FR looks really awesome. This seems to be the GPL licensed source-code: https://github.com/Divadawm/Fanwars
Not sure if the license also covers all the art assets though.

Quoting: eldakingRepublic of Gamers? What a stupid name. I'd be ashamed to use something with that name.

To be fair, ASUS is a Taiwanese company, and I think with that background the name is a bit more understandable.

Anyways, while not officially supported, I always had quite good results with Asus laptops on Linux. And build quiality relative to price at least used to be quite good (have not bought one in some years).

But I also think it is also worth considering buying a Taiwanese brand over a Chinese government front like Lenovo.

Flat Heroes is a lot of fun both single and multiplayer.

Hmm, a rythm game that seems to be playable well with a standard controller. Might be interesting for that alone as most others are impossible to play like that.

Nice, clearly Studio Trigger and especially Kill la Kill inspired artwork. Seems to work surprisingly well in 3D as well :)

Quoting: PatolaThey changed the whole game engine after the game was released??? That must have been a hell of a job...

Might be in preparation of a sequel...

Quoting: GuestSadly another job though where could I do it? Yes. Can I _prove_ I can do it on a CV? No. My recordable work history took a different route.

My impression was there's more job offers than (good) developers, so I guess there might be a chance without prove of work?

It's entirely possible I'm simply a bad developer, but anytime I've tried anywhere slightly outside my core CV experience I hear either nothing back, or get a very nice letter saying no. It's to be expected really. If my current application falls through however, I may look into this because there will be nothing to lose.

Get in contact with one of the established freelance porters. They usually have some extra work they should be willing to let others prove themselves on.

Unless this has changed, this game actually uses the open-source Torque3d engine, which has a somewhat functional Linux port.

Is it just my imagination, or are we finally seeing games designed for females, as opposed to superfical efforts of slapping females protagonists into otherwise default(=male) genre games or worse corporate "Barbie world" type of software?

This one at least, seems to tick many boxes... at least that is what I( as a male) would imagine a game being truely designed for a primarily female audience would look like.

Of course that doesn't mean it can not be a fun game for males as well. In fact, I would say a great game needs to be fun for everyone :)
