Old Androids Never Die, They Just Have A Few Screws Loose

Shenmue 3 by Ys Net » Update On PC Version Rewards — Kickstarter

July 2, 2019


Christ on a bike, this was the stupidest thing they could do.

Yes, I backed for the PS4, but this hurts ME too - not just because part of my backer funds were supposed to go towards making a real physical release for everybody - but because the backlash from this will hurt Kickstarter the most, and all the nostalgia-based goodwill Ys.Net was getting is completely gone. Mue 4? LOL, yeah right - everyone will remember what happened and it will sell terribly, and it'll be another 16 years before Mue 5.

It's not Star Wars, dude. 1 and 2 were incredible. If 3 sucks as bad as this business-decision makes it seem like it will, there will never be a Mue 4. :(


Upgrades

Everything being served on CC is now 100% 64-bit code. (yeah I know, but if it ain't broke...)

Also, Kanboard was discarded in favor of an integrated kanban board system, since nobody else is using it.


Heavy Rain

June 26, 2019


Maybe as a Linux gamer I'm more used to having a stack of stores/launchers for playing games - Overwatch, for instance, goes Steam->Lutris->Battle.net->Overwatch for me - so I don't really care too much about Epic's store. Also, running under WINE drastically limits their ability to steal data, too.

That said, the Heavy Rain demo runs on Lutris - which is interesting, but I'd rather have Detroit: Become Human.

To do this, just tweak the DXVK settings in Epic Game Store's launcher to use DXVK 1.2.2. Game runs, choppy a little, with sound and speech.


Et Tu, Mue 3???

It's painful watching people sell out, especially when they're people you honestly admired and thought would be above it. After today's Epic Store Exclusivity announcement, I'm gravely disappointed in Ys.Net and Deep Silver.

Someone at Kickstarter really needs to step up and start defending backers, or there won't be any backers left to defend, and KS, as well as the smaller indie projects it was actually meant for, are going to be the ones that suffer.


uname -eh?

Linux beast 5.0.0-16-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 10:52:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It's running pretty nicely so far, though there was a strange thing with the USB-C dock I have all my desktop shit plugged into, but that seems to have passed.

Will try some games once I'm done work today.
