The page looks great! The only thing one might criticize is, that it will only show data of registered GoL visitors, while the survey could in principle be filled in by anyone who got the link. We'll see if this has significant influence on the sample size.

"Installing the graphics drivers..." That sounds bad, such as fglrx bad...

You have to spend a lot of gold on supplies when entering a dungeon, and you just get a tiny fraction of it back for unused supplies. Entering/Leaving dungeons without finding any loot will have you bankrupt in no time...

I've been playing the Beta for 23 hours already, and haven't had any issues with it (except for the savegame incompatibility between the first two beta versions...).
Makes me wonder what could cause the empty dungeon bug others are seeing. It's probably not a localization issue (what would meanwhile by my #1 guess if something doesn't work on Linux... Many games don't like it when the decimal separator isn't set to '.'), as I've been running Darkest Dungeon with the German locale (which uses ',' as decimal separator)...

Quoting: fagnerlnI was curious about what games I have are Unity3D, so I've looked at this list and I have few of them, mostly indies that I will never play again:There are many more successful PC-games using Unity. Kerbal Space Program, Pillars of Eternity, Cities in Motion 2, Wasteland 2, Hearthstone,… just to name a few.

The engine obviously are focused on mobile and weak in PC, the only game with extreme success was Cities Skylines.
Banished Linux port is pretty much complete, OpenGL performing well

Quoting: GuestI sure as hell would come across annoyances too if I had to setup a build environment on Windows or OSX!I've had the honour a few months ago. Getting anything working on Windows is a huge PITA if one is used to code on Linux.
Quoting: GuestEdit: the blog post says:I'm curious: Why would using ALSA directly cause such issues?QuoteIf your system has X11, ALSA for audio, and an OpenGL 3.2 driver, it should be good.so it looks like it will be good indeed. Not sure if using ALSA directly is a good idea but we’ll see how much stuttering and crackling people get :)..
Darkest Dungeon, a popular gothic roguelike RPG now on Linux with a public Beta

It seems to be running well with the open source AMD drivers.

Quoting: liamdaweOnce it has a downloadable Linux version, direct Steam purchases are fine.Ok, already got it ;-)
The issues arise with people buying before a Linux version is out, or using keys from resellers.

I'm wondering: If we buy right now, will this get counted as a Linux or Windows purchase?
Looks like Darkest Dungeon may finally release for Linux next week

Isn't Sunless Sea already available? It was part of some Humble Indie Bundle iirc, and it shows in my Steam Library under Linux&Steam OS.
Cities: Skylines updated with new map tools and tons of fixes

Performance was quite OK for me (Radeon R9 270X, open source drivers), until Snowfall was released. I don't know if it's the addon, or if it's the patch that was released at the same time, but performance greatly decreased for me at that point. It's still playable, of course, but it's far from the smooth gameplay that was possible before...
And about the time I played: Steam says 78 hours.
