Parsec is another game streaming service, now with Linux support and it's blown me away

I still hope for a service like OnLive, where I wouldn't even know if the games are being ran on Windows or any kind of console.


Geneshift, the brutal top-down shooter with vehicles has released into Early Access

QuoteOn my first attempt to play the game, hitting start on the campaign ended up sending me right back to the desktop. So I did not get off to a good start at all. I tried again, same result. This is repeatable every time.

Sadly, the online multiplayer right now seems broken for me as well. Clicking Multiplayer makes the game instantly freeze, with no option but to kill it. This is repeatable also for me, every single time.
Works alright to me. I blame Arch Linux or whatever you use :D

Absolver, a combat game with RPG elements, won’t have Linux support at launch

Alright, finally an answer! It's understandable that they prefer to focus on big platforms first. I only hope that they will do Linux at some point!

That way they will be able to give it a second life as the amount of players online was slowly, but steadily in decline.

I definitely recommend the game to everyone!

Ashes of the Singularity almost has Vulkan ready, doesn't have Linux on the radar right now

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: LeopardTo the all developers ; if you don't support Linux ,of course our base won't grow.

Main problem is ; they want to push only Windows for not to spend time with learning new things and platforms. They're totally cool with possible MS lockdown because they will keep earning pennies ; who cares?
To all the Linux users:

Gamedevs (mostly) don't care. They are not releasing software to push a platform. They are releasing software to earn money.

To the some Linux users who doesn't understand:

We are saying that not supporting Linux builds or not intending to support it anytime and then ,making an excuse of 'Linux is not viable' is just ridiculous.
Because it is not viable. And it is not in gamedevs interest to make it so. The world doesn't revolve around Linux, it's that simple.

Geneshift, the top-down shooter with vehicles has an Early Access launch date and a Linux demo (updated)

Great game that I follow for many years already - I even submitted to GOL some articles about it in the past!

Very fun action multiplayer game (and now also with singleplayer campaign). Definitely recommended.

Cosmic Star Heroine, yet another Kickstarted game to delay Linux support

Quoting: LeopardI can understand delays on titles like 'Inner Chains' ; but delay on 2d indie games like this is just unacceptable.
Inner Chains is being made by a small (8-12 people according to their Kickstarter) indie studio in Warsaw, and announced for two platforms: Windows and PS4 (plus VR support).

Cosmic Star Heroine is being made by 3-4 people, and releasing simultaneously on four platforms: Windows, Mac, PSVita and Playstation 4.

How is that different to you? Do you seriously think that 2D games don't need much work?

Now as much as I don't enjoy having Linux releases delayed, how do you think, does that make more sense for them to focus more on the most profitable platforms (with 2 of them having biggest share in the video games market), or to start their focus with the single least profitable platform first?

Two awesome games from my childhood :) In my experience, very, very solid games in their genres :) Give them a spin :)
