i played SS2 with the native client(beta installer from loki). didn't have any problems.
played co-op with friend on the windows client. for me it worked well without issues.
HD version would be really nice if they get ported to linux as well. tho they work great through wine.

Fair enough. I don't think I've played any of them natively, though I have heard that the SS2 port wasn't properly launched/completed/whatever.

I would never complain about a game being too out of date or some such complaint.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 5359, member: 6"I debate that point - the older Serious Sam ports are of such dubious quality I would definitely not sell them. It would be interesting if they ported the new HD remakes of their earlier titles though, especially since they use the same engine as SS3.

The original Serious Sam is the only one I've played and I thought that was on-par with stuff that was being released at the time.

Greets!

I'm looking forward to trying Open RPG Maker. It looks like a cool program. A couple of notes:

I tried signing up for the forum, but I haven't gotten the email yet. I checked my spam folder, but it's not in there either. You might want to look into that. :)
I run OpenGameArt.org, which is an archive of art and music for open source games. We recently ran a contest called the Liberated Pixel Cup, where we had people make 32x32 tile based RPG graphics, which I'd encourage you to include with the program:
[LIST]

The original art set that we started with: http://lpc.opengameart.org/static/lpc-style-guide/assets.html
The art entries for the contest: http://opengameart.org/lpc-art-entries (they're of varying quality, but I encourage you to check through them, because there are some really amazing ones)
We also have a big set of 16x16 tiles and sprites: http://opengameart.org/content/oga-16x16-jrpg-sprites-tiles
You might also check out some of the music we have too. The only thing I'd advise you about our art is to make sure you include a credits file with it. I can help you with that if need be.

[/LIST]
Anyway, keep up the good work! :)

Plural because of 'games' or because of 'devs'? Games, since they said they will port SS3 and there were two before that and devs since it was a statement from the lead of the development team, therefore from the devs.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5352"In the least, Serious Sam games will be there quite soon (the devs said so themselves).

Plural?

It's worth the wait, can't put it down myself!

Feh, I missed the kickstarter for this :(

A real pity to, game looks very good, but I have to wait until the 14th.

That's why I said I hope and not expect. ;)

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5350"Ah, I missed it first, thanks for answering. The Portal stuff is listed on Marlamin. I hope two weeks at most. I can't wait that long!

Better to expect that it'll be a month or two away and possibly be pleasantly surprised than assume it'll be sooner and potentially wind up disappointed, I say.

I would anticipate that there would be a longer, slower staged beta than the Steam Community enhancements received, as the underlying technical hurdles are more significant, and the variables more external (with the Steam Community update, the boundaries of technical problems are within the scope of the Steam website and client. At worst, the least 'controllable' aspect would be end user browser variations, whereas there's a lot of potential stuff that could create problematic experiences for beta testers of the Linux Steam client).

There's also the aspect of the Steam client's full functionality not being usable without some titles to play, so the time for testing/deploying betas of a handful of native titles seems like it would be inherently within the scope of the Steam client's beta.

I'm not saying that it won't happen within a couple of weeks, it's just that most of the stuff involved seems to point to a longer timeframe than a shorter one (that said, we don't really have an accurate idea of how far along Valve are with native development, and we don't know what kind of beta launch events they might have planned - either of which could severely truncate or extend the time to a beta launch).

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5345"No, no. What was in the news post was how long it went from closed beta to everyone. What I'm asking is how long it took from CDR to closed beta. Could give us a timeframe for that.

Actually, I had both. CDRs on the 10th of July, August 21st for the first round of PotC beta participants (we have no information on any other/internal beta stuff), and September the 5th for general availability ^_^

Also, somebody has pointed out that Portal has been added to the Linux sub. I haven't had a chance to look into it, but that's interesting news.

I've started to think so after the Music bundle. Less than two weeks and there's Android.

Also, they added Portal to the Linux subscription. So everyone gets Portal again, like the million times before.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5345"After looking further, a bunch of others also have 5th September as the date there. They must have been doing some cleaning up. Although the new one is still over the number of bundles. They'll probably be releasing another one. Too bad, it's too often now.

I have to agree, but then again, I have been thinking that for awhile now.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5339"Anyone have any idea how long it took from adding the Steam Community Beta to the CDR to it being handed out?

That was in the news post (of course as I say, there's no sensible reason to expect that timeframes between a client beta on a new platform and an update to Steam's web services are going to be even remotely similar) ^_^

So far as beta access goes, there was a comment from Valve that said that anybody who was interested in being involved with the beta could get "on the list" by replying to that comment, or by sending an email to [email protected] (there's a summary of Valve comments on that blog post [URL='http://gamingonlinux.com/index.php?threads/new-valve-linux-blog-post-talks-about-performance.972/#post-5174']here[/URL] if you're interested.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5340"Oh, and also: [URL='http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/16521']1[/URL], [URL='http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/16522']2[/URL], [URL='http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/16523']3[/URL]. Looks like a new Humble is coming

It's been there for a few days. It's going to be very interesting to see how this shapes up.

I found an article on how to clean up Nvidia drivers mess. I don't think it's Compiz per se because before I installed new drivers I had no issues with performance in games. So I will give it a shot and will post an update.

This time I got ffmpeg working on Windows so after capturing video with Fraps I convert it into MP4 and upload it to YouTube. That's how I did all the videos except maybe a few that don't play on Linux (that was Fraps AVI directly uploaded to YouTube).

No idea what you did differently this time motorstep, but this time the video worked perfectly with HTML 5 and WebM. :D

And it is looking very good too - I always wondered what id Tech 4 could really be made to do with more creative use.

ubuntu with unity is known to have perf issues. (hint! compiz)
unity 2d should work better..or some other desktop environments like xfce or mate.

Looks like a new Humble is coming. And it might be an Indie one, although they marked the first two Androids like so and later changed it.

Just seems too soon. Too damn soon.

Well, I'd imagine they will start with throwing it at the people who actively use Steam under Wine and/or have lots of Linux compatible games (or Source games to test). Hopefully, this will mean I'm getting mine soon, because I can't wait to play Portal 2, TF2 and Left 4 Dead 2 natively. It's almost perfect under wine, but almost is not good enough.

Anyone have any idea how long it took from adding the Steam Community Beta to the CDR to it being handed out?

Quoting: "dimko, post: 5335"I am typically first to bitch about any issues, but this did look good.
Though after first game of this stria, i realised, this sort of games are not for me. It does look good, none the less.

Thanks :) What kind of games are for you?
