@uoou sending a video love letter about #CavesOfQud #traditionalroguelike #roguelike
The stylised but functional presentation & the deep lore encourages you to layer your imagination around its framework & makes the world as fascinating as you can muster. The true power of traditional roguelikes.
Qud does it so well and in a world that is crafted and generated almost infinite replayability.
Plus it works well with #linux
watch, be encouraged & play
The #7DRL challenge #roguelike entries are up on itch.io for perusal. Each year the quality level and the variety of unique ideas on the roguelike genre is a marvel to behold..
https://itch.io/jam/7drl-challenge-2021/entries
Many run in web browsers and support #Linux
I totally agree with @uoou on his latest video at @HexDSL channel.

I enjoy the escapism & immersion of #gaming always have. But on multiple platforms (#Linux PC & consoles) I have accumulated a LOT of titles. Often during holidays, I revel in my unrestricted playtime.
As my holiday dwindles the pressure intensifies to pick the "right title" to throw my time into.
Often I waste that time with bad short plays & disatisfaction.
Too much choice, mood not fitting genre.
Enjoying the odd session with #Mud #Game #AlterAeon recently, they have a very engaging client even the Windows client works well in #Linux under #Wine.
It's refreshing to be back in Multi-User Dungeons and just enjoying the ride, without having to constantly assess whether I want to put anymore time into it, or go back to the eternal mudquest for another place to be.
Accessible tutorial, a fair amount of players, understandable mechanics. 
@HexDSL does a thoughtful roundup of his #cyberpunk week of vids, playing a lot of #games on #linux

Some others worth looking at Harebrained Schemes #Shadowrun series, Supergiants #Transistor, Spiders #TheTechnomancer, Zeboyd Games #CosmicStarHeroine, #EYEDivineCybermancy, #Dex, #Echo, #SatelliteReign, #SystemCrash, #NeonChrome, #VirtuaVerse, @silverspookgames #Neofeud
not forgetting the currently in development Trese Brothers #CyberKnightsFlashpoint
Today is the day, I've been waiting for so long, the space exploration #roguelike #ApproachingInfinity finally escapes the publishers prison of 5 years and is released out onto the world via Steam.

It's got a new lick of paint and several systems have been shined up.
If you like #StarTrek and/or #roguelike you might want to consider this #game
My bumbled "trek" towards #Linux, my Day 2 of the #100DaysToOffload

The 7-day #roguelike challenge 2020 is now coming to a close for most #gamedev. But have a look-see at the free #game (s) on offer!
https://itch.io/jam/7drl-challenge-2020/entries
There is a lot of good quality on show this year. Well worth investigating if you like short challenging titles with often unique and novel mechanics pushing the accepted RL envelope.
Taste what is possible.
Many of the titles will run on #linux or are web based.
The #TreseBrothers did a #reddit Ask Me Anything #AMA about Star Traders Frontiers & their upcoming #CyberPunk #game CyberKnights Flashpoint (CKF).
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/eztigi/ama_we_are_the_devs_behind_star_traders_frontiers/
Asked about #Linux support ...
"Yes, Linux support is something we feel strongly about. All of our past Steam games have had native Linux support from day one and we're going to keep that up with CKF. Linux is included in the alpha phase, so its a full citizen around here"
One of a favourite #game developers the Trese Brothers are due to kickstart their new #Cyberpunk title on February 3rd. A followup or successor to their mobile Cyber Knights #RPG game.
Cyber Knights Flashpoint

Looking forward to seeing how this one develops if it has the depth & design of Star Traders Frontiers we're in for a real treat.
Being developed for Windows,Mac and #Linux.
So I'm almost there putting together a Photo Slideshow on DVD using a combination of Imagination & DVD Styler software.
Imagination allows you to build the slideshow, with transitions, zooms & a custom soundtrack, then you can export it to a VOB file.
DVD Styler lets you build a Menu frontend which you can attach your VOB file & then you can burn it to DVD.
Just need some tweaks in transitioning & music timing and work out the aspect ratio for PAL.
Spooky #Lovecraftian #Horror #Roguelike Door in the Woods is out now on #Steam
I can confirm it works on #Linux via #SteamPlay (at least on my setup). Although the dev said there was a Linux version in the works.

So, the #gaming vibe at the moment.. I'm in love with Death Stranding, I don't want it to end. I'm bewitched by Remnant of the Ashes, but I am dire at it. I've just bought Bus Simulator. Speechless. And as long as I can get Disco Elysium to work on my #Linux setup I'll be knee deep in that soon, because I am a disco mother!
I just can't encapsulate the current #game vibe at the moment, because everything is weird. And I like it.
#DeathStranding #RemnantOfTheAshes #BusSimulator #DiscoElysium
I'm all up for this #4X #Strategy #Game by the #wargame
designer/developer who coded Advanced Tactics & the Decisive Campaigns series.
Shadow Empire

Looks to be bridging the gap between $X & Wargames. Looking forward to it. Hoping it will run somehow on #Linux. But the DC series chokes on Proton. :(
#QueensWish the #2d #RPG #Game where you fight to reclaim and rebuild your lands & forts has been released today
https://invidio.us/watch?v=mkRdCWmBh2k
Withness #SpiderSoftware taking their games into new territory, winning back resources & generating them with fort composition and thriving economies.
Looking forward to see how the game play develops beyond the tutorial fortifications.
Runs good on #Linux #Proton but you need version 4.11-3 specifically.
Out of the ashes of #roguelike D**MRL #game (formerly known as #DoomRL) the birth of #JupiterHell was made possible. Today (August 1st 2019) signifies its release into Early Access!
I'd wax lyrical on just how good this take on a space soldier fighting the demonic forces of evil is, but they've made an EA release video that does it so much better than I could.

"It's like Chess with Shotguns."
Works well on #Linux been playing on #MXLinux since early kickstarter alpha
