6:22 am UTC
Quoting: KimyrielleFiraxis used Aspyr to port their games.

Aspyr did the Civ games, but Feral did the XCOM games. Looks like this new game is a smaller / cheaper one; maybe Feral didn't think there was much profit in it?
