A Post-mortem On Porting Two Titles To Linux, One Year Of Porting
By , 8 May 2014 at 11:03 am UTC

Why are we even listening to this man? Deadfall Adventures has to be the worst Linux port I have ever bought. I wouldn't take his words seriously, but rather listen to Valve or any other developer who actually make things good and not terrible. Deadfall is just a mess and they don't ship updates to fix the remaining serious bugs. Terrible mouse input, terrible shader porting (lots of the shaders render just black or white squares). It's really the worst porting job ever done.

it's a shame that you jumped the gun... I came pretty close; I've been excited for this game for a while.

Whelp, come June 1st, you'll be able to pick it up on Steam :D

Quoting: drmothJohn's been talking about how good the writing is in this project in his video updates...I hope this is the case.

I've had the opportunity to play the latest development version and the writing has been notably improved over the initial beta and earlier alpha versions :)

Don't rush them, one step at a time, now it's time for Civ V. ;-)
lol...Civ V will not come..but the next Civ Beyond

Well, to be honest, it makes a lot of sense to port Civ V, if not for general Linux machines, for SteamOS, because it is one of the most played AND most owned games on all Steam. And if Steam wants to push it's OS on the mainstream, a huge game like Civ V it is really a plus for that.

Broken Rules Are Considering Open Sourcing Their Game Engine
By , 7 May 2014 at 11:47 pm UTC

QuoteFor it to be useful in my opinion is to have something like an official fully open github repo for it, where people can put up issues, submit code and more. Then it would be useful.

Uh, if it is not proprietary (as in GPL for instance), you, or I, or anyone can put up a fully open github repo.

Torque 2D Game Engine Offers Full Linux Support In New Update
By Sabun, 7 May 2014 at 10:18 pm UTC

I just realised this was the 2D version of Torque after studying it on Github, not the Torque3D that was previously rumoured and showcased to come to Linux [even attempted crowd funding]. It is a step in the right direction, and I'm glad we have another engine supporting Linux, even if only partially.

I bought it last year and enjoyed it immensely, certainly sinking enough time into it to justify the price tag (can't recall if it was on sale or not). It is a pity we won't be seeing any more development though. I was looking forward to what the next version might bring.

Fantastic news, playing Riven native in Linux...never crossed my mind.
At the same time, the project began in 2008 and likely will take another few years to complete, so I sent them 20 bucks to hurry up :)

Anyway, an earlier demo from them, looks fantastic:

And that's why you should think twice before buying games in Early Access stage. You pay for an unfinished game and you have the chance that the bugs will never get fixed because the developers quits the project
