I backed this a little while back, looks fun. Thanks for the update.

From the "Project Updates" it sounds like he's very confident of reaching the goal.

I shall be keeping a close eye on this one. One problem - I've got 40+ games on my wishlist! This Linux gaming's getting out of hand ;)

Quoting: Quote from xmirrorxStupid steam on Linux I am spending waaay to much money there lately.

I'm still debating with myself if I should get Portal 2 now for 4.99€ (75% off) in the hopes of a Linux version coming soon...

I bought it on sale back when I used to buy games on sale and play through Wine. I deliberately never played this one as rumours of Steam for Linux had started. Surely Portal2 it will come to Linux soon(ish)?

I also bought CS:GO on sale recently in the same hope.

Liam - So the alpha of 7Days is windows only? Didn't realise that. I was kinda wishing I'd backed at a higher tier to get the alpha but if there's no Linux version yet then that would have been a little annoying. I should read up on these things more thoroughly!

Thanks for the info and all your hard work on the site.

It looks interesting. I kickstarted "7 Days to Die" so I'm not sure I can run to two similarly themed games in the short term. I'll certainly keep an eye on it though.

Bestia - many thanks! It's come out as 65, so I'll give that a try.

Xpander - what's with the right hand view? Is it Windows? The left hand view looks like mine. Apologies for my confusion but what's what here? Thanks.

p.s. very professional vids, nice.

Edit: while I'm at it, where did you get your figure of 59 for "r_base_fov"? My monitor's 16:10, so how would I work out the value necessary? Or is it just trial and error? 59 certainly looks better than the original 50.625 however.

I concur with a lot of the sentiment already expressed, so I won't repeat it.

Quake blew me away at the time and is still one of my all time favourite games. Admittedly I've not played that many FPS as I've only been a sporadic Windows user but it was about the only one I can remember where I thought the music added to the experience, superbly atmospheric. Without wanting to sound patronising, unless you lived through these changes in computing it might be hard to imagine how exciting something like Quake was! Super graphical games are the norm, run-of-the-mill now. That's for another thread though!

ID innovated at that time but since have stagnated somewhat. I really enjoyed Doom and Quake 4 also. Thanks for the memories ID.

Quoting: Quote from STiATPlayed it a few hours. It's a great game with good story telling (even if it's a linear story). Sadly, at one certain point it keeps crashing on me. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next updates.

At which point is it crashing? I haven't had a crash yet so a heads up would be useful :)

Quoting: Quote from XodetaetlBecause Liam asked :

Quoting: QuoteWhat are you most looking forward to in future from Steam on Linux? Or if you shy away from it, why?

It might also just be the will to speak about a recurrent topic that one's strongly opiniated about. ;)

Whoops... looks like I just stood on a rake!
