Very nice! I was waiting for this one.

Oh, that's a very welcome announcement. More WoD games! I wish developers of Bloodlines 2 could release it for Linux too...

What kind of genre is it, something like a visual novel? Hopefully it will come out on GOG as well.

Quoting: PsychojauJust a little information about Unreal Engine : I've read someone here talking about using OpenGL instead of Vulkan. Well… we would love to. Every dev using UE4 would love to right now. But Epic removed it from the engine, saying that Vulkan was better ! They just forgot they didn't fully implemented it… Or even care.

Vulkan should be better, if they are using it correctly. If they remove OpenGL great, but then their Vulkan renderer should be of good quality.

Where can I read about them not fully implementing Vulkan path btw?

Quoting: NezchanSo I'm curious, as someone who's not really familiar with the OpenMW project. Is the goal here to make an engine that recreates the original Morrowind, or one that's actually an improvement on it in a kind of "Morrowind, but better" sense?

It's both from what I understand. They recreate it, but also try to improve things.

So shadows are finally out! Was it the last missing feature? I guess it's time to test it now.

To clarify, Valheim developer pulled the game from itch.io not because of DRM, but because he wanted to rely on Steam services for NAT traversal features. Basically, we can blame IPv4 and Steam only providing network services for Steam games. In either case, the result is ugly. So it's not so much a DRM problem as lock-in one.

It doesn't matter what environment it runs in (for the point of support). If there are bugs related to the whole integration with such service and certain game, developers won't care to address them. How, doesn't matter. Nothing is bug free.

It's approximately the same situation as with Proton. If something doesn't work there, Wine developers would need to take care of it, game developers don't care for the most part.

Stadia on the other hand is a supported platform. If something is bugged there, developers (normally) would care to address it.

So I don't see Gefroce Now as anywhere comparable to Stadia, totally different idea.

OK, so it's Steam allowing Geforce Now pull their games from it. I don't see how it helps with the above issue. Developers won't start running fixing any bugs that pop up there, they never signed up for it.

On the other hand, when they release for Stadia, they support their games. So Geforce Now is nowhere comparable even in its concept. It's just a VM renting service, with the "use it as is" idea.

Quoting: LeopardThis is a service that developers are very well aware and can opt-in to use it.

I'm talking about Geforce Now, not about Steam cloud. Geforce Now relies on existing games. Stadia relies on games released there. What happens if something is bugged when played through Geforce Now? Nvidia won't go and fix those bugs for you, and neither will developers who didn't even release their games for it.

Quoting: LeopardThey both do the same thing

They do totally different things. One is a service where developers release their games. Another has nothing to do with developers, it's a VM renting service. If you don't see a difference, then you didn't pay attention.
