honestly?
this project had its time, but now it should just fade.

the code and the engine are old, maintaining it and updating it is troublesome and harder than it should, and the assets arent great either.

there is not much space for easy code re-use and improvment.

i think we should remake it on godot instead of keep working on the old code base, replace the assets with new ones, and have 2 separate sets of levels, the classic ones and new levels more polished and curated.

Microsoft is making an partnership with qualcomm to make windows and windows applications run on arm, intel got pissed off that they were emulating x86 instructions to do that.

maybe this is the intel answer to the problem, if microsoft try to escape from their dependence, they will start investing on linux to try to survive in the desktop space and try to compete with microsoft before they ditch intel?

or maybe i'm just over thinking

Quoting: ageres

Quoting: elmapulsitch is fucking profitable and with its short life time it already surpassed the instal base of linux and its only going to grow in the next few years.

If the devs were so slow so WiiU and Vita died during the development and Switch appeared, that doesn't mean they can break their promises. Linux and Mac bases were profitable enough to raise money on Kickstarter, but not enough for making a port?

i'm not saying we arent right for complaning.
i'm just explaining why it make sense for the middleware developer to support switch and not support linux and mac.

but i still believe that they should deliver what was promissed no matter what, if they cant make an day 1 support for all the platforms, they should give an key for the game day 1 for another platform chosen by the player + ANOTHER key for their desired platform after they finished porting the game with the profit that the game has made after the launch event.

see the thumbnail of the news, create hope.
"Epic Games have confirmed a Linux version of their store is "
hope, hope, hope, hope...
"not on the roadmap"
disapoinment...

i sugest put an X covering the image from the thumnail (for social networks such as G+ and facebook)
and change the title to:


"Epic Games have confirmed , no linux version for their store on the road map"
or something like that (my english is not perfect to know if i did any mistake on the phrase above)

that title will be less painfull to swallow.

Quoting: ageres

Quoting: vlademir1My operational assumption until I have more info is that they chose a piece of middleware that was promising Mac and Linux support "soon" when they chose it (probably because the dev team already knew how to work with it), and which has meanwhile failed to deliver said support or dropped it because Proton or other reasons.

They didn't explain what kind of middleware had let them down. How convenient is that their middleware supports Switch so they could add it to their list, right? Anyway, with $5.5M they could have spent some resources on another middleware.

sitch is fucking profitable and with its short life time it already surpassed the instal base of linux and its only going to grow in the next few years.

i'm really pissed off that they droped support for an entire platform instead of an feature, they could at least relase an incomplete version for those who paid + an key to the complete game elsewhere where all the features are supported.
if the feature is an small thing like netplay, i woudnt mind lose it, i dont want to play the multiplayer of an metroidvania-ish game anyway.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80MMM So no refunds just more of this come on guys dont you own a good platform type of mentality that some developers have. We are not out of 2018 yet and this just more bad news in a year of terrible cancellations and delays for previously promised linux games. Should be used to it by now, maybe time to become a console peasant esh doesnt appeal but better than going back to dual booting.

being an console peasant is not an option on my country (Brazil), the games for consoles and consoles are to expensive and i need an computer anyway (to work and etc) , i dont need an console.

i recomend those who already got the game and will chose other verion to down vote it.

castlevania is famous, but castlevania 3D sucks, the 2D ones are the good ones, castlevania 3D is an generic hack n slash, castlevania 2D is an great platform that helped define an genre.
