    • Same






 


Steam Gauge:


http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/introducing-steam-gauge-ars-reveals-steams-most-popular-games/




  • Top 6 most played games have almost the same time played as all other Steam games.

  • Top 13 most owned games are available for Linux.




 


Glitchspace

  • Very interesting concept




  • Seems like something that desperately needs multiplayer




  • And Partial controller support.  But at least you can play it on your Occulus




 


Nuclear Throne


http://store.steampowered.com/app/242680/




  • According to its steam store page, it was released in Oct 2013.




    • Shows up as early access for Linux in April 2014

    • WHY IS THAT NOT A REAL THING




      • ^








  • Hipster pixel AND early access.




 


Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition (beta) makes /w the download


http://store.steampowered.com/app/240760/


http://steamcommunity.com/games/240760/announcements/detail/1822013489918945268




  • Finally!




  • Oh shit… this is shaping up to be exactly what I had hoped. Behold! My next time sink.




  • I, kinda like it.




  • Devel was quick to ask how it was running




 


The Last Federation


http://store.steampowered.com/app/273070/




  • Gratuitous Space Battles, now with more Turn-Based strategy.




  • Do the backgrounds seem a little flat to you in the trailer?




 


Drox Operative


http://store.steampowered.com/app/274480/




  • So….EVE/FTL meets diablo?




  • Cross platform multiplayer is a nice touch




  • Price is pretty steep though.   I’d wait until a 50% sale at minimum




 


Earth: Year 2066


http://store.steampowered.com/app/290750/


Why is your game in Early Access?


We decided to make early access to choose the right direction of game development with gamer’s help.




  • Just the one gamer’s help




  • DayZ/Fallout 3/STALKER in Unity, or at least that’s what they’re aiming for.




    • I don’t feel like paying €20 to find out.






  • FFS this thing looks like “My first FPS simulatorâ€




  • HTH does this crap get Greenlit?




Humongous Entertainment Steam Dump


http://store.steampowered.com/sub/42723/




  • Games from the 90’s, 6 of them plus spin-offs.




    • €93 worth of nope!






  • Fun fact, you can buy the base games separately for €18.94.




    • Means there’s just over €74 worth of spin-offs.






  • Geez.   These look like some mindfuckingly awesome games





News:


Civilization: Beyond Earth


http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/12/5600008/civilization-beyond-earth-trailer-screenshots-announcement-sid-meier




  • Exciting Stuff




  • NEver got into Civ.




  • WHAR George Timothy Clooney?!11!




 


Eldritch Source code released under ZLIB license


http://eldritchgame.com/about.html#source




  • Ooh!   Anti-semitic and open source!




  • I’mma be sorely disappointed if I’m not killed by the zombie of H.P. Lovecraft after I’m done compiling!




  • I started a CMake file (cmake can eat a bag) and fixing the static links but someone in Linux_gaming beat me to it and probably did an infinitely better jerb.




    • The CMake in r/Linux_gaming did work. You still need the assets to actually play the game.




      • Ya think?








 


FPS construction kit


https://playgunscape.com/




  • Minecraft FPS builder /w guns




  • Could be a helpful learning tool for children or ARCH users.




 


Noir Syndrome


http://glassknuckle.com/NoirSyndrome/




  • Java game




  • Mystery Roguelike is a unique concept.   




    • Curious if it actually works though.   Mysteries are nuanced stories and randomly generating them can have some very huge pitfalls






  • Every other game who comes out nowadays is a roguelike of some description.





Scale:


- Nooope

- Not sure if want

- Check it out

- Shutupandtakemymonies



Game: Foul Play


Webzone: http://foulplaygame.com/


Devel: Devolver Digital


Engine: Custom engine (derived from C++)


Price: $14.99


Wazzat: Play as the daemon-hunter Baron Dashforth in a side-scrolling co-op brawler set entirely on the grand spectacle of a theatre stage that rewards performance over pummeling.



Makes with the working


V-




  • No issues /w triple monitor setup since I use separate X screens ..like a real man.




J-




  • What Pedro said




P-




  • Game starts in Fullscreen mode and sets my monitors to clone each other.




  • I had to manually rearrange my monitors, because even after changing to windowed mode it kept the clone setting.





Total-



Shiny / Sounds


V-




  • Love the art style. It’s like a Double Fine brawler




  • Sounds are there but FFS the grunts




J-



P-




  • Art style choice I could dig. The whole stage metaphor made literal is clever and something I could definitely get behind.




  • Repetitious music, ½ a second of voice acting and the same grunts constantly coming out from the enemies/your character.





Total-



Control


V-




  • OOTB /w the Xclone




J-


P-




  • It notified and made a point out of giving me a choice to properly configure my controller




    • And it also recognized it properly!







Total-



FUN


V-




  • The first 20 minutes are a bit of alright.




  • Really like the audience health meter gimik.




  • I was hoping multi-player would save it but it’s just more of the same.




J-




  • This game is brutally repetitive.  Same three or four enemies for what seems like an eternity




  • Haven’t had a chance to try out multiplayer yet




P-




  • It is a fun brawler, if you find a video or podcast to play in the background in such a way as to not have to listen to the grunting and the same 5-second BGM loop.





Total-



Final –



Hate Mail:
