DragonRuby Game Toolkit, a cross-platform way to make games with Ruby
20 Apr 2019 at 6:30 pm UTC Likes: 2

I'm learning some Ruby at the moment to develop a website with Rails, coming from some C# ASP.NET MVC 5 experience it's pretty good and much more Linux-friendly so far. Game development with it also sounds Interesting to say the least!

Risk of Rain 2 works very nicely on Linux thanks to Steam Play, it's also pretty crazy

I got this one as a gift. It's a really fun game, but I'm not sure if I'd have picked it up myself if it didn't come to Linux officially. It gets a little repetitive after a while, but some content updates should deal with that.

Details on how Slay the Spire sold on Linux plus some thoughts

I would've expected higher than 0.82%. To me it seems a lot of Linux gamers are attracted to smaller indie games like Slay the Spire.

NVIDIA have put out a new Linux beta driver with support for 'G-SYNC Compatible monitors'
31 Jan 2019 at 10:37 am UTC

According to Linux YouTuber star Xpander69, who I spoke to and has tested it out, the new G-SYNC Compatible feature will only work with one monitor enabled and the game will have to be in fullscreen. Shame, as that would make it pretty useless for me personally with two monitors I use heavily.
It kinda sounds like this is only the case when using synchronization features from a FreeSync monitor on an NVIDIA card, but this also happens when using regular G-Sync. Just wanted to clear that up.

Already played A Story About My Uncle, it's a really fun but short game. Has very nice platforming and some beautiful visuals, recommended!

NVIDIA to support VESA Adaptive Sync with 'G-SYNC Compatible' branding
7 Jan 2019 at 10:05 am UTC

That's really nice, I hope that sometime AMD will support G-Sync Displays aswell. I'm very happy with my Dell S2417DG, but it would suck to lose functionality if I want to switch to an AMD card.

28/150 new releases? The best selling new releases I assume? Steam must really be hurt by all those new competitors :P

Quoting: elmapul"With that in mind they noted 27 bugs squashed. These include issues found with Final Fantasy XI, Undertale
and others. "
we have undertale for linux, why people are playing the windows version? sigh
Wine seeks for perfect compability with all Windows applications, so even Linux native games are tested. Also keep in mind that Wine does not only exist for Linux.

Humble are doing an 'Indie Mega Week' that's worth a look for some cheap Linux games

Quoting: Dax TailorHi and thanks for the info.

Just bought Duskers (50% off) and subscribed to the monthly bundle for one year, currently a special offer for $99,-. Even the games in this bundle are not so interesting, there 4 more coming on Jan. 4. and it gives me access to over 60 DRM free games, some are not so bad I think (AI-Wars and other Arcan games for example.)

PS.
For some weird reason there was something about "GamingOnLinux" when I checked out my games, hopefully that did not break this web side :)
If you haven't redeemed the keys yet, you can always pause for a month :)
P.S. The GamingOnLinux thing is a referral code that Liam added in, so they get a small cut when someone buys on Humble via their website.

Quoting: GuestI get a segfault when trying Undertale (DRM free version from HiB ; daily MESA ppa ; RX 560). Any idea ? The workaround I see on forum doesn't work...
Are you on an optimus laptop? Try using your other GPU, the intel one worked for me. Nevermind.
