Explicitly dedicated to our holiday season game making enjoyment, a new build of the Unity editor for Linux has been released. It is updated to Unity version 5.3.0f4.
Khronos has given an official update on Vulkan, there's good news, and there's bad news. The year-end target release date for Vulkan will not be met. However, they are in the home stretch and the release of Vulkan 1.0 is imminent!
I am very hopeful for Vulkan, and the future of it seems bright with lots of people already working with it. Another company named Basemark announced last month they will be release a commercial benchmarking tool for Vulkan.
The Unity Editor has now been updated against Unity 5.2.2f1, which fixes a number of issues and should make life on Linux that bit easier for Unity developers.
Nvidia has now put up the PhysX SDK on github for everyone to sink their teeth into, like with Unreal Engine it does require you agree to their EULA though, so it's not "free software".
Valve have been extremely busy, and we are already seeing some fruits of their work. They have written a Vulkan driver for an Intel GPU, showed Source 2 with Dota 2 on it, and they will open source the driver.
I love the idea of game creation tools that require no programming knowledge, as they enable hobbyists to have fun, quick prototyping and much more. Construct 2 is one of the finest around, and the developers have laid out plans for Construct 3.
