Anti-cheat: the gift that keeps on giving... :sick:

World of Goo 2 launches in May on the Epic Store - but Linux support from their website

I refuse to buy anything on this joke of a store as long as Epic continue their BS... I will buy the game DRM-free on 2DBoy website like it's 2009 (I give them a pass for the exclusivity deal considering their size and the continued support for Linux and DRM-free :heart:), and probably Steam/GOG/Itch/Humble later on...

Edit: Ohhh... and please, no EOS integration, thank you XD

You can't trust Sweeney, he's a weasel... Anything that hinders Valve is a good thing to him.

It has a Native Linux version but it's not advertised and seems to work just fine.
Pretty strange and annoying considering both DLCs are marked as Linux supported :/

Even the Ocean from Analgesic Productions has a source code release

Hmmm... Not too fond of this license. Open the code under a FOSS license, keep the assets close/proprietary, if you don't want someone to resell the game as is. Best of both world... :huh:

Whisker Squadron: Survivor takes Star Fox and adds a lil Vampire Survivors

While it does have Native Linux support and it is Steam Deck Verified, testing on both my desktop (Kubuntu) and Steam Deck - neither had any gamepad input at all. Swapping over to Proton Experimental made gamepad input work though.
Hmmm... As a backer I've had access to the game since mid-June, never saw that with the native build, neither on desktop (Arch Linux) nor Steam Deck, both on Steam beta. Gamepad controls works fine, on desktop with Sony DualShock 4 wired or Xbox One Controller wireless :huh:. I didn't play much though (like 5-6 times), so maybe it was corrected since :unsure:.

Short underwater survival game FarSky now free on itch.io

On Arch Linux, after installing a compatible java JRE (as mentionned above) and setting it as default (if multiple JREs are installed), it seems to work fine from my quick test in sandbox mode:
 
$ sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk
$ sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre


I use pipewire with alsa/pulse/jack support.

Already owned the game but it's a nice gesture.

Thank you, FarSky Interactive :heart:
