After a testing phase of nearly a month the final version 2.0 of ScummVM has been released.
With ScummVM it is possible to run classic Point-and-Click-Adventures (LucasArts, Sierra etc.) on many modern systems.
Besides improvements in the video- and audio-systems and in the support for Joysticks, the Version 2.0 also gained support for 23 new titles:
The developers of Sword Coast Legends announced on Steam, that their publishing contract is coming to an end at the end of December.
Therefore the Action-RPG will be no longer available on Steam from the beginning of January, and a final sale for the game (€ 4,94) has started.
The Euro Truck Simulator 2 has gotten a new (paid) DLC: Special Transport.
It adds very huge (up to 70 tons, 6 m width, 5+ m height und 20+ m length) cargo, AI-escort-vehicles and also a new checkpoint-system to the game:
The new Version 2017.12.12 of AppGameKit (aka AGK2) adds again a ton of new features and improvements.
Worth noting this time is the extension of the physics-simulation Box2D and access to Text-to-Speech-functions for mobile devices in the engine.
Also a free set with xmas-styled-graphics has been released.
The Changelog for this version:
For Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles the huge Update 1.3.1 has been released for Linux on Steam.
It adds the Brettonian and Empire campaign to the game as well as a lot of other new features and improvements.
The full changelog:
Bretonnian and Empire campaigns!
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"!
