Try out the new world generation in a Caves & Cliffs: Part II test for Minecraft

Looks like some cliffs are stuck in anti-gravity fields.

Apogee Entertainment surprise releases Secret Agent HD, a remaster of the 90s classic

This sure looks similar to (how I remember) Duke Nukem 1 and 2; probably the same engine. Looks like GOG doesn't have *any* Duke Nukem games, surprisingly.

System76 has launched Pop!_OS 21.04 with the new COSMIC desktop

Quoting: Orkultusfirst glance it looks like Mac OS, or windows 11, with that icon bar
LOL, my first thought on seeing Windows 11 screenshot was that they copied COSMIC (I think they showed that design before Win11 builds were out?).

Quoting: KohlyKohlDash to Panel has limited real-estate and you quickly end up with hidden icons that you have to scroll horizontally to access.
Do you have a small screen, tons of favorites, or just tons of running apps? I've never seen that here, but it seems like you could mitigate it by specifying everything be on the left or right, with no center section.

Also, I can't remember it ever crashing on me; perhaps that is related to your "hidden icons" state.

Magical comedy point & click adventure Plot of the Druid is up on Kickstarter

Quoting: crabelthe recently released Backbone was the exception
Been ignoring this one since the release, since there's no Linux build yet. But now I see all the bad reviews, complaining how it's nothing like the Prologue... :-(

So for me, it's a bit like Insomia - a bit annoyed that there's still no Linux build (since that is the reason I backed, and it's nearly 3 years since the Windows release now), but given the poor reviews I'm not sure I'm missing a lot.

Much worse than that was "One Final Breath" which never even bothered to give backers any keys (and of course Kickstarter couldn't be bothered about it). Not only no Linux release that was promised, but NO KEYS AT ALL for even the Windows release. But the reviews on it are incredibly bad, so...

Valve looks to be overhauling Steam Library folders to finally make them more useful

If they are going to list the games installed there, it would be nice to have sorting options, or at least sort by amount of disk space used. Date last played might be another useful sorting option, when you are looking to free up some space.

Creative Assembly in pre-production for the next Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

It looks like it's getting review bombed on Steam because "it's been abandoned". I didn't watch the video or read any details other than what Liam wrote here, but that seems pretty harsh - every game stops getting updates at some point, and the reviews were quite positive previously.

GZDoom 4.6.0 rolls out with widescreen graphics for Heretic and Hexen

Quoting: Avehicle7887Been playing Blade of Agony lately, solid 10/10 commercial quality grade game.
I've only had a chance to play the first half-dozen levels or so, but I must say they did a fine job on it.

Humble Bundle plan to put the much loved sliders back on bundle pages

I suspect most people never change the defaults, so just set the defaults to the "desirable" settings, and let those who wish to customize do so?

Proton Experimental gets upgraded, Forza Horizon 4 playable and Origin Overlay works
24 Apr 2021 at 3:34 am UTC

Quoting: fagnerlnThis game worked on the past because it used DX11, after some updates they cut off the DX11 version, now it runs only DX12
Ah, so that's not really a Proton problem, but rather that the game itself changed. It's the game developers that removed / broke support for users without DX12. No less frustrating for you, but hardly a reason to complain about Proton development.
