Great, have this on my wishlist since I read about the possible Linux port. I hope the beta does make it into a proper release!

Quoting: Liam DaweZack-like

This really should be the "official" name for the genre!

I haven't played in a while, but I absolutely love this game! I'd like to give the new version a try, but I know it definitely wouldn't become just a try.

I bought Factorio shortly before their most recent price increase and wanted to wait playing it until it was out of early access. Of course I failed. For 152 hours so far. :whistle:

Quoting: The_AquabatWhen this post was made in Australia was already 2020.

According to this site [External Link] it's still more than 2 hours until the first people start into the new year.

I, too, would like to try it, thanks for the opportunity!

I just tried Spiritfarer, and although it's quite short I like it a lot so far. Have this on my wishlist since I heard of it. Usually I don't pay much attention to the looks (apart from they have to support the atmosphere), but here the animations look to damn good they got me hooked. Also very cute. You can hug people, and they like it (if you don't overdo it, they like their personal space, too). Fells just nice.

I've tried to get into Unity on Linux some time ago, but I found it not to be very accessible. Later I read a post of someone who said that Unity has an asset-focused approach that does not suit programmers very well, and although I did not dive in very deep, I found that to be true for me. I'm used to and like manipulating objects by code instead of dragging and dropping my way around some state machines which properties and processes I didn't fully understand (and didn't care enough to try harder).

But ever since I laid my hands on Godot I never looked back. It has a really nice integrated scripting language (Unity did not work so well together with MonoDevelop on my system), is all open source and made life much easier for my private 2D game projects.

Wanted to test out old Etherlords II with wine, but can't find the CDs anymore.

Have been trying Legend of Keepers prologue thanks to Liam's article about it, and while there are a few rough edges when getting into it and I totally sucked during my first tries, it was entertaining enough while it lasted. Though it has (yet) not enough legacy elements in it to feel some kind of progression throughout the single sessions and too much "let's start fresh from the beginning" for my taste. Wish it was more like Rogue Legacy in this aspect.

Also I keep coming back time and again to Creeper World 3 to check out some more user made maps, many of them who add additional and sometimes quite different game play. At least regarding to Steam it's the game I have with the most hours played.
