Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition is again showing signs of possible Linux support
5 December 2017 at 9:51 pm UTC

Would be nice to see it happening. The UI is a bit of a mess in this one, but I still have fond memories of "Oh shit!" moments in the campaign I played before getting rid of dual boot.

Quoting: razing32Hmm , wondering if we have any German users who might know this btf GmbH firm.
If they were serious with previous projects.
Thinking to try my luck on the lowest tier that gives a game (25$)
Given that they work professionally for German television and even did two retro mini point and click adventures featuring German television presenter and comedian Jan Böhmermann I think we can be reasonably certain they will deliver a well rounded finished product. Looking at the art style and the unusual alternative controls (separate head movement) they feature in the video I'd assume this is also somewhat of a passion project.

Blowing everyone up in EVERSPACE, my thoughts

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTWill this be already counted as a Linux sale?

By the way, how do you know Humble Sales are counted as Linux sales on Steam also? I got no answer to this question that satisfied me in the past from the Humble staff. I think people just expect that....

One would assume that they will be able to count at least the downloads of the Linux version on Steam and as long as the port is "in house" that should be enough to give them feedback for future projects.
Where counting as Linux sales really matters is with third party ported games if the porter is paid per unit shipped.

Nice to see they are still trying to deliver.
Does anyone know if they happen to have proper joystick support in yet?

Feral Interactive have put back the "West Norwood" Linux port teaser

TW: Warhammer 2
there is a Norwood in the US(meaning in the west)and it also fits the setting of the 2nd game.

War Thunder may replace OpenGL and DirectX 9 with Vulkan in "the near future"

For the Linux version it would be awesome - we might actually hope to get properly working anti aliasing then instead of fx-screenblur-aa.
That would only leave 5.1/7.1 surround sound on my wish list then.

Awesome looking mech combat game 'BATTLETECH' has slipped into a 2018 release
15 August 2017 at 9:46 pm UTC

Will be interesting to see how this turns out. Definitely high on my whishlist but there have been so many flaws alongside so much promise in previous BT games that one can only hope for the best. The timeline setting at least was a wise choice and if they manage to stay away from to much mech loadout customisation resulting in boring multiplayer meta this could actually become a really good game.

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

Multiplayer:
Chaos Reborn still going strong.
0 A.D. caught our interest lately.

Singleplayer:
Finally took the time to marathon through Life is Strange and it was quite enjoyable a Journey.

Quoting: niarbehtI'm really, really unsure of how to process this message, especially on the GamingOnLinux site.

Not sure what you mean but taking a guess i'd answer: There was a time before being Linux exclusive and one of the reasons of finally becoming so was a certain OS manufacturers aggressive push of a shitty store app. ;-)
