About a month or two ago they hired someone from the modding community who is now doing a scenario editor. After that, you should see at least some test scenarios. Final ones will probably not come until the game is feature complete.
Pixar Film Production show off how they use Linux and OpenGL, open sourced a major tool

I don't think it was entirely clear to some people, but what was open sourced is not the actual animation software, but the back end. I'm not even sure there is a rendering engine in there. So it's not something that is usable for an artist.

I'd be really impressed if they put that Presto animation program on Github as well. But I don't really see that happening.

So..... who want to take a gamble whether or not they will announce Linux support for Cyberpunk 2077. :P
The developers of Armello are facing a bit of a backlash over the DLC not coming to GOG

It makes perfect sense.
If all the content is contained within the game, then the DLC is basically just a validation key. Which is DRM by definition and therefore incompatible GoG.
The alternative would be to actually include the content in the DLC and not allow players without the DLC to play with those that enabled it.
If they really wanted to, they could separate the content for GoG and have a mix of both options.

I wouldn't say "trust" is the issue there. You know up front that for some it is not justified. You do DRM free distribution because crippling the paying customer is bad for business. For most companies anyway.

Quoting: KimyrielleWhat's the difference between releasing a DRM free game and DRM free DLC? In both case you're trusting your customers not to distribute illegal copies.

Sounds like they're backtracking on their decision to provide a DRM free version. The weird thing is, the one in the Humble Store only provides a DRM free version for Win+Mac. I wonder if they'll skip the DLC there too.
The Witcher 3 was apparently never planned for Linux

I personally think one mail from gog support doesn't really say anything either way. Not that I had high hopes of it happening any time soon. I still think they simply thought they'd give it to VP and they would squeeze out a port without checking if that was even possible. This may eventually happen when tech has caught up.
Sadly it looks like Shadow Warrior 2 won't be a day-1 Linux release

The depot information does not appear to be too useful yet. Linux/Mac depots are half the size of the Windows one. And the game does not appear to be updated on Steam yet. So I doubt there is active beta testing going on through steam at this point.

Also humour is fine. But you're not going to survive the game concept itself being the joke.
