Quoting: FeistEdit: Btw. has anyone played through ep 1 & 2 of "The Detail", that title seems a little similar to this game and I'm thinking about buying it too.

I played episode 1 and liked it, but I forgot to write about it (I think). There's no action in it though.

Yes, it runs on the Unity3D engine and is native.

The store page doesn't say, but there's no 32-bit version.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: TheBossIf it requires any form of payment to get into it, no it's not a free game.

Yeah, sounds reasonable.

Edit: We haven't got an article about Mel yet?!? I need to write one!

Samsai covered the release, but more articles are (almost) always welcome. :)

Just got word that Sector 13 backers will get a choice between a DRM free download and Steam. (We forgot to ask the developers prior to publishing the article this time.)

And I just fixed the links to the FinnWars campaign.

I'm not a big fan of fighting games either, but I'm very happy to see a Capcom game on Linux. I hope it's only the first of many.

@Eike: Have you played any Unity 5 games yet? I haven't had many issues with Unity 4 either, but the new one seems to have introduced a few.

@stan: SquareCells would start the Unity launcher and then crash, and it was because of an issue with the libsteam_api.so it shipped with. Kung Fury was missing libsteam_api.so and libCSteamworks.so and crashed instantly. SquareCells works now, but achievements only work on certain distros/configurations, so I wonder if it's a similar issue.

@Sumero: I didn't realize AltGr did that. Thanks for letting me know. The game could certainly do with some more explanation of features, as there are some options I have no idea what do either.

Thanks for considering my suggestions.

@Sumero: Thanks for commenting. :)

For mouse controls, I think path prediction would be best, but I realize that it can be very complicated to get right. I.E. left-click and hold and drag the cursor left or right to see where the Trimoeba will go, release when you've drawn up a line to where you want it to go. If the path changes while you walk, make it stop once it strays off the predicted path.

What you suggest might work too, but it's hard to say without having tried it.

For keyboard controls, using WASD for more control over Trimoeba selection and arrow keys to move might be more comfortable. It should at least be possible to flip through them in the opposite order as well.

Which games? I've played a couple of Unity 5 games lately (SquareCells and Kung Fury) that didn't work because of missing or incompatible libraries, but I notified the developers and was able to play them using workarounds in the meantime. I haven't had any technical issues with this one though.

I think I might get Sleepwalker's Journey. Not sure if it's any good, but I'm curious about it since I haven't seen it anywhere else.
