All aboard the hype train, as Feral Interactive are setting off with a new native Linux game that's being teased on their port radar.
For their Tweet:
5PM on a Friday, we're getting ready for the
#BankHolidayWeekend to start, and the Feral Radar decides to kick into life with a new blip for macOS and Linux. Well, whatever. We'll fix that rusty old thing on Tuesday. Okay, bye!
Here it is:
"Working with fire and steel" huh—anyone got any thoughts? I have a lot that come to mind, but I don't think I've ever managed to guess a single one of them correctly, they're always a damn good surprise.
Really great to see more coming from Feral, I sure do hope they have more on the way too. They're a company that has supported Linux really well for a long time now, both in terms of games and wider community efforts.
What a week!

Quoting: jensQuoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI think Feral must stop doing this porting zapping..
They should concentrate the porting skills in one game at a time..
Now they must focus in the ultra super delayed Life is Strange: Before the Storm.
My guess is that Ferals is also waiting for a DX stream-output like feature to get into Vulkan specifications and drivers.
As I said in another post, they should implement a plan B with ye olde OpenGL if they are having problems with Vulkan..
I understand that LIS:BTS works fine on wine OpenGL

Quoting: RoosterI assure you that you can, and it actually works extremely well.Quoting: Mountain ManMaybe it's Skyrim. Wouldn't that be ironic now that you can play Skyrim in Steam for Linux using Proton.
As far as I know, you can't play Skyrim using Proton yet. Or am I wrong?

Is that the original? Because I hear Special Edition still doesn't run well.

It would be great if Feral could update their games to use Vulkan. Another thing, I did read on Proton github that the Tom Raider 2013 does not run as good as on Windows and this people prefer to play it with Proton.

Quoting: MayeulCQuoting: BrisseQuoting: EikeQuoting: BrisseDon't quote me on this, but I believe I've read on Feral's Twitter that if you buy a game that was announced but not released by Feral, and you do it from a Linux-machine, they still get their cut, as long as you avoid playing it on a Windows-machine within the first two weeks.
I remember the same! That would make one interesting question...
What I'm curious to know is if you buy it now and play using Proton, does Feral still get their cut? Someone should ask on their Twitter, but I don't have a Twitter-account :)
Yes, the platform you play it more on in the two weeks following the purchase determine the platform that it's counted at. Proton is counted as Linux. This has been stated many times before, and repeated by the Great Liam Himself in the two [bottom] proton articles lately. (a permalink to article updates would be nice, Liam)
The real question here is rather: does the Feral radar count as an official announcement?
I'm pretty sure this is not the case, and is only relevant for which platform the purchase is counted for in the platform statistics. For Feral to get their cut of your purchase, you need to buy or pre-order from the Feral store directly, or buy on Steam after the Linux version has been released.
Here's a couple of tweets to support this:

Quote[...] Just pre-order the game from the Feral Store [or] just buy the game on Steam and install the Linux version once it's released.

Quote[...] Ideally, please wait for the Linux release before you buy or play.
