Rust Hits Over 1 Million Sales & Removes Zombies
12 Feb 2014 at 12:13 am UTC

actualy most of the engine issues are unity issues.. other unity games have same problems, worse performance and mouse issues.
textures and stuff are ofc generic for most part.. they are replacing them slowly. Rust wasnt meant to go live at all first.. it was just random side project they tested afaik..

keep your eyes on https://trello.com/playrust [External Link]
they are updating it quite regulary what they are doing.

Linux Game Sales Statistics From Multiple Developers Part 2
11 Feb 2014 at 10:02 pm UTC

afaik its the last 7 days played or downloaded
so if you bought it under phone and downloaded to your linux machine it counts as linux.
if the last time you played it through wine or in windows it counts as windows

not 100% sure though how its counted

Quoting: liamdaweI respect Garry for supporting Linux given our market-share, same goes for any developer.

I am waiting to play Rust properly until there is more to do, doesn't seem like a lot right now :(
well that 5k units is over 100k dollars ..ofc minus taxes and stuff.. but i think they have got more then the porting expenses.

you obviously don't know garry.. its pretty stupid to call him "idiot" or something.
he is what he is.. he complains about everything.. people got mad when he had troubles with ubuntu setup ....but he complains about everything.. doesnt matter what OS... people should not take him that seriously..

sry but i think that block was quite deserved.

Rust Hits Over 1 Million Sales & Removes Zombies

last time linux users were just 0.4% of the sales anyway.

i like where the game is heading.. removed zombies, replacing modern weapons with handmade ones.

i dont really care about tutorial.. this game shouldnt have a tutorial
you are thrown into island and you have to start living on your own there.
thats what i like about the game..

they are giving us tools, we are making rules.

Warsow FPS 1.1 Beta Released
10 Feb 2014 at 8:58 am UTC

i like super fast paced FPS games, but warsow is little too much , because of the wall jumping stuff.
i prefer Xonotic or Alien Arena mostly.

Interview With A Developer From Kerbal Space Program
9 Feb 2014 at 9:01 pm UTC

great interview

its sad that i still haven't played the game enough yet.
just couple hours.. got to the orbit but failed to go to the Moon (Mun)
i guess it too lazy to search for all the mods and stuff...the game needs more parts without mods imo :)

i should find a time and give it a shot again.. its a super game :)

hmm it was 1.8GB download for me only.
anyway that size isnt any noteworthy for todays games.
everything below 5GB is considered as small imo.
