Pillars of Eternity: Patch with Turn Based Mode released

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A new patch for the RPG Pillars of Eternity is now available on Steam and GOG. This adds the long awaited Turn Based Mode!

Pillars of Eternity Turn Based Mode is Live Greetings Watchers, The wait is over and the Turn-Based Mode for the original Pillars of Eternity is now live! This new feature lets you experience Pillars 1 in a whole new way, with combat fully reimagined around turn-based pacing and flexibility. If you enjoyed experimenting with the system in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, we hope you’ll find this version both familiar and improved so please let us know what you think. We’d also like to make sure we get a message to all those that played and sent in feedback on the Public Beta to help Turn-Based Mode become the best it can be: THANK YOU! Furthermore, we recognize that this is a large feature and while we have squashed the largest bugs that presented during the beta window, more issues may yet to be discovered. Still, please know that we will continue to release patches for this feature for a short while longer. So if you have an issue or would like to share feedback please contact us via https://support.obsidian.net/. Thanks! And now for what to expect in this update. Major Features Turn-Based Mode (TBM) has been added to Pillars of Eternity! Turns are now influenced by character speed, combat pacing has been adjusted for increased lethality, and certain actions (such as swapping weapons, drinking potions, or enabling modals) are now classified as free actions with per-turn limits. Players can select Turn-Based Mode when starting a game or swap between real-time with pause and turn-based combat in the options menu, keybinding, or HUD toggle button. General Added support to change to the original Pillars of Eternity main menu art by clicking base game and DLC icons. Combat and Mechanics – Turn-Based Mode Specific TBM Turns have been reworked compared to Deadfire: Characters no longer take 1 turn per round. Instead characters take turns as frequently as their Initiative (based on RTwP Recovery) allows. Faster characters (high dexterity, lighter armor, and/or speed improving effects) may end up taking multiple turns each round, while slower characters may act less or even potentially skip an entire round, if encumbered by enough speed penalties. TBM Lethality has been significantly increased over RTwP: In addition to legacy lethality changes from Deadfire (increased Graze Range, reduced Miss Range, Basic attacks perform Full Attacks, etc…), TBM now increases damage (dealt by any source) by 35% globally. This change helps to keep combat moving forward and highlights careful tactical decision making. TBM Intellect has been reworked vs. RTwP: The effect of Intellect on duration in TBM has been increased from +/- 5% → 10% per point. TBM Initiative has been reworked from Deadfire’s: The new formula for Initiative is: Base RTwP Recovery * 2 + 1 All modifiers to initiative happen after the above calculation. First turn initiative uses a default recovery of 2s. The minimum initiative a character may achieve can never be below 1. Initiative from Reload Time is reduced by 25%. TBM Free Actions have been reworked from Deadfire’s: Swapping weapon sets, drinking potions, and toggling modals (or within a modal group) are all now considered free actions. Each of these Free Actions are now limited to 1 activation per turn within their respective action type category. E.g. you may drink a potion and change your active paladin aura, but you may not drink two or more potions in the same turn, or change paladin aura → attack → and then change it back. Additionally, no individual Free Action may be activated more than once in a turn. TBM Phrase progression has been reworked from Deadfire’s: As turns are no longer bound to 1 turn per round, phrases no longer progress 1 phrase per turn. Phrases now progress based on the amount of initiative (recovery) that has elapsed since the Chanter’s last turn (or the start of combat). TBM Interrupt mechanics differ from Deadfire’s: Successful interrupts will add their interrupt value to the Initiative value of the victim’s next turn (effectively pushing back their turn). Interrupts in TBM have had their values increased over their RTwP equivalents. An interrupt can still cancel a victim’s pending spell casts if successful. Combat and Mechanics – General Using quick items or disarming traps while spiritshifted will no longer cause the turn to become unresponsive. Overlapping Unconscious and Prone effects no longer allow a character to move freely. Potion of Major Recovery no longer adds duration to hostile effects instead of reducing it. Fixed an issue that would cause the bonus from the Holy Power spell to sometimes stack and not be removed. Stacked Stun/Paralyze/Petrify etc… effects should no longer cause characters to be disabled for longer than intended. The Helwax mold should now once again be usable. Visual and Audio Cipher focus HUD FX are once again visible. Fixed characters sometimes being stuck in a running animation during cutscenes. The title screen background should no longer appear with a delay. User Interface and Interaction Added a keybinding and HUD button to toggle TBM freely while outside of combat. Spacebar and Enter keys are now the default bindings to end turn while in a TBM combat. Added keybindings for Delay turn, End turn, and the Combat Speed slider. Smart camera is now present in TBM and may be optionally disabled in game options. Accuracy tooltips can once again be viewed in the inventory screen. Burial Isle cutscenes no longer prevent future actions from being cancelled or similar strange behaviors. Fixed an issue where the combat log would display erratically on certain resolutions. Fixed Player-controlled characters sometimes being unable to attack if any Class Behavior is active. Fixed an issue that allowed summoned Concelhaut to be looted after death. Fixed cursor changing to the default one while hovering over party members outside of combat. Fast mode now can now be enabled without toggling off slow mode first. Localization Resolved translation errors with Wizard’s Wall of Draining spell on Polish language. Korean localization should now be available and updated in all versions of the game.

OpenTTD: An update on Steam / GOG changes

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The developer of OpenTTD, the Open Source implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, has posted an update about the situation about the Steam / GOG changes on his blog:

An update on Steam / GOG changes for OpenTTD 2026-03-19 Posted by orudge I wanted to provide an update on the situation with OpenTTD on Steam and GOG, and what the Atari re-release of Transport Tycoon Deluxe means for OpenTTD. There has been a lot of speculation and, in some cases, misinformation spread about what has happened. Our initial announcement perhaps didn’t provide as much detail as we could have, but I want to reassure OpenTTD fans that we have not been “pressured” by Atari to make these changes. Atari approached us to explain their plans for the Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release, and what it might mean for OpenTTD. They are keen to work with us, and hope that the new release will be welcomed by the community who have been playing OpenTTD for the past 20+ years. We discussed these plans, and we understood that a compromise would be needed to balance Atari’s commercial interests (which of course they are entitled to pursue as the rights holder) against the availability of a free, well-developed evolution of the game. The decision was made that access to OpenTTD on these platforms would be conditional, for new players, on purchasing Transport Tycoon Deluxe first, while retaining the ability to download OpenTTD for free from our web site. Some have suggested that we should have chosen to remove OpenTTD from Steam and GOG entirely, but that would have caused unnecessary disruption to the many thousands of people currently enjoying the game on these platforms, and would have potentially prevented new players from discovering the game in future. The OpenTTD project owes a lot - indeed, it owes everything - to Transport Tycoon Deluxe and to Chris Sawyer. Without TTD, there would be no OpenTTD - it’s as simple as that. As I covered in 2024, OpenTTD started off as a pretty much perfect clone of TTD, and though the game has evolved almost beyond belief since 2004, it is still rooted in the fundamentals of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Agreeing to collaborate with Atari on their re-release not only enables you to go back and play the original game as it was in 1995, but helps to ensure OpenTTD remains a thriving project for years to come. Additionally, as part of the discussions we held, Atari agreed to make a contribution towards the running costs of our server infrastructure. We are also extremely grateful for the many donations that have come in over the past few days from users - your support will help keep our services going, and it is deeply appreciated. I understand that these changes have provoked strong feelings in the community, but I feel it important to emphasise that Atari have worked collaboratively with us, and that OpenTTD as a project retains its full independence. Even after reading this, you may still not agree with the choices that we’ve made, but I would please ask you to share your views respectfully. The Transport Tycoon community has been a source of joy in my own life for well over a quarter of a century, and it would be fantastic for us to be able to continue to enjoy these brilliant games well into the future.

2.20.1 “Pythagoras Hotfix #1” Latest Hi! This Hotfix should address some issues some people are having with Heroic randomly showing error dialogs that are not really errors just some harmless but scary python logs.

Heroic Games Launcher: v2.19.1 released

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Heroic Games Launcher, a launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games, has been released in version 2.19.1.

2.19.1 Latest Hi! After releasing the 2.19 version yesterday we started receiving reports of some people on Linux with some issues when lanching their games. This was due to an issue with conflicting libraries used when building Legendary and GOGDL that affected some Linux distros. This new release should fix that issue. If you find any other issue please let us know on Github or Discord. Also, on Linux, the ideal way to use Heroic is through Flathub. This is because it is a more reproducible and controllable way for everyone to test since the flatpak won’t depend on system libraries directly. v2.19.0 changelog - Highlights Added experimental integration for games from the Zoom platform, Linux only for now. Next release we will bring it to the others. macOS - Added support for DXMT -M chips only- (Install a version of Wine-Staging and 2 variants will appear, it only applies to new Wine-Staging installations, so if you want the DXMT variant of a version you already have installed, reinstall it) Added new Launch Options setting for games that supports it. Added Import button to the game page so its easier to find it. Added some Sync-Saves options to the Game page as well. macOS - Removed the ability to install Steam with a button since it is not working anymore, we are investigating other ways of automate that, but for now we preferred to remove it. Cleaned up several options that are not relevant for Linux and macOS anymore. Improved gamepad navigation in general Linux - Added initial support for AppImage auto-update. Windows - both the Setup and Portable versions are signed with certificate now. Updated Electron to v39 Updated gogdl and legendary with fixes for a few bugs related with game listing, updates and more. Linux - The DXVK Frame Rate option was removed since it was removed from DXVK completely and it was not doing anything already (it’s still available on macOS) Added Irish translations Accessibility - Added an option to disable all animations Several other fixes and improvements.

Heroic Games Launcher: v2.18.0 released

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Heroic Games Launcher, a launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games, has been released in version 2.18.0.

Heroic 2.18.0 “Waterfall Beard” Jorul Latest HI! This new Heroic release brings several UI and UX improvements besides several fixes and a new Opt-in Anonymous analytics. After a long time discussing this in our team and almost 5 years of the first Heroic release we decided to try to understand more our userbase. For that we use Plausible Analytics that is also open-source and privacy-first. All data is 100% anonymous and it serves only to have an idea of the number of users accross the different operating systems we support. With that we can have a better idea on what to focus next and what to prioritize.

Nebuchadnezzar’s gameplay is geared towards all types of players: from beginners of the genre to experienced strategists. Campaign Nebuchadnezzar’s main campaign contains more than a dozen historical missions covering the colonization of ancient lands to the conquest of Babylon by Persians in the 6th Century bc. Each mission summons a different time period in Ancient Mesopotamian history, providing comprehensive historical experience. Players must carry out tasks important to the specific time and place of each mission, including the construction of historical monuments. Monuments During the campaign players will not only build complex ancient monuments, but design them too. Nebuchadnezzar features an in-game monument editor giving players complete control over their buildings. From structural design to color scheme to final details: it’s in the hands of the player. Will you recreate history or make history? It’s up to you. Mods & Localization Nebuchadnezzar was created with mods and localization in mind. Expand your experience with the full support of mods from new buildings, new goods, production chains, and even new maps, missions, and campaigns. It is almost entirely moddable. Localizing mods will also not be a problem. You can create mods in multiple languages and/or add languages to existing ones. This applies to the base game as well.

A fascinating new sci fi universe reminiscent of classic sci-fi movies, set in the aftermath of a massive quantum cataclysm and complete with a deep lore and goosebump inducing soundtrack. The space station orbits in real time around an ominous black hole that triggers various dynamic events such as boss appearances, horde assaults as well as modified enemy stats and positions. If you are struggling, ask a friend to press Start to join in a couch coop session, or call for assistance online. The entire game can be completed uninterrupted in coop. The loot is shared, and the experience of local player two is saved and not watered down.

Tower of Time: Final Edition released

Thu, 21 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

The strategy-RPG-mix Tower of Time has received another update on Steam: Final Edition.

Tower of Time Final Edition We have done some final polishing work on Tower of Time and we consider it ‘Final Edition’ now. Here is the content of the last patch: Fixed achievements on Linux – now working properly Fixed few very small bugs – e.g. effect of the fountains not visible immediately Rebalancing of the difficulty – enemy units, items, skills, battle parameters as number of enemies, spawn frequency, frequency of skills used, etc.. As a result there shouldn’t be any spikes in difficulty levels when moving between Tower levels. Still – when you outgrow current difficulty level (by building a real kick-ass party) – we highly recommend increasing difficulty during the game. You can do it anytime outside combat. Visual upgrade of some skills Tower of Time is 75% off for a limited time. Give it a try if you like fast paced RPGs with heavy focus on party customization and tactical real-time combat with pause or slow time. It’s not a lot of money and who knows, maybe you will be pleasantly surprised. Join us on Discord - if you want to chat with us or would be interested in closed beta of our next project (once we are ready with it) https://discord.gg/FBWCCTb https://www.facebook.com/eventhorizondev/ https://twitter.com/EventHorizonDev https://darkenvoy.com/ Have a great day.

In the Railway Empire “Down Under” DLC, it is up to you to tame the unforgiving outback and expand your railway network across its wild terrain and beyond. Your railway will ultimately be the key to laying the foundations for flourishing cities and to connecting remote mining settlements to coastal metropolises.

Surviving Mars: Update "Armstrong" and new DLCs "Green Planet" & "Project Laika" released for Linux

Thu, 16 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000

For the city building simulation “Surviving Mars” the huge Armstrong Update has been released for Linux. At the same time the DLCs “Green Planet” and “Projekt Laika” have been published. Both DLCs are part of the season pass. Green Planet is available on Steam and GOG. Also Projekt Laika ist available on Steam and GOG.

Changelog for the Armstrong Update of Surviving Mars Thank you to all of our beta testers, you have been amazing. FREE Update Section New Features: 5 Landscaping tools/buildings - Flatten terrain, create Ramp, Change Surface texture and construct Small Rock Formation or medium Rock Formation. They’re available since start and do not require research. The Flatten and Ramp tools consume a lot of drone time and require or produce excess of Waste Rock. The Rock Formations are constructed with Waste Rock. The Change Surface tool consumes drone time and damages the local soil quality. 3 Special Projects - Capture Meteors, launch High-Speed Comm Satellite and Launch SETI Satellite. They become available when the first batch of Planetary Anomalies gets discovered (Sol 10-15) and do not require previous research. These three act as alternative sources of raw materials (Capture Meteors), sponsor research (HGS Satellite) and funding (SETI Satellite). 2 new buildings - Large Dumping Site and Rocket construction site. The significantly larger dumping site is because we’re now producing and consuming far more Waste Rock. The construction of Rockets was added as an alternative to the buying of Rockets, which is not possible when you lack Funding. The Large Dumping Site is not locked via research, the Rocket requires Advanced Rocketry to be researched. (Advanced Rocketry is a vanilla tech that now enables the construction of Rockets, as well.) Self-sufficient dome - you can now place a Basic Dome with minimal life-support buildings. You only need to connect it to a power source. Once constructed, the structures will act as independent buildings. International Mars Mission has a free prefab of the self-sufficient dome. New event chains - 19 for the base game, 1 for modding purposes, 9 for Space Race DLC New research UI with vertical flow replaced the old research UI Other Fixes and Improvements: Added order-queuing for Rovers Added multi-selection of units for mouse and keyboard and hybrid control schemes. You can use lasso or double-click over a unit type to mass-select nearby units of the same type More informative reasons for unavailable diplomacy options Fix for proper show/hide behaviour of hex ranges of domes for outside workplaces Build Menu: Rovers are moved to separate sub-categories Added conditions where colonists can change dome regardless of home availability in other domes Double click or Controller Button (X) on items in the build menu, which require known but non-researched techs now open the Research UI Trade rockets to rivals are not automated by default New Photo Mode effect added - Motion Blur Added “-nomods” launch option, allowing to start the game without mods. To set this option, you need to open the game PROPERTIES from the menu in Steam (left-click on the game in Steam Library). In the first tab GENERAL open SET LAUNCH OPTIONS. A small popup window will open where you can enter text. You need to enter: -nomods Special thanks to our closed-beta testers who helped us with this change! And also with the Modding-related fixes below Modding-Related Fixes and Improvements: Documented the Lua loading procedure, mod versions and dependencies, creating mods for DLCs and other minor documentation updates Added a filter for mods compatible with the game version Build menu subcategories are now presets, which can be easily added with mods Added a set of mod items that add easily modifiable options to your mods Fixed ‘copy from’ field in building template mod items and mission logo mod items Unused tech field icon property removed Mod dependencies show if the mod they depend on is missing or incompatible (outdated) Added a sample story chain Improved mod upload - it provides status update, better UI flow, feedback about report upload problems [PDX modding] Fix to enable auto-update of mods from PDX modding backend [PDX modding] Fix for re-uploading mods to PDX modding backend to keep their dependencies entered in the web interface Green Planet DLC New resource and global parameters which track terraforming progress New terraforming buildings in a separate build menu section New special projects with global effects New tech field – Terraforming – which unlocks buildings, resources, special projects New breakthrough techs focused on terraforming New disasters – Toxic rain and Marsquake Vegetation on Mars – plant it, watch it thrive or wither and die New main menu background video and updated Surviving Mars logo New Green Planet wallpapers New terraforming milestones 10 new achievements / trophies Project Laika DLC Pets are coming to Mars: 25 different pets of 10 animal types will start living alongside colonists after Founders stage is over, there are enough colonists and comfort is high enough.

Dead Cells: free DLC "Rise of the Giant" released

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

A free DLC for the fantastic Roguelike “Dead Cells” is now available for Linux on Steam and soon on GOG A FREE DLC!?!? ARE YOU MAD?: Since we began development on Dead Cells, many years ago now, we’ve been completely blown away by the amazing reaction of the community. Without your support and feedback we wouldn’t be where we are today. Rise of the Giant is our way of saying thank you. Here’s a free DLC with a bunch of new content, mostly aimed at the people who have been hanging around since day 1, it’s high level and should offer more challenge than most sane people would think reasonable. Features: New levels: You’ve got a new level that’s connected to the main level structure and immediately available to anyone who’s finished the game at least once. You’ve got another (poorly) hidden level, for the masochists who know that there is a Boss Cell 5 New Bosses: Mirroring the above, you’ve got a new completely different type of boss available in the main level structure, with another INSANELY difficult boss hidden behind even more ridiculously difficult content. New content: There are 10 new enemies, 13 new weapons/skills and a bunch of other upgrades to core game systems. There are additions to the story/lore of the game, new secrets, new blueprints and… Skins: People have been requesting this for ages and we’ve finally found the time to make the necessary changes to accomadate the request. You’ve now got access to female skins, fluro skins and a christmas tree skin, cos why the hell not. On top of these major changes we’re continuously trying to update the game in ways that make it more challenging and more just, all the while remaining open to new players. As such you will notice that the difficulty has been rebalanced so that the entry level of the game, while extremely challenging is now in line with the 5 extra difficulty levels available to those who like to suffer. We hope that you like Rise of the Giant and would like to remind you that we’re not done, we’ll be continuing to make content for the game for as long as you keep demanding it, so feel free to let us know what you’d like to see and if we can make any changes that would make you happy.

Trüberbrook: now available for Linux on GOG and Steam

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Trüberbrook, the mystery adventure with handcrafted scenery, is now available for Linux on GOG and Steam!

»Trüberbrook« is a thrilling mystery-sci-fi adventure game. Enjoy an adventurous vacation to a 1960’s parallel universe! A Sci-Fi-Mystery Adventure Game with handmade scenery. Imagine yourself on a vacation to Europe in the late sixties. Now, picture yourself as a young American scientist; Hans Tannhauser. Yes, that’s your name in this scenario. While you’re at it, think of Trüberbrook, a remote village in rural, mountain-sloped and densely forested cold-war Germany. Because, that’s where you somehow end up after hitting the continent. But who cares, you won the trip in a lottery! Or at least, that’s how it seems. But don’t fear, instead of getting some rest, you could find yourself having to save the world … Suspense! Mystery! Thrills! After all, it’s a single player sci-fi mystery adventure game. We want to keep you entertained! Join American student Tannhauser, stranger in a strange land Set in cold-war rural Germany in the late 1960s Inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Stranger Things & Star Trek Indulge in universal themes such as love, friendship, loyalty, self-discovery and dinosaurs Handmade miniature scenery! Full voice acting in both English and German! Atmospheric, moody soundtrack Up to 10 hours of super exciting gameplay! Trüberbrook was successfully funded on Kickstarter in December 2017 within only 30 hours. The game will be enhanced by several new features thanks to the joint force of our 5078 wonderful backers! <3 The year is 1967. The world policy is dominated by the Cold War and Vietnam, Russia and America are racing to the moon. At the same time in Europe, students take to the streets from Paris to Berlin. On a larger scale, the world is locked in turmoil, but most people are unaware of the events unfolding in an overlooked, sleepy part in the German province. Hans Tannhauser, an American student in his late twenties is caught by surprise: Out of the blue, he wins a trip to a small, German village, Trüberbrook. Truber-what? No idea! It doesn’t help he can’t remember taking part in any lottery in the first place … Happy to put some distance between him and his Ph.D. in quantum physics, he makes his way to Trüberbrook, Germany, bursting with curiosity. But shortly after his arrival, inexplicable things start to happen: A mysterious stranger breaks into his room at the Guesthouse Waldeslust and steals a paper on physics. But who would do that? And why? Gradually, he gets to know the various villagers and spa guests, one more peculiar than the other. Only young anthropologist Greta Lemke, who is on a research trip to Trüberbrook, seems normal to him. Before he knows it, Greta becomes Tannhauser’s accomplice on the adventure of a lifetime! It slowly dawns on the aspiring physicist that his presence in Tüberbrook is not accidental – he is here to save the world! As the story proceeds, Tannhauser teams up with Greta Lemke, a student of paleoanthropology, and bumps into the enigmatic inventor Lazarus Taft. Hans Tannhauser is an American physics student in his mid-twenties – and a clever one at that. The adorable little fellow is well-read, always curious and of a deeply friendly nature. Greta Lemke was always the fiercest kid in the sandbox; cute but merciless if someone dared interrupting her excavations of twig bones and toy artefacts. The somewhat overenthusiastic student of paleoanthropology arrives in Trüberbrook on an adventure to unravel the mysteries surrounding the village. As much a reclusive inventor as it gets, Lazarus Taft quickly became talk of the town due to his superior card playing. There must be a reason he bought this costly old mansion in Trüberbrook, of all places … What’s up with Lazarus Taft? Trüberbrook is full of quirky villagers, tourists and strangers – like the gruffy but warm-hearted innkeeper Trude or her daughter Leni, “the weird kid” from Trüberbrook Elementary. And there’s the old baron, a veteran of two world wars, or Lessing, the prototype of modern day conspiracists. And of course Trübi, the legendary lake monster. To name a few. One of the most distinctive features of the game is the unique visual style. The sceneries are purely handmade. ‘Handmade’ as in: ‘Manufactured using real hands!’ And fingers! Not the most efficient way of doing things, but certainly the most inefficient one. We’re loving it, though! Look at what we do here, piece by piece, by the sweat of our brows. Every little detail is custom-made. The models are digitized using a technique called photogrammetry and later retopologized. This way we get highly detailed polygon models that blend perfectly with our digital characters. It is a lot of work, but also quite exciting! You may ask yourself, how can they reach this level of detail? Are there very tiny people involved? They can’t accomplish all of this with mere human hands, right? Well yes, we can! The answer might be our abundance of professional hands. Twenty-four seven at our disposal in all shapes and colors, they get things done! Every scene gets an individual treatment and is staged with actual physical lighting. This allows us to simulate different hours of the day or weather conditions. Even a change of seasons is possible just by redecorating the set with real tiny little snowflakes, no joke. This way we achieve an exceptional and magical look that visually reflects the world of Trüberbrook. Trüberbrook is a story-driven adventure game with a strong focus on characters and the narrative, but includes a lot of puzzles that need to be solved to progress the story. The puzzles are designed to integrate into the narrative. You navigate Tannhauser through the different sceneries from a third person perspective, usually in long distance shots to intensify the impression of peeking into a little diorama. The story unfolds as you interact with your environment, talk to other characters and solve puzzles. These range from inventory-based puzzles to social challenges (such as persuading other characters) up to passing unsettling psycho tests. For the console versions, we came up with a very intuitive controller input, allowing you to move the line of sight and walking directions independently. For the PC versions, you can choose between classic point and click mouse controls, and the controller navigation. The soundtrack of Trüberbrook is an original composition to fit the mood of the game – sort of a tranquil doom jazz. Inspirations come from the works of Tom Waits, Angelo Badalamenti, Mark Lanegan, Timber Timbre or Bohren & der Club of Gore. The soundtrack is directed by Sebastian Nagel & Albrecht Schrader. We’ve spent a lot of time working on a voice acting concept that joins in with the genetic code of the game. Since the protagonist is an American in the midst of a bunch of Germans, we wanted to reflect this in our choice of actors: In the international English audio, the main character Tannhauser speaks native American English, while all of the townspeople of Trüberbrook sport genuine German accents!

Pathfinder: Kingmaker - second DLC Varnhold's Lot released

Thu, 28 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000

The second huge DLC for the RPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker called Varnhold’s Lot is now available for Linux on GOG and Steam!

Just as you were claiming your first title, another hero of the Stolen Lands became a baron too: Maegar Varn, captain of the Varnling Host mercenary band and rightful ruler of Varnhold (this guy sure likes the sound of his name!). If you’ve played the main campaign, you already know what happened to him next… Or do you? In this DLC, you join Varn as his general, and experience Varnhold’s valorous history firsthand — the whole of it, not just the outcome! • Play a self-contained side story. Create a new character and spend 6-12 hours fighting for the future of Varnhold while your main campaign’s hero establishes their barony in the Shrike Hills. • Experience the adventure from a companion’s point of view.

What secrets lie in the forbidden depths, guarded by centaurs of the Nomen tribe? What monsters lurk there, and what treasures glimmer in the dark? Open the ancient doors, and fight your way through Lostlarn Keep! • Spark a new love. Varn is your commander, an old friend and a trusted ally… But could he mean something more to you? Play as a heroine to find out! • Import your achievements into the main campaign!

Discover the untold stories of the Stolen Lands’ denizens and conquerors in our new DLC — “Varnhold’s Lot”!

BATTLETECH has now officially moved out of the localization beta and into a full release! We’ve implemented an increased number of translations, and improved translation accuracy.

Fixed issues with enemy ‘Mechs getting stuck in geometry when spawning outside the map in some combat missions. Fixed an audio issue with turret generator destruction in Target Acquisition missions. “Spore Cloud” debuff icon is now present in the jungle biome.

Fixed the Mechwarrior VO played after successfully damaging an enemy structure. Fixed UI issues with reputation icons and tooltips. Known Issues On rare occasions, a small amount of partly unlocalized mission objective text may appear in French, German, and Russian versions of the game. Custom Mechwarrior callsigns and ‘Mech names may appear localized if the custom name is a word that is already used elsewhere in the game. A desync notification may appear during rounds in Multiplayer if the Host and Guest use different decimal separators (e.g. English vs Russian, French, or German).

Vaporum: Linux-only patch fixes problems with controllers

Wed, 03 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The developers of Vaporum, the Dungeon Crawler in a Steampunk-setting, have released a Linux-only patch, which fixes the problems with controllers:

Patch #13 (02-10-2018) (Linux Only) Hey, guys! Just a small patch for Linux only this time. Some controllers on Linux could crash the game, as reported here. This is a Unity bug, which we can’t fix ourselves, but we created a workaround. If you happen to have such a controller, the game will not crash anymore, but if you wish to use the controller, you will have to change one setting by hand. The game should warn you about the issue on start. If so, go to the Vaporum/Settings/GameSettings.yaml file and change the ControllerType to either XboxOne or PS4, according to your preferences. The controller should work as expected. In case you want to know, the valid values for the setting are:

Dungeons 3: new DLC "Clash of Gods" released for Linux on GOG and Steam

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The Publisher Kalypso released a new (paid) DLC for the strategy game Dungeons 3 today on GOG and Steam for Linux: Clash of Gods. This also means, that “Lord of the Kings” is no longer the final DLC for this game… ;-)

The final clash: Eight all-new and fully voiced campaign missions put your evil skills to the test. The goddess and the vengeful one: Two new antagonists cross the Absolute Evil’s path, seeking to take vengeance and cleanse the world of all that is evil. Holy dungeon: don’t make the mistake of going easy on invading heroes, or they will set up their own outpost to consecrate the dungeon’s evil soil in the name of the goddess. More evil power to rule the overworld: use outposts to build fortifying towers and supporting statues to keep approaching heroes at bay. Make your dungeon evil again: three even deadlier traps and three unspeakably nasty spells will make for a hearty welcome for intruders – seasoned with the right amount of evilness, of course. Evil joint venture: a new multiplayer co-op mode makes its way to the dungeon; team up with your most evil friend and have fun pillaging and razing the good guys’ most beloved city. The cries of joy are still echoing through the dungeon halls alongside the distinctive, melodic parp of the fanfare corps’ butt trumpets – a cacophony of wickedness that lingers in the air after the Absolute Evil’s undisputed triumph over Tanos. But, as the saying goes, all good …errr… evil things come to an end – and so is the Absolute Evil’s relentless assimilation of everything that dares to be good. For now is the time for the Absolute Evil to ascend to the throne and crown himself the sole ruler of the world. However, there’s one itsy-bitsy little problem standing in the way…the Above-And-Beyond-All-Beings Goddess of Light herself! Who will emerge victorious from the final battle between good and evil?

Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Hotfix 1.0.2 released, critical Linux savegame-bug fixed & changes to the difficulty

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The RPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker has been released for Linux the day before yesterday on GOG and Steam. Sadly the Linux-release-version had an extremly critical savegame-bug and other problems. The savegame-bug has been resolved yesterday with Hotfix 1.0.1; today the developers also released the Hotfix 1.0.2, which also introduces changes to the difficulty of the game:

Hotfix 1.0.2 – September, 28th 2018 Hello everyone! Thank you very much for your ongoing feedback. It encourages us to work fiercely on polishing the game. We are desperately sorry that we can’t fix everything at once. But let us assure you that every comment will be addressed. New Features Changes to the difficulty. We hear a lot of comments about the difficulty of the fights. We are introducing several changes - we introduce changes to the easier difficulty modes to enhance the player experience for those, who selected them. On the Story Mode difficulty, such mechanics as Damage Reduction, Damage Immunity, and Regeneration will be switched off, while on Easy mode their power will be reduced (less reduction or regeneration respectively). We are adding an additional warning to the Hard and Unfair modes to provide better information about upcoming challenges and the general difficulty of the game so that players can make an informed choice. We’d like to stress the Normal mode is a recommended one, especially for the people not familiar with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game system and for the first time players. We are also making some changes to the some of the encounters in the prologue and 1st chapter of the game. To make it clear, we are not reducing general difficulty in all settings, we are fixing several places where this difficulty was not intentional. Also, we provide more information on overcoming the challenge in the place where it was: Scare ability in the final fight in Prologue is changed to the communal Protection from Alignment: Good. There are almost no abilities to counter Scare effect in the prologue party, so this ability tends to make combat too chaotic and unnecessary random on the harder difficulty settings. The first encounter on the road to the Oleg’s Trading Post was never intended to be a great challenge, this area is still part of the tutorial, and difficulty of the fight is taking away from learning about the camp. Wolves were changed to Thylacines, their stats are close, but Thylacines have no trip ability. Bokken will properly warn the player about the swarms in the cave and provide them with several flask of Alchemist’s Fire. In addition, the tutorial about swarms and how to deal with them will be shown when entering the cave. It should be mentioned that the 1st chapter’s story is branching into the two different paths, making some of the encounters harder than desired on the first path selected. Fangberry quest is very hard on low level. Resolution: Bokken warns about quest difficulty and gives 6 flasks of Alchemist’s Fire. The special tutorial message is added about dealing with spider swarm. Bear-like Treant in Temple of the Elk will now have less Damage Reduction. Bear-like Treant fight difficulty is reduced if the player gets there earlier enough (at low levels and without previously following Tartuccio). The fix won’t be applied for games saved within the area. Some companions joined the party fatigued and damaged in Ancient Tomb and Old Sycamore areas. Resolution: fixed. Ancient Tomb: persuaded companion now joins the party after a fight with Tartuccio’s Mercenaries. Random encounters with creatures too difficult to the current average party level could be rolled. Resolution: fixed Quests There may be issues with Valery romance progressing. Resolution: fixed. Crash to the main menu when certain romance scenes are activated. Resolution: fixed. Areas One of the story development paths causes a wrong Capital state in Chapter 3. Resolution: fixed 50% spellcasting fail chance after entering the castle in Verdant Chambers location. Resolution: fixed. Сut-scene may freeze at the Capital square at the beginning of the second act. Resolution: fixed. Sycamore hall is hard to find. Resolution: marker on the local map is added. Some monsters in random encounters gave an incorrect amount of experience. Resolution: fixed. Items Amulet of Mighty Fists now properly gives bonuses to attack rolls. User Interfaces There is no way to understand the nature of zero damage. Resolution: Information about immunities and damage reduction is added to the Battle Log (available in tooltips). Tutorial messages about mechanics of the “damage reduction” were added before combats with the first creatures with damage reduction Time delay for tooltip appearance after a mouse click was too big. Resolution: reduced. An issue with male elven hairs and capes visualization while playing Ranger and Rogue classes. Resolution: fixed. NPC Hassuf has empty lines in vendor list. Resolution: fixed. Unlocalized loot window title. Resolution: fixed. An issue with Chinese localization in Quest notification. Resolution: fixed. Kingdom An Ancient Formula quest may be reported as completed before actually completing it. Resolution: fixed. Classes Controlled Fireball damages allies. Resolution: fixed. Wizard familiar bond list has Hunter’s Bond available for selection. Resolution: fixed. Misc Missing or wrong German, French and Chinese localization. Resolution: the next batch of issues is fixed. No text on computers with Spanish and Italian system locale. Resolution: fixed. An issue with the backer items description in Credits. Resolution: fixed. Several achievements were unlocking incorrectly. Resolution: fixed. System Loading may cause an issue with previously saved file. Resolution: fixed. Graphics settings auto-detection may detects higher configuration on Linux. Resolution: fixed. Crash while saving with specific path or locale. Resolution: fixed. Another issue we hear a lot about - the problem with the custom companions - and some other stuff as well will be addressed in the next Hotfix. Stay tuned for further game and community updates!

Surviving Mars: "Sagan"-update finally fixes startup-bug on Linux

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The just released so called “Sagan”-update to the management/building game Surviving Mars finally fixes the long outstanding startup-bug on Linux and adds challenges among a lot of other things:

New Feature: Challenges Challenges are a new game mode where you have to accomplish a specific objective within a time limit. Mission parameters, game rules and colony coordinates are predetermined and unique for each challenge. A total of 24 challenges are now available. Self-sufficient Rovers Rovers no longer have batteries and there’s no need to recharge roves from Power cables. We reevaluated this mechanic and decided that the amount of micromanagement it required was more tedious than actually presenting a meaningful challenge. We are removing it as part of our initiative to reduce the unnecessary micromanagement in the game and allow the player to focus on more important tasks. Rover Command AI tech now enables automated mode for Explorers and Transports. Changes to Concrete Deposits We have reworked the Concrete Extractor to work more in line with other extractors. Concrete Extractors have to be placed in the vicinity of the concrete deposit marker and no longer take into account the specific patch of terrain they cover. This way concrete deposits can be fully exploited even with a single extractor. Changes to Maps Due to the changes in concrete deposits, as well as other fixes to the random map generator, all maps have been generated again and will look different than previous versions. Environmental variety of maps has been improved. Changes to Research The randomization of research (both order of techs in the research tree and breakthroughs discovered from anomalies) is now tied to the random seed of the individual map. This means that techs are always the same on the same map but different between different maps. This change allows players to compete for score on even terms on the same map coordinates and to have the same experience with techs when attempting Challenges. Changes to Messages Popup messages will now arrive first as blinking notifications, which will pop up after some time has passed. This way popups will not interrupt your current actions like placing or managing buildings. Some important messages will still pop up without a notification. Controller Support for the Infobar “Resource Overview” buttons are removed from the HUD for both mouse and controller interfaces. The Infobar can now be navigated using controller. Rollover highlights have been added to the Infobar in the controller version of the UI. Balance Changes Reduced Mega Trigon Dome construction and maintenance costs Trigon Dome now requires Polymers for maintenance Dust generated from Building and Rocket sources has been increased General Fixes and Improvements Crystals in “The Philosopher’s Stone” mystery should now work properly Resource deposit markers are now aligned to the building grid Increased the range in which the Transport Rover looks for Transport Route resources to 25 hexes Fixed the sound effect of the Artificial Sun Rockets no longer require cargo to be launched towards Mars Meteor Storm epicentre now moves during the disaster Improved Pipe placement logic, related warnings and cost predictions Price of Pipe segments placed over non-buildable or rough terrain is now properly calculated Landing Pads are no longer being suspended by disasters Deep scanning progress for sectors is now properly reset after surface scanning Sub-surface Heater & Mohole Mine are now protected from freezing Endless Supply game rule now disables achievements Fixed the game not launching on some Linux distributions General performance improvements UI fixes and improvements: Dust radii of Extractors and Rockets are now shown on placement and selection New auto pin settings in Options > Gameplay, that allow customization of pinned objects Key-bindings now properly appear in rollover hints Added key-bindings for passages and passage ramps Added warning sign over buildings that lack input resources Settings for Photo mode are now properly saved Added Reset button to Photo mode Fix for Photo Mode, which removes black artefacts appearing on some buildings Fix for the “Build Menu” shortcut to work as a toggle button instead of only opening the build menu Various encyclopedia texts have been updated to reflect Sagan changes Added description text for Health lost due to the “Infected” trait Reworked the early warning notification for disasters to be more informative

State of Mind: now available for Linux on GOG and Steam

Wed, 15 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The new SciFi-Adventure State of Mind from developer Daedalic is now available for Linux on GOG and Steam!

When mind and machine become one – what will remain of humanity? Berlin, 2048 – The world is on the brink. Lack of resources, illnesses caused by polluted air and water, crime on the rise, war. Governments and companies promise remedies through technological progress. Drones and humanoid robots replace humans in the public sector, everything is interconnected, surveillance has become omnipresent. Richard Nolan is one of the few journalists openly criticizing this development. When he wakes up in hospital after an explosion and finds that his wife and son have mysteriously vanished, Richard realizes: he and his family have become more than just bystanders in a storm of rivaling ideas pertaining humankind’s salvation between dystopian reality and digital utopia. Instead, they find themselves right at the center of it. This domestic drama evolves into a thriller about a worldwide conspiracy, which at its core aims to determine the fate of humanity: Could a perfect digital utopia be the answer? A virtual paradise not affected by material needs and quarrels? Could a super-AI be our savior – or would it simply declare us as dispensable since it could not be taught the value of philanthropy? What will the world look like after this storm, what will remain of humanity?

Machia Villain: now available for Linux on GOG and Steam

Wed, 16 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Machia Villain, a strategy- and management-game inspired by titles like Dungeon Keeper and Prison Architect, is now available for Linux on GOG and Steam!

Welcome to Villain City, a luxury community entrenched in the hills of horror. Ax murderers, mad scientists and tax evaders, all kinds of bad guys consider this place to be their sweet home. This is the perfect place to rest, relax, and pursue a career in the noblest of professions: professional Villain!! The real estate agent promised you a haunted house with jump scare devices and terrifying traps. Instead, you have a piece of empty land full of Vermin near a rubbish forest. But do not flee yet! With a little elbow grease, the help of your minions and a lot of murders, you can turn this house into a happy and dreary mortal trap. Just lure locals inside, then trigger your deadly traps or let your minion feast on their brains and flesh. Every night you’ll multiply your evil level until everyone calls your mansion " scary, nasty and horrible." Be aware that the League of MachiaVillain Villains has adopted a strict policy that governs the level of wickedness that you have to adhere to in order to stay in the community. Drs Frank and Stein, Siamese co-Chairmen of the Board of evil ( BDM ), dictated a series of rules to follow when conducting your villainous business. They cover everything from how to kill intruders- to what salads are considered the most evil (no surprise, grated carrots). Follow the rules of the League and become the scariest neighborhood Villain! Build your mansion: Create the evil mansion of your nightmares! Put together the perfect crypt for your vampire, the insanest lab for your mad scientist, an irresistible swimming pool for your victims (and your shark) and don’t forget the cannibal kitchen! Gather your evil nightmare team: Choose your minions wisely though, as each possesses different traits and have different needs that must be tended to.

Attack of the Earthlings: turn-based strategy game now available DRM-free for Linux on GOG

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

One month after the release on Steam, the turn-based strategy game called Attack of the Earthlings appears now also DRM-free for Linux on GOG.

Attack of the Earthlings combines turn-based combat and stealth in a dark comedic single player campaign, where you the player, take control of the native alien race to defend your home world from the invading humans. Galactoil, a comically dysfunctional energy corporation, are hell-bent on harvesting the known universe for energy and will drill anything in its incessant quest to line its pockets with profit. However, their latest foray into energy exploration on Planet X13, has placed them into a bit of a pickle. The Swarmers, the native insectoid species, have another idea - to eat all the workers! You take control of the Swarmers, a highly aggressive insectoid species, who must convert human flesh into alien muscle, upgrade their units and even find the time to gatecrash a birthday party. To put a stop to the invasion, the Swarmers must plan attacks carefully. Take control of unsuspecting workers, set traps, emerge from vents and hiding spots to take your human prey by surprise, and assault in groups to kill multiple enemies at once. The more earthlings killed, the more corpses can be consumed and transformed into new units with specialized roles and unique abilities. The flesh of their own workers is the key ingredient to developing a successful alien insurgency against Galactoil. Voice actor and Vine extraordinaire, SungWon Cho A.K.A ProZD (A Hat in Time, Paradigm), lends his brilliant voice to X13 mining operation Regional Manager Dennis Dickinham; a man both massively unqualified and massively overpaid. A gregarious fellow who finds joy in everything, be it catching a few rounds of golf with the boys or rerouting power from sickbay to the massage chairs in the boardroom, Dickinham’s a delight to be around! Just never, NEVER utter the phrase “bad idea” in his presence. The game also features an original soundtrack by composer Mikolai Stroinski (Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Blood & Wine).

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The new city building-simulation set on planet Mars called “Surviving Mars” (published by Paradox) is now available for Linux on GOG and Steam!

Colonize Mars and discover her secrets, with minimal casualties. Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars!

With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome! Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for your colony. Build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand your settlement. Cultivate your own food, mine minerals or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping your colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet. There will be challenges to overcome. Execute your strategy and improve your colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you. Main Features: Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges you to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of your colonists. You really don’t want rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen. Each colonist is a unique individual with problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. Things can get really interesting if your chief scientists develops alcoholism after one too many long nights in the lab. Retro-futuristic super structures housing colonists, factories and commercial buildings with their own “neighborhood personality.” Create colonies that value science over everything else, while tired workers drink their pay away at a local bar, or attempt a utopia among the stars. Inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, Surviving Mars holds many secrets. During each playthrough players may encounter one of Mars’ individually crafted mysteries. Uncovering these secrets might bring your colony great fortune, or terrible ruin. What is that sphere that manifested itself outside colony HUB B, and is it friendly? Combine static and random research through experimentation, which allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. Attain new scientific breakthroughs by exploring the uncharted terrain of Mars’s surface. A sleek, modern take on the bright futurism of the 1960s. A time of exploration and adventure. Craft your own fantastic buildings, parks or even a mystery to share through Surviving Mars’s extensive and convenient modding tools. Share your finest creations with the community to build the perfect society.

Vaporum: Steampunk Dungeon Crawler now available for Linux on GOG and Steam

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Vaporum, a Dungeon Crawler in a Steampunk-Setting, is now available for Linux on GOG and Steam!

Vaporum is a grid-based, single-player & single-character dungeon crawler RPG seen from the first person perspective in an original steampunk setting. Inspired by old-school games like Dungeon Master I and II, the Eye of the Beholder series, and the most recent Legend of Grimrock I and II. Stranded in the middle of an ocean, in front of a gigantic tower, the hero has to find out what the place is, what happened there, and most importantly, who he is. KEY FEATURES First person real-time combat Puzzles and level-wide objectives Gadget-based RPG system Lots of exploration, loot, and character customization Mysterious storyline filled with secrets Fully voiced main characters Immersive steampunk setting COMBAT Combat takes place in real time. Each enemy has a distinctive set of strengths and weaknesses so you have to employ different tactics to beat each one. Weapon types have each a set of unique bonuses and behaviors which adds more depth and thought when choosing what weapons to equip. You will find many types of gadgets: direct attacks, area attacks, offensive & defensive buffs… These gadgets are powerful, but some enemies are immune to certain types of attacks, so you will have to figure out the best way to deal with every encounter the game throws at you. PUZZLES Solve intriguing puzzles and level-wide objectives where you have to use both your wits and reflexes. While most puzzles and riddles are contained in a single room, progression objectives can span an entire level or even multiple levels. CHARACTER PROGRESSION Instead of increasing the abilities of your human character, you will improve an exoskeleton rig you wear. The game combines a “you are what you wear” aspect with a long-term development of your exo-rig. The gadget-based system allows you change your loadout of gadgets at any time, giving you a great deal of flexibility to deal with various situations. On the other hand, as you progress, you get to unlock useful circuits on your exo-rig, gaining significant permanent attribute bonuses and passive skills. STORY & EXPLORATION Stranded on a small islet in the middle of an ocean, you enter a gigantic mechanical tower. Nothing makes sense to you, but it is all strangely familiar… If you want to get into the backstory and uncover the mysteries of the tower, you can delve right into it by reading all the notes you can find. Don’t worry, though, you can safely ignore all the text. All major story points are narrated by the main characters and they are fully voiced! There are many optional areas in the game that you can choose to explore. They usually present some form of additional challenge, but come with a reward too! The tower is riddled with secret passages that contain unique items and notes of its inhabitants, giving you an insight into their lives and events that precede your arrival.

You can subscribe to mods on steam and they will get automatically downloaded into your game. You can also upload new mods directly from the game and see the current mod ratings. Steam is not required for mods though No coding required! We have a simple text format which allows to add any new content. These are the same tools that we used during development. Add items, characters, enemies, dice, statuses, events, worlds and much more. We went through all our scripts and made sure that they have nice entry points for being moddable. We made all of our text and image content open source. You can see it at https://github.com/Maschinen-Mensch/curiousexpedition and use it as inspiration for your own mods or games Access lots of ingame debugging tools which allow you to spawn any entity or run any event on the fly.

If you have more questions also please join our discord server https://discord.gg/maschinen-mensch and chat with us and other modders directly We created a free extension for the free Visual Studio Code text editor. Go to https://code.visualstudio.com/ to download the editor and enter TCE Script in the extension settings to download our plugin. It will give you proper syntax highlighting and search functionality making working with the script files much more convenient. This is just the start of our modding tools. We’re looking forward to your feedback and will add more functionality to support your ideas. Achievements! We added over 60 new cool achievements to the game (some of them are secret) There is a new section in the hall of fame allowing you to see all the achievements and your progress These achievements are synched to steam achievements, which you can show off on your steam profile. Steam is not required for achievements though Almost all our achievements track their progress separately for each difficulty level, so once you’ve mastered easy or medium difficulty, you can try your luck again on a harder difficulty For now achievements are disabled when mods are enabled Main Menu New background graphics Added a news section allowing you to read about development news from within the game Nicer UI elements (checkboxes and exit buttons) Added animated campfire to several event screens Added new secret explorers Added new sound effects for some aftermath events English text will be shown as fallback if no localized string is available Tuning Lone survivor perk fills up full sanity bar when triggered Made climbing gear slightly stronger and climber perk slightly weaker Increased ship water refill to 20 units Angry native zones can never become unaggroed now (unless they are sleeping) Restricted most quests to appear before final expedition Missionary quest is now automatically resolved when entering the village Remove local curses when stepping through portals Corruption sprawls will no longer kill enemies Tesla gun now benefits from gun expert perk No random fires can happen when packing a camp up anymore.

SOMA: Update with "Safe Mode" released, Monsters won't kill anymore

Sun, 03 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

For the outstanding Horror-game SOMA an Update including the “Safe Mode” has been released. If you start a new game in “Safe Mode”, Monsters won’t actively hunt you and can’t kill you anymore. Sadly on existing save files, you can’t turn on the “Safe Mode”. But: SOMA is in my opinion one of the best games available on Linux, and you have to play it - with or without “Safe Mode”! You can buy the game at GOG and Steam.

Space Pirates And Zombies 2: now available for Linux on GOG and Steam

Tue, 07 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Space Pirates and Zombies 2 is now officially available for Linux on GOG and <a href=“http://store.steampowered.com/app/252470/Space_Pirates_And_Zombies_2/” target="_blank>Steam!

In SPAZ 2 you must survive in an evolving post apocalyptic Galaxy. The zombie threat is defeated, infrastructure has collapsed, fuel is scarce, and scavenging means survival. Initially the Galaxy contains hundreds of fleets, each trying to survive. AI captains do everything the player can. The player is not special and is not the center of the Galaxy. As resource scarcity becomes critical, ships come into conflict just to survive. Factions may form for protection or split due to starvation. Old friends must become fodder. Stronger factions establish and defend territories, set up resource hubs, and establish star bases. Weaker factions may resort to banditry. Each captain is unique, persistent, and shapes the Galaxy. When factions meet, combat is usually the result. While the strategic side of SPAZ 2 is about exploration, territorial control, and faction building, the action side of SPAZ 2 is about ship construction, tactics, and salvage. Combat creates damaged ships and dead crew, but it also provides new salvaged parts. All the parts in SPAZ 2 are modular and randomly generated. If you see something you like, break it off an enemy, grab it with your tractor beam, and connect it to your ship. Ship construction can be done live during battles, though sometimes beating an enemy to death with their broken wing is also fun. Back on the star map, battles will attract other captains looking for salvage. Take your new parts and run. Upgrade, repair, and prepare to fight another day, for darker threats are about to emerge. Key Features: Two hundred persistent Captains that are able to do everything the player can, including forming dynamic factions, building structures, controlling territory, and going to War. A true living galaxy that is not player centric. It will develop differently each game through the interactions of the agents. Build your own faction from nothing. Randomly generated modular parts. Build the mothership that suits your play style, on the fly, in seconds. Every part has its own unique stats that contribute to the mothership. Every part has its own hull integrity and damage states. Every part is a real, working, ship component. Strategic ship building. The mass, location and shape of parts all matter. If a part blocks a turret, it will not fire. If a ship is too long, it will turn slowly. Too many engines will mean too little power for weapons. Every design choice counts. A fully physics based 3d environment where everything is destructible, takes damage from impacts, can be grabbed and even thrown at enemies with the tractor beam. Natural movement and controls. Movement is on a 2d plane and screen relative, much like an FPS. The combat feels like huge pirate ships battling on an ocean. Focus on tactical positioning and manage system power to unleash hell at the right moment. Epic ship to ship battles. Tear the enemy apart piece by piece over minutes, instead of seconds.
