  • See console-exclusive Dante's Inferno running in the RPCS3 emulator

    Remember Dante's Inferno? No, not the 14th century Italian poem. The 2010 console-exclusive God of War knockoff where you shoot crucifixes made of light at demons and have a boss fight with Cleopatra, who gives birth to monsters via her nipples. It was an odd one.

    Dante's Inferno is the latest game to be declared fully playable and glitch-free in the open-source PS3 emulator RPCS3. "Issues with Physics made it impossible to finish some stages normally" before now, and there were some problems with cutscene audio stuttering and generally stability, but that's all solved and it's looking lovely in 4K. I mean, as lovely as Hell is ever going to look.

  • Battle through a dying Earth in the FPS 'Core Decay' - Steam page now up

    Core Decay is one of those incredible looking retro-inspired shooters we covered recently, and it's now listed on Steam for you to go give it a wishlist.

  • Be the captain in a stylish Naval adventure with 'Abandon Ship' now up on GOG

    Abandon Ship focuses on 'Age of Sail' ships in a Fantasy setting, with an art style inspired by classic Naval Oil Paintings and it is awesome when in motion.

  • Diablo on Linux levels up again with a new devilutionX release

    Diablo on Linux. Sound familiar? Well, we only just recently talked about Freeablo and now devilutionX has a brand new release made available for this classic.

    As a reminder, devilutionX is the updated version of Devilution which is a reverse engineered (and in a legal grey area) version of Diablo. The aim is to update it for modern systems, giving more people the opportunity to enjoy the classic RPG Diablo.

  • Jumpala could be the next generation of competitive platformers and it's fun already

    Indie developers never cease to amaze me on what they can do with simple settings and Jumpala is another surprise that I've been enjoying.

    You've played traditional running and jumping platformers, platform brawlers and all sorts. How about a competitive platformer where you're constantly bouncing between tiny platforms to turn them your colour and get the highest score? Like something out of Splatoon on the Switch or a one of the game modes in Move or Die where you paint your colour. Welcome to Jumpala.

  • Monster Sanctuary's latest update adds a whole new area and creatures to collect

    Monster Sanctuary is such a sweet game, another that has its own spin on the creature capture/collection genre with platforming, puzzles and metroidvania-styled exploration.

    I'm a big fan, and I like how you're not necessarily capturing wild monsters like savages. Instead you collect eggs and hatch them into your little friends, it's nice. The fourth big Early Access update is out now, adding in a whole new story arc and area to explore with eight more unique creatures lurking around.

  • Ocean's Heart, a sweet-looking upcoming action RPG that emphasizes exploration

    Ocean's Heart from developer Max Mraz is looking great! A sweet action RPG with a Zelda-like theme and it's coming to Linux. I had a little chat with the developer about it.

    This is the title that helped me to find Solarus, the cross-platform free and open source game engine as Ocean's Heart is one of the games being made with it.

    Speaking to the developer, Max Mraz, they explained Ocean's Heart as an "action RPG that emphasizes exploration, and supports that experience with detailed pixel art, rabbit-hole sidequests, and expansive optional and secret areas."

  • Supernatural horror adventure 'ASYLUM' still on track for this year and for Linux too

    ASYLUM is really looking good, and quite freaky. Senscape just released a big update post on how the progress is going, after Epic Games recently gave them a Mega Grant.

    While they've been clear it was still releasing on Steam, and Linux too, many were a little nervous about it. However, once again they've said "the Epic grant comes with no strings attached" and "So let me stress this again: ASYLUM is still coming to Steam and GOG on launch date".

    Linux was mentioned again too "Moreover, we have feature parity —both in terms of performance and stability— across all announced platforms: Windows, macOS and Linux.". They've had a bit of trouble there too, as it sounds like Unreal Engine still has plenty of issues but they've pushed through them and their attention to it is certainly going to be welcome.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
