Rust Survival Game Updated With Better Performance & Linux Fixes
By RaymondTerrific , 25 February 2014 at 10:59 pm UTC

Good to see they are paying attention to Rust's Linux users.

With Garry's mod Linux users get ignored. This 9 month old bug for example. Mounting Source content in Gmod isn't important or anything... Good thing someone not on the payroll stepped up and offered a temporary fix. Not a peep from Garry about it and the other mods just offer cocky comments.

OK, I got it, you have to use the mouse to click on the "1" in the upper left corner. Not instinctive !
Then the game is... pre-8 bit style regarding the controls, if you see what I mean ;) But the music is very nice.

Seems really nice but I can't make it work on my KUbuntu 13.10 64bit.
Original message was: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But I installed: sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2:i386
and then it started but the welcome screen is animated but I can't get into the game. Any key brings me to an empty but animated screen where I can only go back to the welcome screen by pressing ESC. Any idea ?

Yes we should, some of us only like to use steam. While I like having DRM free for backup purposes, I pretty much only use steam to play games. I prefer steam to manage my games.[/quote]
Same here, I used to play DRM-free version of the bundle games before I discovered steam (and it was only because DN3D was only redeemable there). Now I pretty much only use steam and don't really play games that are not there (with a notable exception of Rocks'n'Diamonds ;-). Desura isn't that bad either, save for constant hangups and lack of achievements or cloud save.

Can't wait to play this. Hopefully Valve doesn't have too much difficulty bringing this out of the beta.

My priority is still DRM-Free. Steam is nice to have.

Man, what a relief - this is great news. Portal 2 to play again is superb... once I get my house move out of the way and have a computer again. Argh!!!

And Stanley Parable should be hot on its heel. Amazing news. Superb!

Developer Sells Game On IndieGameStand DRM Free, Then Removes DRM Free Version
By , 25 February 2014 at 9:26 pm UTC

Quoting: s_dBravo to IGS for this! I'm pretty happy to support IGS, and that sentiment is growing rapidly as time passes.

Thank you for the nice words!

At the end of the whole situation, it worked out well for everyone. Panic Arts was new to the PC market and did not understand the mistake that was made. They resolved the situation quickly and fixed the DRM-Free version.

I'd like to thank Panic Arts for making a great game and solving this quickly, as well as thank the community for being supportive.

No Beatbuddy soundtrack. :-( Which is weird, because there is OST included for all of the other games.

Quoting: PKMDid anyone else notice that the Steam counter for Linux games went from 538 to 338? What's up with that?
You can find the counter by going into the Linux games tab, it just says "games".
doesnt count DLC's anymore i guess

I think that's correct. It more or less matches up with SteamDB's number now: http://steamdb.info/linux/

I started paying average linux all to charity on day one, and after all games have been released and tested i pay 25$ shared among those games that really deserved... its not fair to give the same amount to giana sisters (0$ this time) than to the swapper...
