Looks nice. At first, I though it was a Squad game (KSP Developer) :D

Nice of them to have added Mac/Linux icons :)

Performance a bit low on a 6870 (40-60 FPS), but still very playable with radeon driver.
Feral, would it be possible for you to try out your ports on a different keyboard than qwerty (hint : azerty)? Of course, settings are broken by default, which is the norm, but when I remap my keyboard in-game to a qwerty one with a shortcut (plasma 5), the game ignores this. It seems you are using keycodes, which don't (as far as I know) change between different layouts. So, I don't really understand what you did wrong there :/
Allowing to remap keys ingame would also do, but I guess it's rather complicated.

This years GDC conference will have a very interesting Vulkan & DX12 talk from AMD

Quoting: GuestI expect NVIDIA to help with the open source NVIDIA driver for Vulkan support, since supporting Vulkan in drivers is supposed to be pretty trivial, much more-so than with OpenGL.Well, this would require them to release their signed firmwares, which I don't think will happen anytime soon.
Rocket League will be on SteamOS & Linux before the Xbox One in February

This game always reminds me of this old map from halo 2 killtrocity mod :

Looking forward to it :)

AMD has announced their 14nm FinFET Polaris GPU architecture

This is going to be an interesting year for AMD, I swear it. Either hit or miss, but with 14nm Zen CPUs, GCN4 GPUs, and Vulkan, they have an explosive trio full of potential.
I expect their drivers to be a lot more efficient with vulkan, provided we get games that use the API at all. I also look forward to good open-source Vulkan drivers, which should be a thing quite shortly after the specs release. If so, one of the last advantages of closed-source drivers will be per-game shaders optimizations. And even then, I expect the new SPIR-V representation to be able to lead to even more optimized shaders.

It's nice to see games starting to play fine on open source drivers. Especially what they did with gallium nine is really nice.
I would like to see some ports offering 9 as an option if available. Does someone knows if VP ports currently use 9 if available? (and if it is a DX 9 game)

Steam is having a whopper of a sale right now

Seriour sam 3 too, but it is quite demanding.
Then, little games like MONACO or The binding of Isaac Rebirth.
I also know some others like shatter, a virus named tom, or Portal 2. L4D2 also has a splitscreen mode, but you have to access it trough the console.
Screencheat might be fun, but I didn't try it. Don't starve together might be interesting too.
Too bad I don't have my steam client near me, I have a category dedicated to those. I am fond of local multiplayer games :)

Quoting: ElectricPrismKOTR2 is 70% off @ $3 That'll be a nice Steam TV game for meh.FORCED is a good one.
Anyone recommend any good Local Multiplayers with Full Controller support? I want to collect a couple more Steam Controllers and some Local games to play w/ friends.

openage, an open source clone of the Age of Empires II engine

Oh man, I hope it will be compatible with Star Wars galactic battlegrounds (+clone campaigns). I LOVED this game. Much more than any age of empires.
