Valve expand Steam Input to support more of the PS5 DualSense Controller

Quoting: subBtw, any recent rumours about a Steam Controller 2?
Just the Patent for what looked a new Controller they posted before they dropped support for the first steam controller. I thought there were reports of them canceling after the patent.

there is this..

But have not heard any comment from any Valve employees. They are oddly silent on the subject. Which if they were Apple would be a clue in itself.

But no one from Valve has said that it is cancelled so still hope.

I posted a RIP article on Linux Gamers group on facebook about the 25th of September
Someone said something that gave me hope that work was still being done but will see.

Would love a Steam Controller 2.

Escape Velocity: Override remaster Cosmic Frontier: Override gets funded
6 Aug 2020 at 10:49 am UTC

Kestrel looks awesome. The whole idea of making this platform agnostic means that you will be playing on maps developed by people running this on Mac or Windows or Linux.

Open GL or Metal only? Oh I think that Direct X was mentioned also.
Hopefully some options for multi player?

From his Kickstarter development news posts, looks like MIT License...

“Open Source: Progress towards the initial alpha version

The initial alpha version doesn't mean a playable version of Cosmic Frontier. Far from it. Sorry! It means a version of Kestrel that is feature complete enough, to begin building Cosmic Frontier properly. A lot of stuff already exists for Cosmic Frontier in one form or another, but much of it exists in various sandboxed environments from the "R&D" phase of development.

As mentioned above, the plan is to Open Source Kestrel in August. People will be able to start playing around with it and using it for their own purposes, or simply contributing to it in order to improve it or fix issues. Kestrel is going to be released under the MIT License.”

The Linux market share still appears to be rising
3 Jun 2020 at 12:39 pm UTC

So my attempts to use the NetMarketShare yield some interesting results

If I use the dates from 2016-5 to 2018-4 then I get a total linux share of 2.16 %

But if I use the dates 2018-6 to 2020-5 then I get a total linux share of 2.09 %

So this means linux share is increasing ??

Way of the Passive Fist, a rather colourful arcade brawler will have Linux support at release
27 Nov 2017 at 10:48 am UTC

Wondering if they base the moves on Way of the Exploding Fist. On C64 and Amiga.
Only fighting game I ever really got into. If it is a nod to Exploding fist I could buy. :)
