Voxel-smashing exploration shooter 'Smith and Winston' adds local co-op, continues being awesome

I was waiting for the co-op update, the big chunk explosions look amazing. Just got it on itch!

The Humble Curve Digital Bundle is out with four nice Linux games

Serial Cleaner is a really fun game, worth way more than a dollar.

I might just get this to see if Stikbold works for me with Proton, I could always use a new silly local multiplayer game.

Dicey Dungeons, the unique in-development roguelike from Terry Cavanagh has a major update

Quoting: KlaasThat's weird. The itch.io version runs without any problems on Arch Linux.

ldd diceydungeon reports only a small amount of libraries, so it might be worth checking their versions:
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd29bdb000)
libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fca400ad000)
libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fca400a8000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fca3ff19000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fca3fd94000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fca3fd7a000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fca3fbb6000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fca4234d000)
I'm running SteamOS beta, got past one error regarding the version of libstdc++ by copying a newer one from a friend, but the file the game is looking for (lime.ndll) is in the game folder itself and can't find it.

Terry replied on discord, he's aware of the issue on the itch version but doesn't have a solution for it yet. He said that getting a refund and waiting until is fixed is an option, but considering that a steam key will be provided once the game is finished, I can be patient and let him keep my money ;-)

Quoting: Klaas
Quoting: scaineI purchased on Itch, and noticed recently that it wouldn't start on that platform.
What is the problem? I haven't noticed anything. Do you use the client?
The error message I'm getting (just bought it on itch today) is something to do with not finding lime: "Could not load module lime@lime_application_create__prime". I tried running it through the itch app and running directly from the command line (same files, not the separate download). Based off of the bug report section of the dicey discord, there are at least a few other people with the same issue.

The Humble Indie Bundle 20 is now officially live!

Among the Sleep has been on my wishlist for a while, no excuse now I guess :-)

An updated Steam Client is out, should be more responsive when downloading
10 Jan 2019 at 12:36 pm UTC

Quoting: Leeo97oneThis sounds great, but the issue with the "Configuration Support" for controllers [External Link] is still a bit annoying, makes the feature itself useless and some controllers like the Nintendo Switch Pro unusable.
For whatever reason, this stopped being a problem for me recently for my wired xbone controllers and I can make configurations for them now. I can finally do 4 players with controllers in Crawl and it is awesome!

How to enable Steam Play (Proton) directly in SteamOS
9 Jan 2019 at 4:51 pm UTC Likes: 1

There's been an open issue since August [External Link] requesting a setting in BPM for Steam Play/Proton configurations. There's also a workaround in the comments that helps people like me who have problems loading the desktop client by editing the configuration file directly.

Damsel, the fast-paced action platformer with comic-like story-telling is worth a look

I just started testing it this weekend and it seems fairly fun. It has a very arcade-like feel to me: kind of repetitive, but you know what you're getting into from the very beginning level. I didn't have any problems with my steam controller on SteamOS beta, I just set it to the generic gamepad template and I was good to go, other than the UI prompts all being for keyboard controls.
