Quoting: apocalyptechAha, quite welcome! It's been awhile since the last official HIB. Lucky for me, I'm actually interested in most of the ones in here, and the only one I'd already had was Kentucky Rt. 0.

A few numbers, for those inclined to like numbers:

Arithmetic mean of days-between-HIBs: 151 days (5.0 months)
Standard deviation: 62 days (2.1 months)

Intervals between HIBs (in days): 224, 224, 140, 170, 110, 92, 160, 106, 118, 42, 203, 39, 165, 181, 147, 175, 273
Maximum HIB interval (between 17 and 18): 273 days (9.1 months)

Next HIB, if exactly at mean: October 14, 2017
Next HIB, if exactly at mean+stddev: December 15, 2017

You're a massive nerd.

I approve.

Kentucky Route Zero is one of the best narrative-driven games of late.

Quoting: PieGamer314Strange, it never broke for me. I opened it up as soon as it finished updating and it worked just fine.

what GPU? what drivers?

I have nvidia-381.22 and vulkan crashes for me. I am just finishing recompiling libreoffice and ill try with the launch string from above

Very good bundle. I already bought it.

Holy smokes, what an awesome bundle, and one that actually has several games I want and only one I already own. I will definitely at least get the beat the average level, mainly for Kentucky Route Zero, even if I refuse to play that until all episodes are out... so in a couple years, but I'm tempted to step up to $13 for Owlboy.

Edit: Ah you edited it, yes that edited version works.

I already have most of the games i would like, but it's still one of the best Linux-friendly bundle, since "bundles" exist.

Try -screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080 -force-vulkan in the game launcher.

Quoting: PlayXThere is a workaround
Open the prefs file in .config/unity3d/Aquaris Game Studio/Ballistic Overkill/
then you have set fullscreen to 0 (now opengl works) and edit you screen size (then vulkan works)
save and play.
But you have to do this every time because after close the game all is gone ( you can set the file to read only ;-) )

Yeah I discovered that myself and added it to the top of the article.

Quoting: Power-Metal-Games

Quoting: filsdThanks Liam!
Main Dev here!

I should add that the game is fully made on Linux, using mainly open source tools! (Gimp, Blender, Ubuntu...). :)

Congratulation! Me too I'm making my game only on Linux and only with tools that work on Linux.

Nice! :D

Excellent bundle. I'll have to wait for the "+more" though since I already have everything on the list except Owlboy.

btw Vulkans seems have more fps but feels not as smooth as opengl

Quoting: liamdaweFeral likely have multiple development teams (I dont know any specifics about their internals fyi), likely working on more than one port at a time. People likely forget this.

How about sweet talking someone over at Feral into doing a proper in-depth interview for the site? You know it makes sense. ;) If anyone from Feral are reading this, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to. ;)

Depends what topics you want covered, we've interviewed them a few times.

See here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/interview-with-feral-interactive-about-their-ports-and-mesa-drivers-steam-keys-offered-for-mesa-developers.9356 (that's a big one too)

Quoting: Geppeto35

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: AimHereAlso, Rome is still one of the more popular games in the series, between the nostalgia factor (it was the first proper 3D Total War, and for many gamers, it was their first game in the series), and the relative simplicity of the gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if it sells more than some of the later TW games.

Do you have a recommendation for a Total War to try for modern graphics and "relatively simplistic" gameplay?

yeah and a tutorial to understand what happens on screen XD
In my Total War, I see soldiers killed and map with stuffs happening. No idea how I can act on the game, like in Crusader king 2 of Paradox. I would have love to play it but I don't have 3 weeks to understand the mechanism of a game. :'-(

Dude if you understood CK2 , these games are cake by comparison.
My guess it'll be more like 3 hours on YT for you.
Think I would need about 5 to learn.

And think that you don;t have to master it. You'll loose mostly at the beginning. I did as well with Paradox games.
But I learned as I lost.

Pretty decent of them to be so straightforward about this.
Hope they find a way to keep it available.
And hope people find ways to keep running it.

I just hope they won't remove it from GOG, without asking users first if they prefer to keep it as is or not.

the original xenonauts is awesome and hard, it runs better natively than in wine. but in wine you can install the community edition wich is a great addition to the game. so in my case, no harm done.
I can't wait for xenonauts 2.

At least that's a solid reason. They still seem to be at least open to support Linux in the future, which is good.

Thanks for the update, Liam!

It's an unfortunate situation, but it's much more understandable, given this information.
