So Nightdive Studios remember how to compile for Linux... Nevermind, they are only the publisher this time, thanks developer!

I suppose in theory, especially what with many games being so huge compared to the OS itself, you could distribute a game with its own custom Linux kernel that incorporated the kernel-level anticheat and have it run on that . . . .

Cool, but I'm probably just gonna stick with the Sega Saturn version still. 🪐

Noice! Finally raising a drawbridge isn't an "I win" button any more.

So wonky, I love it. It almost feels like the video game version of deep wisdom memes that go like "I'm cringe but I'm free" or "you have to accept your cringe before you can truly grow as person" or something

On Linux yes, it will only ever be user-space. Kernel-level always means how it is on Windows, and ACE is kernel-level.

@LiamDawe there isn't a kernel anti cheat though, I've already been debugging this for a day and it's caused by invalid rbp register during and unwind. It's only userspace ACE

I've seen some of the drama over the years (well decades), and that unfinished sentence seems like a fitting end to the latest events. I'm sure that the other developers' reactions can only look harsh from the outside.

I want to highlight Kinsie's comment on GitHub as I think it is very accurate:

The recent progress under the more collaborative, team-based practices of late has been magnificent. It'd be a pity to see that get undermined.

Good improvement. Very nice. I remember being annoyed discovering that I could have saved some money by using a different bundle after I bought a game.

Finally! This beta update fixes my Bluetooth issue with my Dualsense controller where the game would keep the "Down" button pressed at all time... (Proton version)

I really got to try this one, but I've still got a cold, so I'm not big on reflexes at the moment.

I also had a blast this year playing through Avowed which is a ue5 game and had absolutely zero stuttering or other performance issues. It looked and played amazingly.

edit: side note ... the steam app itself is really shitting the bed recently isn't it? The other day my next fest page was completely screwed up and nonsensical, now today clicking the link on a dev is completely broken! If you go to the store page for Outer Worlds 1 and click on Obsidian as the dev, it takes you to the completely wrong place ... It goes to Private Division instead. I thought I was going crazy for a minute forgetting who even developed Avowed. But nope, store is just broken.

Yeah, bit of an odd comment. The direction of this game is incredibly clear. You go through rounds of brick breaking with your magical balls, then go back to do a little town building for extra resources and character unlocking. Repeat. I know some games really can be confusing, but I truly don't see how this can be.

It's got a really solid engine… I wish it were more popular than U-Stutter Engine

Well, Unreal Engine is free to use for all developers with the source available, the latest id tech is just their own.

Haemimont Games are the ones doing this still.

without clear direction

But there is a clear direction: Up the screen!

This whole thing reminds me of the openoffice/libreoffice split all those years ago. I remember at the time going "whoa, this is a huge deal" and not being sure how it would all work out.

Now, a bunch of years later, libreoffice is THE defacto gold standard, it's used and liked (mostly lol) everywhere, and I haven't even heard of openoffice in an eternity. I did just now look it up, but it looks like abandonware. Apparently Apache runs it? But it hasn't been updated in two years.

So basically a survival game without the prospect of imminent death. Sounds fun.

Tried the demo: loved it. Bought the game D-1: loved it.
Very interesting mixes of game play: action during fight mode and ''construction'' in between.
Loved the graphic style also.
I recommend.

thank you for the highlight @gamingonlinux

Just donated. My first open source patch was a fix for KDE 1.0. Been participating in open source ever since.

Hard pass. Loved the original game, but not enough to hand over cash for what any other game would be a free update.

Hamaimont Games, the original devs, haven't been involved for a long time now. The last two DLC were not well received (buggy, poor design) so it's hard to get excited over more. So I'm not seeing the attraction, tbh. It's just a cash grab.

Unreal Engine does not have to stutter, most devs simply don't care.

See Satisfactory for example, one of the best running and even complex UE5 games I ever played and doesn't even stutter with tons of factories on screen.

Which makes me assume other devs simply don't care.

Paradox double-dip? That's a "hell no".

Let me guess they disabled forced ray tracing on handhelds?

This might be the closest I'll ever be to owning a camper van... But the base building and crafting mechanism doesn't really appeal :(

No Native build this time.

I liked the original, might give this a try at 19,99 if it's a native build
