Well I'm excited the update is out of beta! Anyone know why Planescape EE is not on the list?

Sweet! I'll keep an eye out for the release. Their patreon page suggests a future steam release.

Looks really cool. I bought a copy and installed it. Walking through the tutorials now. Thanks for this, I had no idea it existed!

Quoting: Teradile

No actual reason has been given to us on why it went free for Linux

The reason is that I haven't sold many copies on Steam, so I thought I might as well expose it to a bigger audience and let more people play it.

I just bought a copy on steam. Thanks for supporting linux. I've been dreaming of releasing a game for years with the idea of making it free for linux users / pay for windows and mac.

Cheers! I look forward to playing it tonight.

Quoting: PinballWizardSo maybe this is a good place to enquire; I'm a Linux enthusiast living in the United States and I have an ancient gaming laptop that I just as a software lab machine for development that I'm thinking of upgrading. I'm looking for a 17 inch laptop with a dedicated AMD gpu to take advantage of those open source drivers; I'm shocked by the lack of options. I see an MSI that fits my profile but the reviews say the fans are loud(I have a pet that may be a problem for). There aren't that many laptops out there with dedicated AMD gpus.

I can recommend the Dell G5 SE with some caveats. I've got the Ryzen 9 model running at idle around 45C. Running a demanding game was getting around 100C (maybe more). I'm on Fedora 33 with KDE. As long as you have a very recent kernel you should be okay. I've been running with 'nomodeset' as a kernel parameter. There is a subreddit mostly focused on windows, but has some good general info, too: https://old.reddit.com/r/DellG5SE/comments/jqgdky/setting_up_your_dell_g5_se/ [External Link]

Still the machine runs a bit hot, currently I can game and keep it under 70C for short sessions and 85 for longer sessions but I had to pick up a cooling device that the computer sits on top of. Also check out RyzAdj for managing the temps. https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj/ [External Link]

I picked this game up with the 40% off sale on steam. Runs great!

The hardware looks excellent! Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Liam, I had no idea. Going to go see if I can build one :D

edit: the retro core might be a good target for the soon-to-start retro jam on itch. https://itch.io/jam/retro-jam-2021 [External Link]
