Quoting: DesumThe original game was made in the open source Panda3D game engine. I wonder if the sequel will be too...

Tag of Joy seems to have used Unity for their last project, so my bet would be on this one.

I loved the first one (so many years ago), and was so happy to hear it being announced, natively, and with a developer involved that already has delivered something. Great news!

Quoting: robvvLooks quite appealing and has quite a unique art style. The Linux system requirements show 32GB RAM, whereas Windows requires '4 GB RAM MB RAM', whatever that is!

Even better, the requirements are "Memory: 32 GB RAM
Storage: 4 MB available space"

That's a hell of a lot of compression if the tiny 4 MB file can balloon up to 32 GB when you try to use it.

Zip bomb. :D

QuoteWhat have you been playing recently? Be sure to recommend some fun stuff in the comments.

Prim!

If you're into point and click, do play!
(Some people didn't like the card game. Well, I was able to cope. :) )

Quoting: JustinWoodI'm a bit confused, you pointed out that it doesn't have a "built-in battery" but also said that it can do 12 hours on battery via bluetooth.

I think he meant it has got a built-in battery and not replaceable ones. The sentence about what it does not have is a bit quirky.

Quoting: chickenb00I wish Valve would incorporate AMD Chill into SteamOS: when I stop providing inputs, after a second or two drop my fps to my target minimum. When input occurs immediately ramp up fps to my target max.

I never heard of that one?!?
(And I didn't meet it. I'm usually playing stuff like point and click, but I did run some benchmarks, which should suffer from the same problem?)

It's not an issue that you'd come across, rather a feature that you intentionally activate to preserve battery life. I would hate it for most games personally, but in a few genres like puzzle games where I might look at a mostly static screen for a long time trying to figure out a solution, it makes sense.

Ah! I thought the fps drop would be the bug - not the feature. :D

Bad things have been said about Atari, probably for good reason, but it seems like they're building up some cool retro portfolio?

Quoting: robvvMostly negative reviews now on the Steam forums. This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing from angry penguins!

I don't find Linux mentioned in the first negative reviews though...

The original demo put the game on my wish list. So to be honest, I don't feel I'd want to play the new demo. I know enough. :)
