The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form

Quoting: MayeulCWell, that's not really an option, you just declare a new environment variable that will contain the original command, and then proceed to launch the executable directly :)

I guess it could work as well with echo "%command%"; ./RSG/Binaries/Linux/RSG-Linux-Shipping 
Ah yes of course, you are right. So easy, I didn't realize :) Thanks for pointing that out.

Quoting: ShmerlI didn't really follow the whole thread. So does it work with Mesa git or not?
People are claiming it works with recent Mesa and AMD GPUs.

E.g. from this post [External Link]:
it's running wonderfully on Mesa 17.2 (padoka stable ppa) on Ubuntu 16.04 on an RX580
Not sure about newest git Mesa, but if there is no regression, I would suppose it works there too.

As N30N mentioned in his post [External Link] on the Steam forums, it might be easier to just set this launch option of Everspace, instead of editing the start script:

ignore="%command%" ./RSG/Binaries/Linux/RSG-Linux-Shipping

Didn't know about the "ignore" option so far. Learning never stops! :)

Quoting: rapakivDone my part 999 to go, but if the 1000 people is what he needed to pay to port I believe in the end they will profit with 3% cota.
Nice!
But I don't know how many Linux copies they have to sell, to get their investments in the port back. Probably way more than a thousand.

Yeehaaw!

When I talked to the CEO of Rockfishgames about the Linux version, he said he thinks they are doing the port for about 1000 people at max... let's prove him wrong!

There's a brand new Humble Bundle with almost all the games on Linux, oh my

So, I'd like to support devs bringing their games to Linux... if it's actually kind of a good game.
So is this Sakura-series recommended a buy?

Minecraft: Story Mode for Linux never got released, even though it was “ready”

Quoting: jkaartMinecraft Story Mode Season 2 don't launch in wine.
Maybe Season 1 works well today, I don't test it yet in wine.
Ah okay, didn't test Minecraft Storymode, but e.g. The Walking Dead works perfectly with wine (platinum rating).

Aww, too bad.
Though their titles work pretty well in wine, I would prefer a native version.
So what's the matter here? Are there not enough Linux specialists in the gaming development scene? Are they too expensive for the team?
Reminds me a bit of the situation with Darksiders, where the port was also almost finished, but the "Linux guy" left the company then.

Sounds like Killing Floor 2 won't come to Linux any time soon

Aww, too bad. We could now ask Aaron if he is not working on KF2 anymore. Maybe he is allowed to answer that.
