Two Worlds 2 RPG Heading To Linux For SteamOS
12 Oct 2013 at 2:48 am UTC

just a question here:

"we are working on a steamos version"

this can mean 2 things not ?
 1- we are working on a linux version but we don't like to use the word linux
 2- we are making it so that this pc game which is normal keyboard/mouse controlled is now really well playable with a controller so it works great when you stream it to steamos (so not necessarily a linux version)

maybe am to sceptical.

Quoting: Quote from adolsonExcellent! This was my favorite of the PixelJunk games.
+1

Quoting: Quote from LiamdaweI must say, this looks fantastic!
It really is, it looks simple but the game play it amazingly fun and addictive, specially the levels with loads of lava and you run out of water if your not careful, its a must buy this one :)  and of course nr 2 also if they bring that out, adds a whole lot more to it

It did not after an update, so deleted all and re-downloaded and that solved that error.

now after the cut-scene:

Uncaught exception thrown in Thread[LWJGL Rendere Thread5,main]
RendereException: compile error in:shaderSource[name=Shaders/LightningAdv.frag, defines, type=Fragment, language=GLSL110] : error:0(469) : errir C7011: implicit cast from "int" to "float".

sorry :)

Eschalon Book 3 RPG Beta To Come November
29 Sep 2013 at 4:04 am UTC

Quoting: Quote from Mike FrettThese are really great RPGs with great stories. I'll be sure to pick this one up as I did the last 2. I just hope the viewing area is larger on this one, the last two were very small and it was hard to see without being two inches in front of the Monitor.
could not agree more, thought it was just me who was crawling into the monitor on these 2 games, glad it was not ;)

Valve Has Announced The SteamOS Built On Linux UPDATED

Quoting: Quote from liamdaweIf it's compatible with at least Ubuntu then I think Linux gaming will utterly explode next year.
I wonder what their plans long term are, in regards to Wayland vs Mir. For now it's going to be Xorg simply because there aren't any drivers for Wayland/Mir yet. But in the future they'll have to make a choice.
true, choose between alienating ubuntu users or rest of the linux world, saying as they only officially support ubuntu it will probably be that which is a shame as I don't see other distro's using Mir since the licensing issue and more important that there is no promise for a stable frozen api.

Quoting: QuoteCould this be dangerous for the desktop Linux client?
To me it sounds like another Linux distro, except it's aiming for the desktop aggressively (like Ubuntu) and has financial backing from Valve. I'm actually pretty excited to try it out once it's downloadable.
no its not, its an OS based to stream from your PC to your TV

nm, I stand corrected, its both, stream and install those linux steam games on it, still not enough

ha :)

Quoting: Bumadar on September 21, 2013 at 12:24 pm- a box which is like the Vita TV [External Link], a small boxed (in this case on a linux based OS) which you hook up to our tv and it will stream your steam games to that, that would solve the issue of windows users losing all their games as you basicly still play on you pc no matter what it will be.

its sad for linux as a gaming platform, as you stated Liam it will not give an incentive to make linux games, but for valve its the only thing that makes sense as they can't afford to lose the windows users.
