            <description>&lt;img src=&#34;https://playingtux.com/images/field/image/heliborne_collection_header.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;Featured image of post Heliborne: huge update released, new name &#34;Heliborne Collection&#34;&#34; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Helicopter-action-game &lt;strong&gt;Heliborne&lt;/strong&gt; changes its name with the newest update in &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://store.steampowered.com/app/433530/Heliborne_Collection/&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;Heliborne Collection&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;    &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;        &lt;p&gt;Greetings Pilots!&#xA;We have an important message and updates to pass on today. We’ll try to keep it short and not tl;dr. Briefly:&#xA;New launcher - new Steam product name - Heliborne patch - Discord updates - brief development status&#xA;NEW GAME LAUNCHER&#xA;In today’s patch, we introduced a new launcher. From now on, you can choose what Heliborne edition to play without switching between the branches. This will make the Heliborne game structure more transparent for the new customers, and we hope not much more complex for existing ones.&#xA;NEW STEAM PRODUCT NAME&#xA;We implemented a new naming system - the main game on STEAM is now called Heliborne Collection. It includes Heliborne and Heliborne Enhanced Edition. Both editions contain all the DLCs published so far, and all the future content will be mirrored for both.&#xA;Worry not; each Heliborne version will be actively updated - today, you get the patch for Heliborne, and the Heliborne Enhanced Edition patch will follow soon.&#xA;There will be a need to download both games, so expect a 13-16 GB of download (depending on the OS) with this update. Sorry for the inconvenience.&#xA;HELIBORNE PATCH 0.98.8&#xA;New patch arrives in Heliborne:&#xA;Fixed missing objectives on Tonkin map.&#xA;Added new standard camos (14 new skins).&#xA;Fixed the loading screen, causing the game to hard lock.&#xA;Removed placeholder &amp;ldquo;campaign settings&amp;rdquo; button.&#xA;Fixed Nguyen map - mission 3 now loads in the correct order.&#xA;Updated copyrighted helicopter names with community suggestions.&#xA;DISCORD UPDATE&#xA;New discord server (servers structure) - a community update.&#xA;We have set up a new separate Discord server for Heliborne Enhanced Edition users to split the communities and avoid misunderstandings.&#xA;A new server link: &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://discord.gg/kFzpMU8hRk&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;https://discord.gg/kFzpMU8hRk&lt;/a&gt;. Feel invited. Please first read the rules.&#xA;The current Discord server: &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://discord.gg/w7rbapJmXv&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;https://discord.gg/w7rbapJmXv&lt;/a&gt; remains active with mindoug’s supervision.&#xA;DEVELOPMENT BRIEF STATUS&#xA;Consoles and PC development:&#xA;We will keep improving Heliborne Enhanced Edition - next patch ETA end of March 2021, and keep fixing ongoing issues/bugs in Heliborne - patch today. Please use the current Discord channel actively to inform us about contemporary matters.&#xA;We also submitted Heliborne Enhanced Edition for console certification to Microsoft and expect the game to be commercially available still in Q1’2021. Additionally, we are now solving specific network-related issues on PlayStation. The date of the commercial launch for this platform is still TBA.&#xA;Thank you for playing and following!&#xA;Klabater Team&lt;/p&gt;</description>

This includes support for the Anniversary Outfit Bundle and displaying the WB Games logo during the bootflow for players with the Definitive Edition.&#xA;New Mission for Contracts Mode Creation&#xA;It is now possible to create and play Contracts on ‘The Source’ mission from the Patient Zero campaign. Contracts Search and Lookup functionality has also been added for this mission. Players will be required to own the GOTY missions to play Contracts on this location.&#xA;The Pharmacist&#xA;We’ve fixed an issue with ‘The Pharmacist’ Elusive Target that would cause the target to suspend their routine. This target is now back into rotation for Reactivated Elusive Targets.&#xA;Elusive Target Clarification&#xA;We’ve adjusted the messages for the Elusive Target tile on the Featured Hub to clearly show the status of the upcoming or active Elusive Target. If you have already completed or failed the contract, you will be informed of that. This will help players know whether they have previously completed or failed the contract.&#xA;PC Framerate uncapped&#xA;We’ve corrected an issue on PC that was introduced with the GOTY Edition that limited the framerate on PC to 100fps. The framerate will now be as high as your hardware and graphic settings will allow.&#xA;Clipping in Cover&#xA;We’ve fixed an issue that could cause 47 to get stuck in a wall, teleport or fall out of world in a staircase in Sapienza.&#xA;Missing Vector&#xA;We’ve fixed an issue on PS4 that could cause the game to become unresponsive when resuming the game from Rest Mode during the Vector mission.&#xA;Bonus Episode Installation&#xA;We’ve fixed an issue on PS4 that would occur when installing the game from a disc. The in-game store would display the Bonus Episode as ‘owned’ (displaying a checkbox) by default. However, the episode was not owned until a redemption voucher included in the box had been redeemed. With this change, the Bonus Episode will only show as ‘owned’ when a redemption code has been used.&#xA;Progression Counter&#xA;We’ve fixed a visual issue with the display of Location Mastery on the location menus after reaching the max level. The game will no longer display “6000 XP to next level” when reaching the max level.&#xA;Featured Complications&#xA;We’ve made a back-end fix to Featured Contracts so that any complications for those contracts are correctly displayed. Previously, the Featured Contracts menu might display that all of the complications were activated when some of them were optional. The correct functionality was set in-game and this was purely a visual issue.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

April - Ruiner_Dispatcher&#xA;Penguins and Puppies rejoice for RUINER Linux Beta is here!&#xA;Just switch to the “Linux” branch and download the game. Easy!&#xA;(Hard? Navigate to the game’s Properties -&amp;gt; Betas and choose the relevant branch.)&#xA;We’ve hidden a cosmetic feature in the game for you, so keep looking for the tiniest easter egg ever.&#xA;There’s a sliiight chance you may experience performance issues. If you do, please install proprietary video drivers (NVIDIA, Radeon) or Mesa.&#xA;In case of video-related issues, install VLC 3 and its dependencies.&#xA;Also, make sure that all your drivers are proprietary and up to date.&#xA;Now, if you prefer gamepads over keyboard and mouse, you’ll need ds4drv for Dualshock or xboxdrv for Xbox controllers. Get those!&#xA;It should be all sunshine and rainbows from here. But - if you encounter any bugs, crashes or anything else wrong with the game, please add a new thread on the RUINER Steam forum or email us directly at &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;mailto:support@reikongames.com&#34; &gt;support@reikongames.com&lt;/a&gt; (please, write “[Linux]” at the beginning of the title).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

And there are several reasons.&#xA;First, it&amp;rsquo;s a special day for transport helicopters — they are finally able to do sling loading! We&amp;rsquo;ve added two initial types of cargo — ammo crates and repair kit. Expect more in upcoming updates.&#xA;Second, we&amp;rsquo;ve finally introduced Steam Achievements. There are 50 of them at the moment. More are coming. Start earning them, you&amp;rsquo;ll need them soon!&#xA;Third, you may now choose a size of a room, from 3x3 to 8x8 (depending on a map).&#xA;Also, good news for owners of Logitech controllers: we&amp;rsquo;ve recently introduced native support for Logitech 3D Pro, X52 HOTAS, X52 Pro HOTAS, and X56 HOTAS.&#xA;Full patch notes:&#xA;Sling Loading. The first two cargo types — ammo and repair kit crates. Transport helicopters can pick them up at bases and move anywhere on a map to create a reload/repair point for other helicopters.&#xA;Steam Achievements. The first 50 achievements have been added. More will be added in future.&#xA;Automatic Pre-Battle Slot Reservation System has been introduced. This will prevent simultaneous connection of several players for the same side and thus will help balance battles.&#xA;Correlation between vehicle armour and explosion damage has been updated. Medium and heavy armoured vehicles now receive less damage from fragments. It also depends on an armour of an affected part of a vehicle.&#xA;Online Single-player Mode. Those who want to play solo and earn progression points may now play this new game mode instead of password protected multiplayer battle. However, we recommend to play Heliborne with other players — this is what it has been designed for.&#xA;Flight model has been updated. Now high speed during dipping down may be achieved only together with Collective Increase (Space button). Altitude gaining rules have been updated as well.&#xA;Repair time and experience bonuses for outnumbered teams (1+ players) have been added to PvP modes.&#xA;Room size settings have been added to PvP: a host can limit number of players for a battle.&#xA;The last used camouflage (including Hangar) will be remembered and automatically applied when you add a helicopter to a squad.&#xA;AA sight on a one Mi-28N modification has been fixed.&#xA;Mortars info has been added to the after-battle report.&#xA;Net code fixes.&#xA;Hidden fixes for the next upcoming updates.&#xA;Native support for the following Logitech controllers has been introduced: 3D Pro, X52 HOTAS, X52 Pro HOTAS, and X56 HOTAS.&#xA;Team JetCat&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;img src=&#34;https://playingtux.com/images/field/image/dyinglightlogo.png&#34; alt=&#34;Featured image of post Dying Light: new update with silencer for pistols released&#34; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A new update for &lt;strong&gt;Dying Light&lt;/strong&gt; has been released for Linux on Steam. It adds (among other things) a &lt;strong&gt;silencer for pistols&lt;/strong&gt; to the game.&#xA;Since your shots &lt;strong&gt;now don&amp;rsquo;t attract the enemies&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates &lt;strong&gt;completely new stealth opportunities - especially at night&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;    &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;        &lt;p&gt;Dying Light stealth has just been redefined!&#xA;Equip your pistols with the silencer and don’t worry about noise anymore. Now your gunshots won’t attract the enemies, which creates completely new stealth opportunities - especially at night.&#xA;How to get it:&#xA;Your character needs to be at least level 12;&#xA;Talk to the Quartermaster to get the blueprint;&#xA;Find required parts;&#xA;Craft one of the two pistols with the silencer attached;&#xA;Unleash your rage… silently!&#xA;Psst! Don’t forget that silencer-equipped pistols need a special kind of bullets, called the subsonic ammo. You have the best chance to find them in abandoned police vans.&#xA;New Features:&#xA;Added 2 new pistol blueprints featuring the silencer&#xA;Added subsonic ammunition for the silencer&#xA;Added a “What’s New” section in the main menu&#xA;General Fixes:&#xA;Fixed &amp;ldquo;The Clinic&amp;rdquo; quest crash on macOS&#xA;Minor gameplay fixes&lt;/p&gt;</description>

October 2017) be bought for Linux at &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;http://store.steampowered.com/app/671260/GOKEN/&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;Steam&lt;/a&gt; with a &lt;strong&gt;25% discount&lt;/strong&gt; (14,99€ instead of 19,99€).&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Description&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;    &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;        &lt;p&gt;GOKEN seeks to bring back everything that was right about gaming in an action packed open world environment in the form of the good old Action RPG genre and have the old school gamers tremble in nostalgia.&#xA;It&amp;rsquo;s finally here people!&#xA;Since GOKEN&amp;rsquo;s Early Access release back in July, it&amp;rsquo;s hard to believe that it has already been two full months&amp;hellip;&#xA;With great help from the community and insights from extremely helpful reviewers, GOKEN has reached a stage where we feel comfortable saying that it is now a full retail product!&#xA;Allow us to &amp;ldquo;re-introduce&amp;rdquo; you to GOKEN.&#xA;-Scenario-&#xA;Long ago, when gods lived amongst people&amp;hellip;&#xA;There lived a swordsman who was given five swords forged by god himself.&#xA;Using these swords, the swordsman brought peace and order to the world.&#xA;People called the swordsman, &amp;ldquo;Wielder of the Five Swords&amp;rdquo;&amp;hellip;&#xA;One day, during a fete to praise the gods, the blades of the swordsman turn against the gods for reasons unknown.&#xA;One of the gods, Ozone, furious with all his powers, sealed the swordsman away at the top of a mountain now known as Swords Peak.&#xA;This tale begins 5,000 years after the battle between the two, near the small village of Cardina.&#xA;-Game Overview-&#xA;Seamless open-world game mechanics&#xA;While the game features a rather old school “quarter view” mechanic, the map transitions and event scenes, even the combat is all seamless as can be to enhance the overall gaming experience.&#xA;Real time strategic action battle system&#xA;Utilizing 2 primary attack buttons, users can assign different weapons to each button to create a unique combo that fits the users need as they go. Monsters, bosses and stage gimmicks can require a specific type of weapon at times creating opportunities for users to strategize their best route of approach.&#xA;Customizable Tattoo system&#xA;Utilizing &amp;ldquo;tattoos&amp;rdquo;, users are given specific points upon leveling to get the protagonist inked as a form of powering up so it could be built to one’s own. Raising MAX HP and Stamina, learning new and special moves are just a few of many ways players are able to customize their character depending on their play style.&#xA;Improvements made during Early Access&#xA;-Completely re-tuned the stamina system.&#xA;-Added ability to &amp;ldquo;sprint/&amp;rdquo;&#xA;-Adjusted weapon balance for each weapon to stand out more.&#xA;-Added support for Linux / Steam OS/ (yay!)&#xA;-Added extra scenarios for users to play.&#xA;-Added additional bosses to fight in case the game wasn&amp;rsquo;t difficult enough &amp;gt;:D&#xA;-Added Side Quests for more game play.&#xA;-Added an &amp;ldquo;Endless Colosseum&amp;rdquo; mode for even MORE game play.&#xA;-New and improved Tattoo System 2.0 for character customization.&#xA;-Wiz Point system for even MORE character customization.&#xA;-Performance enhancements to rid those pesky stutters.&#xA;-Fixed many bugs and spelling errors.&#xA;Finally&amp;hellip;!&#xA;In celebration of GOKEN&amp;rsquo;s official release,&#xA;We are putting GOKEN on a 25% off sale for a limited time!&#xA;(Offer expires on Oct. 9th at 19:00 PM PST)&#xA;So if you were one of those people who waited for GOKEN to get released and actually caught us upon release, this is your chance to grab a copy!&#xA;Let us hear your voices in the forums, and as always, thank you for all your support!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
