Thumbs up Liam!
I humbly second that suggestion on YT that you should have some sort of text/image showing the current subject, just for us to keep track of what you're currently talking about.

Impressive space combat sim 'ASTROKILL' has its first major update in a year

UW issues in Astrokill have been reported as far back as 2017. :) bluemoon is aware of the menu scaling problem and I expect it will be fixed shortly.
I haven't examined if 16:9 and 21:9 works the same in-game now btw.

Same here. It's zoomed in and in some cases broken because of it. Try rebinding keys, top/bottom are cut off.

Still doesn't support ultrawide... :'(
Looks and runs brilliant in any case.

Very cool looking game! But what sort of inane comment is that from Kongregate?! I've played many Flash games on their site over the years so it was strange yet intriguing to hear about them publishing 'proper' games... maybe I was expecting too much.

Game dev/publisher: Hey, look at our cool game, we're releasing it for Linux!
...
Game dev/publisher: Hey, turns out Linux is difficult, maybe later though!
...
Linux gamers everywhere: Ugh, another one.

Quoting: NezchanOnly video I watched on Steam was Kung Fury, and that was free.
It's also brilliant beyond description! (and Swedish <3)

Good move Valve, now where is that third game...

The number of Linux gamers on Steam continues to grow, according to Valve

We still don't know exactly how Valve comes up with these numbers, or even what the damn numbers actually are. These near-useless percentages are almost insulting. :(

Escape room puzzle game 'Escape Legacy: Ancient Scrolls' lands Linux support

Some strange aspects to the controls in this game, at least in the demo.
The young woman you control walks like a 95 year old, runs like an asthmatic 120 year old and crouches like nothing I've ever seen before (it's amazingly terrible :D)

Mouse smoothing is enabled by default. Game devs, don't. Just f*cking DON'T. I thought the game was broken until I found the setting to disable it, which is only accessible once you have started to play. Dude!

Oh and ultrawide is definitely not supported and is so awful it almost breaks the game.


I really liked it anyway and wanted more! Excellent demo teaser.

In a 16:9 resolution it ran perfectly fine and the controls were much better.

Forgiveness, a new escape room style puzzle game is coming to Linux this month

Demo ran fine on Linux and was a fun puzzler, looking forward to the full game.
