Hooded Horse recently revealed they’re publishing C-Beams, an upcoming space action RPG that looks and sounds really interesting for sci-fi fans.

Glory On Pluto is the least realistic engine simulator you’ll ever play according to the developer, and it’s weirdly engrossing to power up your ship.

A developer going by “EVVIE” managed to combine the worlds of Linux and Minecraft, to enable you to pull up all sorts of Linux desktop windows directly inside Minecraft. Sure does look cool, a bit like running a desktop inside a VR headset like the draft code for the full VR mode for KDE Plasma written about here before on GamingOnLinux.

Starvester has a fun idea - taking elements from clicker / idle and factory sims and expanding them to be across a whole star system.

Great success!

Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Cursed Sands is a prologue to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, previously exclusive to consoles and now available on PC.

Steam is making anonymous fps data available to devs, so that they can see what kind of performance their game has on the Deck.

Always good to see older hardware being supported.

This appears to be part of the “Parents Decide Act” announced earlier in April by Gottheimer, as just one step in the process. So expect a lot more to come. Some bullet point plans from it:

Seems SteamVR for Linux really is getting some more attention recently, after a number of fixes in the previous Beta we have a few more here.

Warzone 2100 is an excellent classic real-time strategy (RTS) game that continues living on thanks to the open source community, with a huge new release out.

Wine is the base for Proton, which lets windows games run on the Deck.

Improved streaming quality and connection stability for an app like this can actually be pretty meaningful, so I figured it was worth sharing.

Basically you can now manage the download screen of your deck from a PC client. I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but my understanding is that the deck needs to be on for this to work, but it will work if the deck is already in the “screen off downloading updates” state.

Important to note that the results are a bit weird though for the last couple months.

Fancy a new type of simulator? How about flying your own seaplane? Lakehopper has launched into Early Access on Steam with Linux support.

Inspired by the classic stealth game series Thief, the free and open source project The Dark Mod has a new release out.

sudo apt purge lutris r.i.p.

In a blog post Richell notes that the New York version as far worse since it “explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General” and so developers of operating systems and devices would have to have more than just your date of birth to put you into some age bracket like the California law seems to allow.

This update, among other things, adds support for VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, which should bring significant performance boost to Nvidia cards, once it’s properly implemented.

Widelands is a free and open source Settlers-like strategy game, and their developers appear to be setting a firm stance against any AI generated contributions.

The first release of 0 A.D. that doesn’t have an Alpha label attached, as the free and open source RTS has grown up with their faster release schedule.
