A great read indeed and well worth the wait. Thanks for sharing!

Nice to see that this new Vulkan backend is a bit faster on Windows/AMD than their slightly more mature DX12 backend according to comments. Doesn't mean anything, but still feels good. :)

Nice to see that Tesla Effect works now. I got this game as a gift and I really want to play it at some point. There's not much hope of a Linux port ever materialising.

This does look rather nice. A thirty-hour story campaign as well. I wonder if it's all about the RNG though. That could kill the enjoyment for me, like it did with Hand of Fate. Some of the Steam reviews seem to suggest that's the case.

Knights of the Sky... what a blast of nostalgia. I must've played tons of it on the Amiga. Almost as much as Red Baron 2 on the PC a few years later. Don't know how well they've aged though.

This seems fun. I'll check it out when it's out of Early Access.

Awesome news. I could do with some RnR on a 2D farm after I'm done with all the hectic 3D action (Alien Isolation, SR IV, Mordor) I've got on my plate this summer.

QuoteStardew Valley is going to be an early birthday present for me, as it's releasing for Linux on July 29th (my birthday being the 30th).

Mine's the 31st, but close enough. :)

Quoting: TheGZeusthose 3 games are a steal for 1$

Spec-Ops: The Line is the only Linux game in the bundle you'll get for a dollar. You have to pay more than the average ($8.42 at the moment) for Civ V and at least $15 for BL:tPS as well. Still worth it if you happen to like all of them I guess. Although I've played base Civ V and it really needs whichever DLC had the diplomacy stuff to be interesting IMHO.

Quoting: dmantioneAnd let's put the finger where it hurts: You don't have the graphics expected to day.

That's a bit harsh. There are much worse-looking games being sold today, and many of them do just fine. The target audience seems to be fans of old-school and table-top strategy, and they might not expect what you expect. Personally I think the graphics are nice enough.

Selling a game that does not rely on flashy graphics does take some extra marketing savvy though. Reading through the article and skimming the Kickstarter I'm having a hard time seeing what this game brings to the table, beyond not being pay-to-win or casual. Baseless hype is evil, but IMHO some specific selling points need to be brought to the fore to attract attention. You need a hook or two. But maybe I just missed them?

Quoting: Avehicle7887Has anyone tried to run Divinity Original Sin with the new Mesa drivers? I have a laptop with an i3 CPU that would most likely handle the game now that OpenGL 4.x is supported (The CPU in question is an i3-5005u btw).

In the forums Al3s implied that the game does not work with Mesa 12. He seems to be running an AMD GPU though. I see you posted in the same thread earlier, but maybe you missed it.
