Looks interesting

On the openlara engine I wondered how many of these things are out there in the ether of the net.
Today Liam delivers again.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTSo does this engine feel like the original game? Some do, like "Return to the Roots" (The Settlers 2). Some don't, like Ceasaria (Caesar III). ;)

Well , I thought Ceasaria sounded familiar , did a quick google and remembered it. Seems it was never finished. It is EA on steam and based on comments little to no work is being done. Maybe that's why the feel does not match ? (don't own it though)

Quoting: GuestI’d rather not get new content… I don’t like games that keep getting changes months after release. When I buy a game I want something worth playing, finish it, and be done with it.

I actually like this. Rather than have sequels that are just clones of the originals you get a game supported with more content .
If that's not your cup of tea , you can always play vanilla and uninstall I guess.

Still , a lot of games nowadays due to complexity and ports to certain operating systems (whose mascot is an aquatic flightless bird) need bugfixes and patches. Along with said patches a dev might discover a mechanic might need tweaking or re-balancing , or an exploit removed. I don't think the post release changes are a bad thing.
But again to each his/her own.

Curios if anyone made any original content for this game-engine.
How cool would it be to have a Generals mod in this old school looking engine :)

I'm pumped.

@Faalgorn we strive to support whatever we can from RCT1/SV4. We already support importing SV4/SC4/TD4 (save/scenario/track design format) into the game and convert them internally to SV6/SC6/TD6. We are still, however, limited to only the things the latter format allows, which means e.g. no split in paths and their fences and no separate entry fees for attractions/park.

We have added things that we could: booster sprites, that I'm told went missing.

The plan is to restore (or add) such features whenever we migrate to our own format.

Quoting: STiAT<caugh>..

sudo pacman -Sy openssl-1.0

openssl-1.0 is not enough because it just installs libssl.so etc in /usr/lib/openssl-1.0/. So if a game link to libssl.so.1.0.0 (most of the case) it won't work, and if it links to libssl.so, you still need to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0

I suspect this only works with RCT2 game files? I know all the original RCT1 maps should be there, but does the engine support extra mechanics that were cut from RCT1? I wasn't playing any of the originals, but wife was playing RCT1 a lot and always mentioned how she missed the ability to set separate entry fees for each attraction IIRC. This video should explain what I mean: https://youtu.be/-ZuI2SlzuM4?t=6m1s

He clearly needs support as he can't even afford light-bulbs. Unfortunately I just spent $7k on a couple of kick-starter projects so that's it for KS2017, for me.

Yes, it usually works that way, however it won't be counted as a Linux sale right now. That's too bad since, yeah, it's about $2 USD right now.

One of my friends said this game was good, so I am interested, but I'll wait.

I rarely have player problems in Dota 2. I am not addicted to the game, but I do have 165 hours logged.

Also, can't you use Google numbers in your four-people-in-a-home scenario? Is that a loophole?

Hopefully it gets resolved before I run my next routine updates. (I don't update every day.) I'll check the status of this problem before I do so! Thanks for the heads-up.

Switch to a different distro over this? Ha! Haaaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaaa

Well, I update every week for reasons such as this. However, if it still breaks my system without that upgrade, I have three other USB sticks to go through.

Got Chaos reborn, I will get this too.
I hope he remakes Laser squad and Magic & mayhem too.
Great time to be a linux gamer.

I had no idea this existed, thank you for sharing! Do you mind feeding my kids? I'm afraid I have something else to do now. :-)

Quoting: DMJCUh you know right that Overload is being made BY THE MAKERS OF DESCENT right? Parallax Software split into Volition Inc and Outrage. Parallax Software was started in 1993 by Matt Toschlog and Mike Kulas. Mike then started Volition Inc, before leaving recently to start working on Overload. If anything it's the new Descent that's ripped off Descent. Mike Kulas is just making the game he's always made. Overload is the true heir to the Descent franchise. The new Descent game is some guys that got a license from Interplay, it has nothing to do with Descent. On another note, I'll add that I met Mike Kulas online back in the early 2000s on the Freespace 2 forums. He is one of the loveliest guys in the industry. Just a really nice guy.

The new Descent is made by a guy who used to enjoy the crap out of playing Descent LAN back in the 90's, and has been in the games industry for a very long while. https://descendentstudios.com/about/team

Great. I may consider buying it when it's actually released with Linux support.

Quoting: GuestIs it yet another turn-based strategy game?

It's another XCOM game, yes.

Quoting: m0nt3

Quoting: neowiz73looks like there's a bit more broken than just openssl, the update for GNOME to 3.24 dropped as well which apparently there are a number of extensions are broken beyond just updating the metadata.json.
Downgrading will break pacman and other parts that depend on the newer version. symlinking is about the only temp fix. but I don't like doing that and it's typically a bad idea.

Looks like I'll be distro hopping for a bit until this is sorted out.

That not what I want to hear. I just switched to gnome from KDE. Do you know what extensions are broken? I have held off updating my arch. I don't really want to roll a new distro, but I don't want to hvae to deal with these issues either.

so far twitchlive_panel, caffeine and openweather. but overall the openssl was what really killed it for me.

I am really having a time issue. I cant even play through 25 percent of the great games feral, obsidian, inxile and others release. I cant keep up their release speed with my gaming speed..

Odd, thinking a few years back considering what we had back then. Basically nothing except publishers and porters going bankrupt until Valve pulled the switch with steam.

I'm in. The man's a genius. I thought Chaos Reborn was great fun and a great remake, only suffering from lack of players.

Quoting: PixelPiI can't see what this have to do with our riddle.

At least it's a direct association. And assumption that Cha supposed to have more importance than other associations is just an assumption, so you can't say it has something more to do with the riddle than the rest.

I don't see any indication that Feral can't be ones who made SW2 for Linux. The only counter argument could be if you know that FWH have Linux developers in-house. Which by now isn't known as I said before.

Anyway, I'd welcome a first game from Feral on GOG. So far there are none.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: 0aTTThere is no strong connection to "MADE TO WADE" or to 茶 - chá.

There is a connection with SW. There is some book character called Wade (and books are accidentally called Shadow Warrior). Make a quick search "Wade Shadow Warrior", and the phrase "made to" reminds me of something mentioned in SW1 in one of the fortune cookies, I need to look it up. Also, the symbol looks like one of the monsters with a helmet in the second game. At least I got such association right away. Overall, on associative scale, I'd vote for SW2.

I can't see what this have to do with our riddle. You have a connection to Wade by a name. But this is far away to solve the riddle. This is just an association.

茶 + MADE TO WADE = cha

This reminds me on Bayonettas Cha Cha Slide:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7eF3rLMyVY

:)

Just kidding. But there are currently a lot of rumors about new Bayonetta Games/Ports.

While I'm sure that also SW2 will come to Linux, I doubt strongly that Feral will make the port. They already had confirmed a Linux version:

http://linuxgamenews.com/post/121296721452/shadow-warrior-2-coming-to-linux-mac-pc-in-2016
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/sadly-it-looks-like-shadow-warrior-2-wont-be-a-day-1-linux-release.7982

So they announce it first, then they do not talk about it anymore and then Feral creates a riddle for it?

What kind of chaotic strategy is this? :)

Sounds awesome indeed, but their last game was quite medicore... I guess it would be good to have it funded, but I am not sure if I want to invest in it personally.

Procedural destructible environments? Designed by Gollop? And with potentially interesting factions?This is the 3d X-COM I've been waiting for. I'm properly and thoroughly hyped, ladies and gentlemen.

Not a game really in my strike zone, but I got a snicker out of the bit at the end of the trailer where it first says "The fate of humanity is in your hands!" and then "No pressure."
