Steam News :
Source 2 to have level streaming (aka no more load screens)
http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1415694&p=45659262&viewfull=1#post45659262
I remember Neverwinter Nights also had streaming levels, but the loading screens were still very much there!
Alienware’s ‘Alpha’.. yeah, I quit reading there as well
http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/12/alienware-alpha-software/
“Alienware says you’ll be able to upgrade to Steam OS and the Steam Controller whenever Valve’s got those ready.â€
*grabs popcorn*
“For now, though, the Alpha feels undercooked — a rushed product which serves Alienware’s bottom line and little else.â€
Well… DUH!
Valve time sucks, but when they release things they tend to be good!
Haste makes waste and all that business.
I really stopped giving a shit about this when they announced that they’d be using a custom GPU soldered on to the mobo itself
Though it sounds like they got the name right.
Depression Quest doesn’t let you depress buttons on linux
http://store.steampowered.com/app/270170
Lists full controller support, but if you scroll down to the requirements
Didn’t know Robin Williams used Linux
Well, you don’t know Jack
Does this game have you Hook’d yet?
Don’t leave me hangin’
Sorry, still a bit shook up
A text adventure without animu cleavage? What has this world come to?
Shots fired!

A sorcery FPS with randomly generated levels.
Good on them for getting rumble working on the 360 gamepad, but who in the hell would play an FPS using a controller on PC?
Interesting levelling concept. Â Â Supposedly it changes how you play the game in order to ensure that you need to be skillful to succeed.
Will it live up to that?   We’ll see when they actually release the damn thing
A week too late
They listened
We should be taking full credit for this!
Dammit Ledwerks!   Where’s our cut of the kickstarter!?
Me: After the steam release would you (or someone in the company) be up for an interview via Skype?
Bring out the GIMP!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/314500/
Really expensive GIMP with a Pinta look to it.
FLESHOUT 2 updated to version 1.2
http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=298340
Busted game is still busted.
Controls only work for in-game movement FK menu navigation
I had forgotten this game existed >.>
I like how there’s an update from June 18 which is called the same as this one
Updates include
Achievements bug fixed.
Graphics optimization.
AI mechanics improvement.
I think I want to cough up some blood
That’s racist

Demo http://www.indiedb.com/games/blinding-dark/downloads
Demo nopes
As far as shit unity games go, this one doesn’t look half-bad from what I saw on the trailer
Demo is busted in a way only Unity games can get busted.
Mouse is so twitchy.   At least it doesn’t crash.Â
News:
DayZ confirmed zomg !!11!

Really, the devel said it would be a neat idea. You would have to be a retarded hype machine to make a story out of that commen… oh, wait.
NVIDIA OpenGL 4.5 Driver Release for Linux
https://developer.nvidia.com/opengl-driver
At this Rate, Mesa will have  GL4.5 compatibility by the time Apophis hits
GLXOSD
https://nickguletskii.github.io/GLXOSD/
A handy partial FRAPs replacement
Needs FPS logs
Native X?
http://rootgamer.com/11403/news/directx-linux-gallium-driver
The interview itself was a wee painful to read
Its an interesting project, but currently its usefulness is restricted to people using AMD cards whilst playing games on WINE
And you need the d3d double buffer patch on WINE to get it to work.
Early Caffeine Linux Demo
http://incandescentimaging.net/2014/08/11/caffeine-linux-demo-release/
Missing game binary
It has a binary, in the Engine/Binaries/Linux folder it’s called UE4Game
That’s the engine
Oh…
Still doesn’t work on the r600 open sauce-drivers
Zip is corrupted for me. Â yey
Early UT4 Builds
https://ut.rushbase.net/raxxy/Builds/OldBuilds

Someone pushed the “Oh shi-†button.
And it’s back

It’s super trippy.

Our new game is a Livestream Gameshow Action-RPG
http://slexy.org/view/s2ohexlaaP
Perma-Permadeath? Â Â So the game attempts to actually murder you when you die?
Because YouTube bait is too mainstream, we get Twitch bait now!
