Considering open-source is the ultimate zombie I can't imagine anything open source could ever be killed.

I imagine that even if all development haulted someone from X country would pick up the torch and it would be seen through to completion with no challenge to the local laws of X country.

If we really want to, since Linux is already on the International Space Station, we could start our own country on the moon with the new Moon Base coming.

I wonder if this will be a big part of Atari's strategy bringing valued classics back to the hands of consumers easily in 2018 with their new console.

This is as exciting as it was last year to see mesamatrix.net fill in as MESA has grown up.

Wonderful work @all, keep the torch burning and kick some ass -- incredible achievement so far.

I follow this occasionally.

It looks like its from the golden age of gaming. One mans vision crafted carefully into what may develop into an amazing game thats super fun.

My vision is for it to be a sortof MechWarrior meets StarCraft meets GNOME game but well see.

The Textures looked artifacted at first glance but now on closer inspection i see the high res.

@const -- how does a steamlink get bricked? Was the wrong DC brick used on it? That's a first I've heard, I wonder what the warranty is on them.

I predicted that AMD APU's would make market entry affordable and possible witj MESA being in such good shape.

I hope to see a 2018 APU with top notch integrated graphics when it comes.

This could be a big deal. I would be willing to buy in if the specs are right and can do the majority of our games.

Atari is a name that could sell SteamBoxes or Linux Gaming like no one else.

This game looks AMAZING.

It feels very retro and reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D

@charliebrownau -- I suspect that the latest mesa will perform the best. I get good enough frames on RX 480 to tackle anything at 1080p / 60hz.

You'll need the latest xorg-amdgpu driver and mesa driver. It also doesn't hurt to use the amd-staging kernel. In my experience Arch has been the best. If you have a spare drive and some time to give it a check I would download Manjaro and the related packages and give it a ago to confirm or deny this.

Wont fix the bad level design.

By 90s gaming standards Super Metroid level design still ranks way higher.

I mean maybe some people are okay with running rediculously far across the map and the bad spacing of the saves.

Also Im not a fan of the map only being updated on save or buying map pieces just to give money a purpose.
