Quoting: ricki42Which nvidia card are you comparing to?
Ah, forgot to mention it because I've already done this a couple of times. That would be a GTX 760.

StarDrive 2, the rather good 4x space strategy game is now on Unity 5

Quoting: Nouser
I pretty much fell in love with StarDrive 2 for being so much like an updated Master of Orion 2
How accurate is this? Because so far every single "updated Master of Orion 2" I've tried has failed to be an actual update over MOO2.
I played about 9 hours of StarDrive 2 and I think MOO2 is still a better experience. No nostalgia factor either, because the first time I played MOO2 was pretty recently.

GOL Game Jam Has Entered Rating Phase
26 Oct 2015 at 3:31 pm UTC

Quoting: EikeI didn't yet take a look at the games, but I wonder if categories like "Sound" will match well.
How about some "Creativity" or so?
"Fun"?
To me creativity and fun fall under the gameplay category. But we could change these up a bit in the next game jam so feedback is appreciated.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition Coming To Linux, Native Port

Quoting: pbWouldn't it be the first native game released by Night Dive? I thought they only sell dosbox/wine/scummvm wrapped oldies.
They also did Spirits of Xanadu which was a Unity3D title.

Quoting: StianTheDarkAs mentioned, this is terrible timing. Try doing it in a holiday next time.
The timing will always be bad regardless. Holidays can be surprisingly full of all kinds of stuff.

Magicka 2 Looks Like It Will Have Lower Performance On AMD Cards

I think people are overreacting here. Think about it: this dev tested on BOTH the AMD prop blob and the open driver. This alone says something about their testing methodology and I wouldn't worry about AMD not being developed on directly. I mean, this is still testing phase and they can still make changes to the engine should they find some NvidiaGL in the code. This testing here should be seen as something very positive instead of painting it as some kind of hatred towards AMD. Remember, a lot of devs won't even look at AMD and if they do, they will only look at the proprietary driver. This developer is already better than that.
