Factorio Building & Crafting Sim Matures With New Trailer
By migizi, 6 May 2014 at 7:19 pm UTC
Quoting: GuestNice trailer! (Even though it doesn’t show any gameplay… But there’s a demo so it’s okay.) I don’t like unfinished games though so I’ll wait.

After playing the game you wouldn't really know it was unfinished. I guess I haven't looked to see what else they want to add but the game is very fun. I found it worth my money and will probably play for a long time.

It's also interesting to see that they used Allegro since I haven't heard of any recent games coming out that use it.
Mark of the Old Ones, A Metroidvania Physics Platformer Needs One Small Push
By migizi, 6 May 2014 at 7:17 pm UTC
I bought a license for the engine a few years ago and was going to use it for my development. The community is pretty up tight. I mentioned using emscripten to make a WebGL game and they got upset. They started to delete my posts on the forum. Since documentation isn't the best you need the community to help you. Since we didn't get along I couldn't proceed. So I walked away from it.

Quoting: migiziIt looks pretty interesting. It's kind of hard, for me personally, to back the project. I want to support anyone offering Linux support but on the other hand I don't really want to help anyone using the C4 engine.

Interesting never heard anything bad of C4 engine, what's your beef with it?

What I love the most from the video are the sounds! That coupled with the scanline and crt monitor effect and it's a instant-buy from me!

Unvanquished Open Source FPS & RTS Alpha 27, Jetpacks Included
By FutureSuture, 6 May 2014 at 2:49 pm UTC
I have to agree, Liam, the jetpack looks out of place, at least in that image. I appreciate all the effort that the developers are putting into Unvanquished, however.

Desura Announce A New Embeddable Widget, Accounts No Longer Needed To Buy Games
By Liam Dawe, 6 May 2014 at 2:13 pm UTC
Quoting: DaVinceThe only thing I'm worried about is that there's no links in the widget to the actual game page on Desura. So you have to do a manual search if you really want to know anything more about the game.

Yeah, that also bugged me a little bit, but it's meant for the developer site directly, so all the info you need is supposed to be on the page it's in.

I saw this boiling over on the Jimquisition:

Afterwards on the forums the dev was offering (jokingly) the "Jim Sterling edition" for $100 a pop for Jim's fans. Quite the troll, this Muxwell.
SuperTuxKart Open Source Racer Is Going Graphical With A New Engine
By FutureSuture, 6 May 2014 at 1:27 pm UTC
Quoting: MikeThey should really sell this on steam to help fund the project and game engine (which would then help other devs by giving them a good open source game engine to work with). There's nothing to say that open source means no profit, and those who still want it for free could still get it.
I agree with this. That is how the elementary OS team does it as well. It offers elementary OS as a download for a default 10$ but allows people to download elementary OS for free right below that offer. I really would like to see SuperTuxKart gain more attention and funding.

Valve really does need some community managers. People that can keep an eye on everything, and also to play games (only an hour or two needed) to weed out the trash.

Steam is an awesome place to buy games, and to talk about those games, but when you're buying a game from a publisher that isn't one of the big ones, you run the risk that you paid a lot of money for 5 minute trash.

Good on Valve for stepping up on this one. Though I'm a bit amazed the "game" made it as far as it did.

Nice, I'll buy this it seems like it might be good, although secondary reason is that I may or may not be going to develop on that engine but every game I play on it will help me know better if it's suited for my purposes or not :)

Yeah the game looked way too fast I don't know if it was sped up...The guy also has a tough time staying in the small path/track.

Postal 2 DLC progressing

Steam Workshop integration is done, meaning they can move on to their other outstanding points:
Quoting: RWSFirst we'll tidy up the Steam release for DRM free (which is a little bit of work, we want to make it so the Steam workshop mods also work with the DRM free build if manually installed, using the same menu system). Then we'll pass both builds off to Ryan to do his magic.

Codemasters Looking At Supporting Linux, GRID Autosport Possible
By , 5 May 2014 at 10:49 pm UTC
The FIA Formula E Simulator is also probably on the way to Linux. But this sounds like it will be something different from the usual racing sim with features like racing live with the real events and such.
