Shut-up Liam. You don't know what you're talking about.

The Other 99, an UE4 single-player action & survival game is waiting on fixes from Epic for a Linux version

Quoting: SketchStickI was under the impression that Epic Games does very little work on Unreal Engine's Linux support. That the vast majority of fixes were contributed by the community? If that's the case, I don't think waiting on them is going to help much.
This might be a general bug related to their OpenGL backend, not something Linux specific. These backends are written and supported by Epic themselves I think.

afaik the graphics layers are mostly Epic built. The Linux layers are community contributed (to start with), and unofficial.

What annoys me to no end is that we get Tim Sweeny moaning like a donkey on heat about Microsoft, yet he refuses to acknowledge or commit to supporting Linux as an alternative to Microsoft.

I don't get what you mean, pick one what?

Reference to the good old software quality triangle paradox. Usually three traits, but you can only ever pick two of them.

Sure, good app. But it's a fucking nightmare to package. And if you don't package it and build/install from source, it pulls in a metric ass-ton of shit.

This is why I hate JS and NPM.

STOP FUCKING WRITING DESKTOP APPS IN IT!!!

Now if only those lazy devs who only ever released 32bit versions of their games would actually realise how stupid that is...

Some thoughts on 'Dead Age', the zombie survival game with turn-based combat and multiple endings

Interface makes me think of Zafehouse/Zafehouse 2. Unfortunately those two games are Windows games only (Zafehouse 1 was written in VB ffs..)

Dead Age sure looks interesting!

I have the most absolute faith in Kornel making sure it comes to Linux (so I backed the KS, first time ever too).

Quoting: GoLBuzzkillEverybody is focusing on VR which is failing it will bar(e*)ly happen on Windows, Linux can forget about it; at least in this VR hype wave, last one failed in '90s.

90s VR was wank though? VR will happen one day if not now. Its been the dream since before TV existed.

Umm... VR is happening right now. Seriously. This is not something we can turn back from now, it's here to stay.
