Quoting: LanzWhat engine is this built on?

Looks like it's gzdoom-compatible.

I've played just over 30min of this game and have reached the end of the demo. I imagine there are other options should I choose to replay and visit different locations.

Looks good, and features the kind of word craft that we know and love from the 'Sunless' games. It'll be interesting to experience the full game once it's released and I'm looking forward to it!

Quoting: EhvisWhen you click on the games tab, you see a short flash. That is your games library. Click one very quickly and install it.

Thanks. Unfortunately it seems that even using nice and cpulimit, my machine renders too fast and I do not get the flash! I'm currently experimenting with repeatedly launching the Amazon app immediately after it crashes so that I can download the freebies 30sec at a time :-)

Quoting: EhvisTrue. But you can install the Twitch App through Lutris and with some fiddling you can make it show your library instead of pointing you to the Amazon app.

Right, I've installed the Twitch app and my accounts are already linked. Could you please explain how to make the Twitch app show the games? Thanks :-)

This is good news and I have claimed the key! On a related note the Amazon Games Client doesn't seem to work at all for me on Linux at the moment, crashing after about 30 seconds.

Can someone remind me which online game retailer we're boycotting this week? I forget ;-)

Apparently Microsoft’s shares fell by 1% after the announcement!

Quoting: WhiteWolfLoL at those comments. Why build other small distros? Why bother... haven't heard such a bullsh*t in a long time. This is the Linux strength, that new people come and build new distributions, propose new ideas. It's natural evolution part with is a process with shaped Fedora/RedHat/Ubuntu/Debian/Arch. If you want one system to rule and evolve in an abomination go use Windows...

Unfortunately, this is not the attitude which encourages developers to build for Linux. Sometimes fragmentation is not a strength as it gives potential publishers and devs a moving target to aim for.

A regular question in Linux gaming forums from devs new to Linux is, "Which distro should I build for?" Of course, fans of different distros will pipe up with their preferred choice and this is not helpful for the developer at all.

Sensible people might suggest aiming for the distro which SteamOS is currently based on. New ideas are great but we must be mindful of encouraging continuing game development for Linux and presenting a united front.

Quoting: samurroAlso lately I have been reminded that using a non mainstream distro (in my case OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) comes with its drawbacks, which at some point, might not be worth it anymore.

The SUSE distros are definitely mainstream. They've been around in various forms since the mid-1990s and aren't going anywhere :-)

I don't know much about the Solus situation, but upon reading this line...

QuoteI want to be clear

...I had to laugh. As Liam says, the announcement is incredibly vague. In a situation like that you may as well say nothing :-)
