Did 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".

It's cool that they put fez in there! This is quite the bundle. I already have it, though. Oh well! I was hoping they'd bring back Dustforce or something. We still don't have that officially on Steam, despite it being in an older bundle. :( You guys should get in touch with the devs about that one. Or an article all about games with linux versions only available in bundles...? Glad Trine 1 will be on Steam officially soon.

Sadly, I would actually buy the game if it was Native Linux. Since the ubiquity of Steam for Linux (and now SteamOS), I haven't been buying anything that's not native.

Sound is working for me on Debian Jessie.

Logitech F710 gamepad works out of the box, although maybe not all of the buttons were mapped correctly, I'm not sure (I only noticed I couldn't Quit from the title screen with the Back button until I ran through the controller configuration screen).

Quoting: pbMaybe it's just me, but the install is 0 bytes and trying to start gives back "missing executable" (of course). I've had the empty install for a while now, but I tried uninstalling and installing again just a minute ago, with the same outcome.

Same here.

Quoting: DuncKitten, I heard the exact opposite, that it tended to force you into the Keynesian tax-and-spend model. In fact, that's why I didn't buy it.

Did you not think it possible that what Kitten was hoping for was far beyond the realm of plain Keynesian economics?

just tested, works for me but there's no sound.
And I cant remember anything about it, so I'm pretty much stuck on the very first level :D

I just bought it from the Humble Store, since I prefer to get DRM-free games as well as Steam keys when possible, and it's downloading for me in Steam, 107.5MB.

Mind you, a game about being a politician in a truly free market society would hardly be very engaging: what would the player do? Sit back and watch? CoD wouldn't be much fun if everyone put down their guns and talked it out over a nice cup of tea, and games about running big governments wouldn't be much fun if there was hardly any government to run.

So I suppose it's fair enough. Not for me, though.

I have a FANTASTIC opportunity for a young Linux enthusiast - please can you pass around to anybody that may be looking for a internship/job.:)

Hahaha

These poor devs. By the sounds of that article, I don't think they realize Linux is free... Someone send a Linux Mint ISO to these guys!

Game looks great. However if they are really this behind the ball; I doubt we will be getting Linux support :(

Quoting: Xpander-does it now have a way to go inside the buildings (i found that pretty annoying that you couldnt)

I doubt it. They said that won't be happening.

One should take a note that the game is rather tilted towards a capitalist economy and free-market tendencies and it shows. If that's what you're trying to make, I'll guess it'll be fun for you, but it is not a simulator of anything else.

Quoting: aR-Have you heard of ShiVa Engine ?

No, I still question how long the engine will stay around. It went through a period of time where it was seeing no updates or communication from the developers. Then, if I remember correctly, their parent company went under and there was news that the engine was going to close down. I can't really invest money in a product when I don't know the viability of the company. They are talking about version 2.0 but I'll believe it when I see it.

After asking on IRC and locating the preference file I managed to change the resolution in there to the correct one for my desktop. After that the mouse bug was not affecting me anymore. :)

Central planning never works, not even in video games.

Quoting: migiziI'm pretty interested in this engine. The only thing I don't like is it's OpenGL 4.0+. It eats into about 20% of the Steam user base, not sure about those outside of Steam. I've got a license for C4 Engine, tried out Unigine (great guys to work with) too expensive for me right now, Unity requires you to work in Windows, Ogre3D is limited to OpenGL2.1 and work on 3.0 is experimental. Irrlicht and OpenSceneGraph are the same way. (OSG will say they work with OGL 3+ but it's use at your own peril kind of thing)

As long as this works, without big issues, for Linux I'm probably going to get a license for it. I can deal with losing about 20% potential market for a nice easy to use engine. The price is decent as well.

Have you heard of ShiVa Engine ?

played last time when it came to steam with its alpha program.
..

-does it now have a way to go inside the buildings (i found that pretty annoying that you couldnt)
-does it have coop/multiplayer now?


those 2 things were my main concerns about this..

other than that it seemed pretty good game..might give it another go at some point

Using XFCE I am also having an issue with the mouse.

I have set it to not go fullscreen in the config file. But that still does not seem to fix it for me unfortunately.

Any other fixes available?

I watched the Catapult for hire video with DansGaming and it seems like a really great idea for a puzzle game. Kinda reminded me more of Portal with the depth than of Pain. It's great to see a single developer being able to do something like this.

I've been waiting for a big sale on this one since it came out.

Quoting: liamdaweHigher OpenGL requirement is like 32/64bit, if people don't push something it will stay around too long.

You forget that mesa controls the opensource OpenGL version available. OGL 3.3 was just released with mesa 10. We aren't likely to see OGL 4+ in mesa for a couple more years. (I could be wrong since people are working on OGL 4+ features already.) If Intel continues to gain ground in graphics then you have a large user base that is dependent on a library that doesn't move nearly as fast as binary blobs from AMD/Nvidia. Supporting Linux means you need to understand your market and what they can and can't support. There are many people who use only FOSS libraries even when using AMD/Nvidia cards.

If I want to make a game with AAA graphics, then going with the latest standard is expected. If my graphics are middle ground, then requiring the latest and greatest tech makes it sound like I don't know what I'm doing.

OGL 3.3 back ported as much of the OGL 4.0 standard it could. Targeting OGL 3.3 would give you some of the latest tech while supporting the largest user base (besides OGL 2.1)
