Quoting: KimyrielleFunny how quick Indie developers are with abandoning us, as soon as they get bigger and more famous. :S

More like when they stop being independent. Very expected from legacy publishers. See above, they were bought.

Not surprising about them dropping Linux. They were swallowed by 2K / Take Two, a legacy publisher with no particular interest in Linux.

Quoting: fleskI believe it's called cel shading: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel_shading [External Link]
That term was tossed around a lot while I was active in their community in the early days.

Yep, that's the one, thanks for the pointer! I haven't played games like these before, but I've seen a bunch in the trailers, from Telltale especially. Though for the sequel to Beneath A Steel Sky, 2D probably would have been better. But may be it will come out good. I'll wait for DRM-free release.

What is the name of this style by the way (one in the trailer)? I.e. 3D, but with comic / drawing feel to it. Telltale like using it I think. Makes it easier to skip fancy graphics effects and focus on the story more.

Though personally, I would have preferred a 2D sequel, using modern developments in technology. Dex [External Link] is a good example how it can be done.

Interesting. I'd recommend playing the original if you are a fan of cyberpunk genre. I hope they plan GOG release too. Check also the comic that comes with the game (GOG release has it).

And if you didn't know, you can do this (on Debian at least) ;)

sudo apt install beneath-a-steel-sky

Quoting: ShmerDid you enable compositing and OpenGL 3.x in the system settings? KDE really should switch to Vulkan for the desktop already.

Yes, but it improved very little...

Did you open a KDE bug? Would be interesting to follow.

Quoting: GuestFor some reason KDE doesn't like my Dell laptop with an integrated AMD card. Love the DE but it works very slowly and laggy. So XFCE is the one. I just wish they made the multiple monitor configuring a little more like KDE and implemented an overview mode as well.

I didn't really notice KDE memory bloat. I also don't run stuff like baloo file indexing though. KDE runs with 4 GB of RAM even (I'm using it in a few VMs set up that way) and uses just a small portion of it.

Would be nice if they also focus on KDE as the primary supported DE, and will help speeding up its development.

Promising project. I'll surely back it. I just hope MS won't swallow this studio, like it did with other Linux supporters in the past (inXile and Obsidian especially).
