And to think I still have the boxed version of Terra Nova. Slow game, but fun.

I would trade this a thousand times over for a naive Doom 4 port, with Vulkan...

An interview with Simon Roth, the developer of space colony simulator 'Maia'
1 February 2017 at 9:09 pm UTC

Quoting: KohriasThanks for the great interview, Liam and Simon Roth. The game looks really great. I am reluctant to buy early access titles but I'll keep a close eye on it.

In terms of IDE: I guess you have tried Eclipse. Would be interesting to know why you decided against it.

Eclipse is slow and clunky at the best of times. At the worst of times it can crash a lot. If I were to ever point out an example of a monolithic codebase, this would be it.

I would buy Simon a license to JetBrains CLion IDE if I could afford it.
Others also mention QT Creator and KDevelop. Both of these are very good, and KDevelop in particular has improved significantly - you can even run KDevelop via an appimage if you want, rather than installing a bunch of KDE stuff just to use it.

Oh and Gnome-Builder is improving vastly with each release! (rust compilation is now enabled too)

FortressCraft Evolved has a massive update with a better tutorial and a fresh new look for the worlds

Wow, yes, great improvements there. The game itself is quite compelling, sometimes more so than Meincraft!

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port again
30 January 2017 at 10:44 pm UTC

Quoting: Whitewolfe80
Quoting: Luke_NukemThe games I *really* want are;

Doom 2016 (sod it, I want the rest of them idTech powered games from Rage onwards)
The Witcher 3
Skyrim
Cyberpunk 2077

Rage works perfectly fine under wine/playonlinux with the asterisk if you have an nvidia card.

I know. Wolfenstein (new ones) also run great, as does Skyrim. But I want official ports. Mucking about with multiple steam installs is a right pain in the arse.

A guide to crowdfunding games and the risks involved, the Linux edition
28 January 2017 at 4:11 am UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: KimyrielleSorry, but that's complete rubbish. Crowd-funding was invented -specifically- as an alternative to venture capital or similar means of funding. Its very point is to allow regular customers to band together and fund projects that otherwise might not get funded by traditional means. People don't seem to get the idea that crowdfunding is nothing but small-scale venture capital funding. It involves risk. There is no guarantee that you will get anything back. And if you can't afford and/or stand the thought to lose your pledge then you need to stay away from it, indeed.

This. I wish more people realised it.
