Lutris is an interesting open source application to help you manage your games from different sources, and they have released a fresh batch of builds.
It's an interesting project, but is something so general to try to cover everything needed? I can understand the reasoning of wanting to have all your games to launch in one place, so it will be fun to see where the project goes.
On the menu today is version 0.3.5 and it's an interesting one, but not for big fancy new features, but for spit and polish.
QuoteIts a couple months late but it's finally here! Lutris 0.3.5! So what's new? What took so long? Well, feature wise, not that much is new. We took what we had in Lutris 0.3.4 and made it better: lots of testing went into this release and we tried to fix any annoyances we could find. The goal was to build solid foundations for things to come, and believe me when I say there are lots of them!
Have you tried it? Let us know what you think it's like.
Official About
Lutris is an open gaming platform for GNU/Linux. It aims at supporting as many games as possible thanks to emulators and providing a simple and reliable experience when installing games.
The project combines the lutris.net website, a Linux client and game runners which are provided by your distribution or by Lutris itself. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Interesting idea, and the interface was not hit with the ugly stick in a break from 0.3 tradition.

A gaming platform with no windows support? I like I like.

This is a very good idea. Does it have support for emulators? If so, I think I will use this to manage emulators and Steam for native Linux games.

You should really update/change your description of the ScummVM runner, though. ScummVM runs more than just LucasArts and SCUMM-based games. :)

Nice! I've set it up now. The main reason I stopped using emulators is because they were a mess to have lots of, so this should be perfect. Might start buying more DRM-Free stuff now as well.
Are there any plans to include some sort of universal gamepad configuration? It would make it easier, especially for emulators like Mupen64plus which don't have a UI.

I'm getting these errors, but the software seems to work normally
(process:4345): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
(lutris:4325): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_show_uri: assertion 'uri != NULL' failed
And this one:
/usr/bin/lutris:132: Warning: Source ID 25371 was not found when attempting to remove it
Gtk.main()
Distro is Mint 17 Cinnamon
I've added my steam library now, the games are listed. Didn't try to install new games, but how do I add already installed games?
Manually? One by one? Btw.: Where do I find the application ID (Note: I can google that, but that number is simply inconvenient) Maybe you could ask for the Steam Library folders and "scan" from there?
Sure, that won't work without manual configuration for each game, but that could easily be done by the crowd. Somebody who creates a "base game configuration" for some game could easily share it, if you give them the option.
How do I configure the steam runtime, I mean, which executable? /usr/games/steam? or ~/.local/... something?

QuoteAre there any plans to include some sort of universal gamepad configuration?Absolutely. It's one of the features that shouldn't be too long to come, I think.

Looks light-years ahead of Desura and it's barely even Beta.
Looking forward to more news on this, Burnout Paradise on NIX as seen in their screenshot is only a dream for me.
