Quoting: hardpenguinIf it wasn't for Unity being the current industry standard, I would love to spend some time with Defold and Godot as well 😢

If we go by marketshare Windows is the standard of consumer operating systems yet here we all are using Linux. You should use what you want to use regardless of what the lemmings are telling you to use.

Unity is also supported on Linux ,so... , why is that a bad thing?
I wish Godot would focus more on the 3D part and on the Vulkan api.

I am currently working on a crossplatformed 3D game in Unity with vulkan.
Wish Godot would have been more developed since I encountered a lot of problems in Unity , and a lot of "reverse engineer" to actually realise how the engine developers wanted to use their engine.

Not to mention that everything in Unity is now like a beta, even the asset store , since they developed multiple pipelines 90% of the assets work only on 1 pipeline and not the others so it's a hit or miss.
Shaders that only work for one pipeline and not the others etc.
And now? They want to remove the Built in Render Pipeline , they already modified the lwrp to urp , and the hdrp is a complete mess , basically breaking the hard work of many people.
Sure you can still use them but they have no future.

All of that and still, sadly , it doesn't come close to the lack of features that Godot has.
Waiting for the future development of Godot.

Godot is open source and Unity is not. That is my main reason. Bugs have a better chance of getting fixed and features of getting added in open source software. Whatever you think Godot lacks over Unity you could literally add if you were so inclined. Whatever Unity may lack you can't just make it yourself as easily.

Quoting: PhlebiacAs noted on Phoronix, Linux users will want to steer clear of these for a while:

Can't buy them anywhere right now regardless so that will be easy to do.

I'm really looking forward to these Intel desktop GPUs because Intel GPUs usually work with FLOSS distros such as Trisquel. These may not be super gaming cards but as far as what GPUs are available for that niche they kick the crap out of the Intel UHD GPUs and a GTX 780 Ti using Nouveau so it's a step in the right direction.

Hopefully it also comes to GOG like the original did.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceSo this is where we are in Linux gaming ? Getting in bed with intrusive DRM is met with cheers ? Guess I can't be shocked we're no better than the rest of the PC gaming platform on that regard. I was already more willing to support Itch.io or GOG for their DRM practices and I see this news as strengthening that and pushing me farther away from Steam. It's bad enough they allow games on their store to use Denuvo but to bake it into Steamworks is a worse step not a better one. They have the market and the clout to fight against this nonsense but it just shows they value money above all else which is something that those who say they love Linux should start opening their eyes to.

More like: this is just the world we live in. If you want to play competitive games online, they need anti-cheat because humans are terrible and cheat sometimes with big bot networks to ruin things for everyone. The problem is not the anti-cheat, it's humans being shits.

If the use of Denuvo was restricted to online games you may have a point but there are plenty of single player games that use it as well.

That report pretty much agrees with most I see which is to say that if the Linux share of your sales is above normal then your game probably didn't sell very well. That being said I love their enthusiasm as well as them mentoning that they are using Godot for future projects. I had forgotten about Lenna's Inception, it just got lost in my backlog. I'll have to rectify that.

I knew I wouldn't like VVVVVV but I bought it on sale anyway. I did so due to the source code being opened. That is the effect it had on me. I give small amounts of money each month to open source games even if I don't like them because I support what they are doing.

Hopefully they use Coreboot.
