So I tried out the demo of Harvest, seems like it could be pretty cool, only did the tutorial level so far though.

Serious Sam II is, or at least was, playable on Linux with a little work.

wierd, I know the 64bit version had an issue, I didn't know about the 32bit. Glad it was fixed somehow all the same!

Thanks for sharing the news! I just hadn't gotten over here yet! You beat me to it! haha

By the way, I uploaded a "Bloopers" video that shows some of the funnier bugs found during the game's development:

32/64?

There's an update coming out when Desura finally authorizes it. See if that fixes the issue.

no, turned it of, restarted game exact same error. tried all the gl extension on off, same effect.
also after so many restarts I only saw the splash screen at the start once, 90% of the time its just a gray pannel

Hi Bumadar, does turning off occlusion query help?

I remember Shogo Hamish, I'll probably go with something similar to how Ace Combat did it though.

The new cockpit and the glass effects really make all the difference when it comes to screenshots. :)

When it comes to the dialog feeds, I would suggest that you take a look at how Shogo did it back in the day as that seems like a pretty good template for how it should be done in my opinion.

Though having an actual textbox appear with the dialog may potentially be a bit distracting for a space sim. Something I think you should think about though.

The art is great, and although short i have to say easily one of the best indie games I have played this year.

The character art is too weird-looking for me and the story seems bizarre, but it's got some neat game mechanics.

hi rusty, some remarks:

- when I press launch after mission 1 briefing I get: Segmentation fault, nothing more, nothing less.
- when pressing space to skip the intro briefing you might want to put in a " loading..." as it looks for about 5sec that it all froze up, same goes when you clock on the sector to launch (so just before the mission 1 briefing)

Cool. Should make it easier to post GOG related Linux news. ;)

That's one thing about running Linux. Having questionable hardware vendor support means you really have to research before you buy (it's hard to argue that that's a negative thing anyway, though - it's always good to be aware of what you're getting).

Feel free, and oops I have updated it now :)...should work.

Doesn't work for normal users, only for guests. Can you "repair" this?

I'm not so good in english but I can write some news about Linux Games ([URL='http://gry.ubuntu-pomoc.org']here's[/URL] my site if links are allowed). In case of language error in my articles you can correct them ;)

My laptop has no bios setting at all for Optimus the bios seems quite limited :(

I shall be watching from the side line hoping to see some progress on the Optimus front and keeping a Linux partition open. I will probably install Ubuntu 12.10 and keep up to date I'm hoping it will fix my hard lock up problems too - i really want that to go away as I like to develop websites on Linux as it has everything I need so easily :(

Hamish has also kindly joined the team to hopefully do reviews (was a long time coming we looked into a couple different mods for the forum but none do the job).

If anyone else would like to be able to post news please let me know, any help while I am playing a waiting game would be awesome.

Quoting: "bv2, post: 4761"I think you can buy laptop with Nvidia graphic card (without Optimus):

T510 W520 can switch between Intel and Nvidia in bios (or Optimus), has some limitations to output ports though.

Quoting: "Qantourisc, post: 4757, member: 181"http://www.happypenguin.org/ allows users to submit updates.

I think there's still a moderation aspect to it, though. I submitted my update about Dirk Dashing 2 v0.9.2, and it still hasn't been posted. Doesn't look like the main page has been updated in 3 weeks.

We'll miss you, Liam. Thanks for starting this site. Hope someone takes over and keeps it going.

That said, I think it was a good move for you to allow developers to post their news and have it show up directly on the home page. That must have decreased your work load a little bit, since you didn't have to copy and paste developers' e-mails and create the news articles yourself. And devs get to share their news immediately.

Optimus sucks, see "The finger" on Slashdot recently :)
Options usually:

Don't by Optimus laptops
Use a OS NVidia cares to support
(I can't bare Windows, so not an option for me.)

Make sure you buy a laptop capable of switching between your intergrated and your Nvidia card
(mine has this, and this is OK for me.)

Don't buy a laptop.
(I didn't buy my laptop for gaming.)

(I can't switch without rebooting, but I'll live.)

thank you for all your hard work Liamdawe, really sad to see you go though and hope there is someone who has the time to take over.

I find my updates from reddit, other gaming webstes, game websites directly and people directly email them.

I cannot update my nvidia drivers from an official driver download as using Optimus the official installers don't install on Linux as it's not the main card (the current available 295 series thats via a .deb don't support my card, the 302 unstable series don't work and the guys from the bumblebee project where no help blaming the drivers, so I literally have no choice).

Also to add to it because of my hardware my desktop will freeze constantly, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes it can be an hour, no explainable reason either - pretty sure it's a driver issue that will be ironed out (i had the same thing a couple years back on my old but new at the time pc) so that's another reason I have to now use Windows.

http://www.happypenguin.org/ allows users to submit updates.
But I also check GOL, because any site seem to miss a few updates ...

Where DO you find your updates ?
And the other question is: why aren't they submitting them itself ?

Maybe that's a smarter path ?
