I've played it several times over the years (got it on alpha), and i love it.

It’s a tough time to be an indie developer, with Steam’s new sale event causing wishlist deletions

Everytime there is a game on sale, i keep or remove it from wishlist, if it's not a big cut, or if i find out i don't want it anymore, or a game that was Windows with a "maybe Linux later"... Often, "later" is way too late anyway, so good bye.

I usually have 200-300 games on wishlist, only because i find it easier to follow them.

Street Racing (https://steamcommunity.com/games/796270/announcements/detail/1609387561724393138 [External Link])
-90%, less than 1€ now. But. Doesn't work on Linux... Empty folder, missing executable.

I play it since a long time, two years maybe ? Not sure. It's really nice, and it's going the right way with a good development.

The Expression Amrilato, a Yuri Visual Novel that teaches some Esperanto has a same-day Linux release on GOG

Well, i quite dislike visual novel, but i'm also all partial to Esperanto. I've learnt it. I managed at some point to be able to understand radio in esperanto, and i met some amazing people too.

Like, in north of Norway while i was traveling, i met a french man and a russian woman, using Esperanto as the first language at home (they didn't know they speak esperanto both, when they met first). They have a girl, when i met her she was about 14 years old. Esperanto was her first language (there are maybe 1000 to 2000 kids nowadays with EO as a first language). Then, norway, then russia to talk with mom, french to talk with dad, english because many norvegian speak english too, and she was learning spanish, italian and german at school.

Quoting: SalvatosSomeone decides to make a new language that everyone could speak in common, and now there's just one more language that most people don't speak.
Well, that sounds like someone without any real knowledge of what Esperanto is meant to be, and is, actually.

Quoting: GuestNow of course, it's way too late !
Nope, that's like pollution, it's not too late to clean it all, as it's not too late to use a cleverly elaborated language as an international tool, instead of the very unfair english. Before it was french, portugese, later it may be mandarin or zulu, who knows...

Meh.

I love the Commandos games, i played all of them back in their time, but i would much much much prefer a new game, not a remastered version of something i played a lot already.

Steam Marines 2 is coming to Steam for Linux soon, Steam Marines 3 going first-person
10 Jun 2019 at 2:36 pm UTC

Steam Marines, the first, was quite fun, even if too simplistic.

SM2 is weird, really need a huge improvement in the GUI and in the introduction screens to pick your team. Also gameplay is shallow and needs some work to not feel clunky. In current state, i would not recommend it unless you want to TEST, not PLAY. It has potential, but too many games have that, and fail to deliver, so wait and see...
