Quoting: GuestSpeaking of weird i never noticed anything female in SteamWorld Heist. But heh, it is just marketing.

Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

Ultimately these teases are shooting themselves in the foot except in one situation: A day 1 (or soon after) Linux release. Then they can be as secretive as they want. Or if they reveal the game before it becomes for sale on Windows.

Pig Eat Ball is one of the weirdest games I've seen for a while, releasing with Linux support this month

Quoting: GuestMakes me think of game like https://agar.io/ or Osmos and i don't recall some ancient windows game where you started as a particle or something and you ended up like a galaxy...

You are possibly thinking of Solar / Solar 2

I'm amazed he has the energy to still care about Linux porting since he's pretty much entirely a Mac user, unless I am mistaken. Matters not though - we still getting ports. :)

An interview with the developer of DXVK, part of what makes Valve's Steam Play tick

@YoRHa-2B I have a question for you, if you are still around.

One of the games on the first whitelist is "The Last Remnant". a game which is no longer for sale on Steam. I'm guessing they stopped due to the PS4 launch and Sony being jerks. What's interesting is that the discontinuation of sale was announced before the Steam Play whitelist was declared.

Was this game chosen for whitelist on purpose because it's being discontinued?

My speculatron says this makes sense, because presumably this also means that the game will stop getting updates, and very possibly will stop working on Windows in future, but it will carry on working on Linux/Proton.

Quoting: EhvisI have to say that all the Borderlands games have a huge amount of replayability, without needing any "procedural generation" stuff.

I suppose it does still have procedural guns.

The Linux Civilization VI patch with cross-platform multiplayer hit a bug, going back to approvals this week
28 August 2018 at 7:59 am UTC

Quoting: TheBardThey are pushing windows developpers to use cross-platform technologies such as Vulkan.

I don't know why devs don't already. Vulkan is required for the super popular Nintendo Switch, so even if their mainline is Xbone/PS4, surely they should all at least have a bit of Vulkan going on the side.
