Godot 3.1 is out, a massive upgrade for this impressive open source game engine
14 Mar 2019 at 6:52 am UTC

Quoting: KimyrielleDoes anyone know if 4.0 will be breaking backwards compatibility with projects started in 3.x, like 3.0 did with 2.x projects?
Hard to say if it will because they dont talked a lot about Godot 4.

Probably they still have to decide this down the road

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnyone have any idea just how competitive Godot is at this point with other engines?
For 2D is by many considered the best. The tools for designing a 2D game make much more sense in Godot than Unity and are less complicated to use.

The problem is if you want to make a game for various platforms. Until now, i only heard about one release of a game using Godot for consoles.

Also 3D support could improve, but it looks like most of people developing on Godot dont want to produce a game with full 3D graphics so theres that

Cities: Skylines turns four years old, has some impressive stats

Quoting: 14You guys talking about 200-500 hours in the game and now you're bored... that sounds quite satisfactory to me.:O But, different strokes for different folks I suppose. I like to move on after a while.
This reminds of when i see a review on Steam about someone who played more than 2000 hours of a game giving a negative review.

Not the case here, but reminded me of that

Has bots so i'll buy it. I realized that i can be more forgiven when a bot is dumb than a real person and that helped me reduce my stress playing

Spaceship colony sim 'Space Haven' seems to be a big hit on Kickstarter
12 Mar 2019 at 3:58 am UTC

Man, all Kickstarter games recently showed here got me really interested.

I dont know if i just didnt kept it up with the kickstarter news anymore, but it seemed to me that for a time it was difficult to interesting games come out again in the platform, but now a lot of new games that i really want to support are being funded.

I dont know if the universe is just making ideas that i like or there is actually something in there

More updates on Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation with Vulkan for Linux

Quoting: TheRiddickIf games use vulkan then it kinda makes it real easy to port to Linux/Mac/Switch/PS4++ The only platform I know of atm that has a issue with vulkan is the xbox.... does it support vulkan? pretty sure they blacklisted it!
Only Switch has support to Vulkan. PS3 had support for something that was kinda similar to OpenGL, but it was removed.

PS4 has 2 graphical APIs, a low level API named GNM and a high level API named GNMX.

But still, Vulkan works on Switch, Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, Android and MacOS/iOS with MoltenVK. It is a really valid choice because it would work already with a lot of systems.

For now, the experimental Linux (and Mac) port of ARMA 3 will not see any more updates

I'm surprised that this game is even receiving updates at all on any platform

The Atari VCS team put out a post to talk about the Linux OS along with an open source project teaser

Why do this? They are complicating something that does not need to be complicated. They just need to ship a normal linux distribution with a gaming UI like Lakka or Retrobox and put some good games on it.

Why spend money on stuff like that?

And why it would not come with OpenGL and Vulkan? Just put Mesa on it and it will work and receive updates with no problems.

Linux already have a lot of things to help then. They dont need to reinvent the wheel with stuff like that, when they shoukd focus on launching their product
