  Below are pictures and a few videos taken by Japanese gamers (press people) who tried out the Steam Deck at the show.

• The ubuntu.com, or Subnautica: Here’s Zero. Why is there a major free feature? - Game News 24

  This update has another big feature, Custom Game Mode. A variety of new settings allow you to make the most of the gameplay, including a length of day and night, the frequency of heavy weather, the damage that a player takes, the damage that a person takes, the damage suffered by the predator, the hostility of animals, and even the possibility of a vegetarian diet. The newcomers should bring more freedom and experiences with such situations as Subnautica: Low Zero and veteran explorers need more access. The new Unstuck button, conveniently located in the pause menu, will also allow players to teleport to the last safe place in case they get stuck in tricky geometry.

  Steam Cloud Save was restored, as well as a number of fixes and optimizations allowing the game to perform more smoothly than ever. With tons of custom game options and new base building options, now is the time to come in to build your new base in Subnautica: below zero.

• Cemu 2.0-2 Released For This Open-Source, Linux-Supported Wii U Emulator - Phoronix

  The 2.0-2 update has various fixes, including several Linux-specific fixes, some code refactoring and clean-ups, and documentation improvements.

• Godot Engine - The next big step: Godot 4.0 reaches Beta

  It has been a long road to Godot 4.0 with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. We aren’t done yet, but today marks a major milestone on the road to Godot 4.0.

  Today we are pleased to announce that the first beta for the much-anticipated release of Godot 4.0 is now ready and available for download. We know that everyone is eager to get their hands on Godot 4.0 and this is a major step in getting there. Like in previous release cycles, a beta release means that we are happy with the features that have been included and we don’t plan on adding any major new features before release (except for a few that have been discussed and planned in advance). The goal between now and the stable release will be to continue polishing the current feature set by fixing bugs and optimizing performance.
