Dammit! I wasn't convinced by the video so I tried the demo and now I need this game. Those Ukrainians have created a solid, polished and fun gameplay, I'll be tracking them.

Yeah, the decks are stacked against flexible funding projects, even more so than normal crowdfunding challenges

Just wanted to post a comment to say I'm very impressed about how you manage to continuously stay on top of the Linux gaming news, Liam.
This site is rapidly becoming *the* site for Linux gaming enthusiasts.

Happy to get added, Liam, but suspect that the curse of Flexible Funding will strike here. You never know though.

Calibre 10 Racing Series Linux Version Possibility Is Based On Demand
By mrdeathjr, 13 May 2014 at 3:45 pm UTC

Quoting: AnonymousI hope it feels like Burnout Paradise instead of GRID.

I spent 4 hours last night trying to get Burnout running in Wine 1.7.18 on PlayOnLinux :(

I'll have to see more promo videos, it looks great.

Also looking forward to the "Arcade 90s Racing Game" for Linux :)

On my case burnout works good on wine 1.7.18

It would make more sense to me also have the option to use the mouse, left - attack, right - shield and move with WASD etc. I like the look of this game too.

BTW, shouldn't that be "pain in the arse"? :P

Quoting: TuxiBut it is not the "CryEngine 3" only CryEngine the number has gone away with the new generation. "CryEngine 3" is the version from 2009.
The title has been corrected, not sure where the 3 came from it wasn't in the article itself.

Quoting: oldrocker99Looks vaguely roguelike with some nice graphics, and some (apparently) original gameplay features. Inasmuch as Desura has been crashing over and over for me, I'll wait for Steam to offer it.

Just use the stand-alone downloads from Desura, no need to use the outdated Linux client.

Cryengine is the single most interesting engine for upcoming games imo. That engine is capable of some *insane* visuals.
