  • RetroArch 1.8.6 released!

    We will release a Cores Progress report soon going over all the core changes that have happened since the last report. It’s an exhaustive list, and especially the older consoles will receive a lot of new cores and improvements.

  • RetroArch 1.8.6 is out with Savestate Compression, 3DS improvements and plenty of fixes

    The RetroArch team have put up another fresh release of their front-end for emulators, game engines and more. RetroArch 1.8.6 comes with some big new tricks.

    A major optimization is included with this releasing to do with their config system. They've reduced disk I/O overhead, by ensuring RetroArch doesn't write to the config when it's just not needed so you might find it feels a bit snappier and nicer on SSDs.

  • Steamdolls - Order of Chaos will bring brutal steampunk metroidvania to Linux

    Steamdolls - Order of Chaos was announced recently from developer The Shady Gentlemen, giving a metroidvania a steampunk style with some brutal action. Due to launch sometime soon on Kickstarter with Linux support (confirmed), it looks like fun.

    Blast your way to your objective or stick to the shadows and perform violent assassinations on unsuspecting guards as you struggle with the haunting apparitions of a mesmerizing witch trying to reveal the truth about a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the world.

  • UnderMine gets a final big content update with the Golden Core before leaving Early Access

    Thorium Entertainment along with publisher Fandom have announced the final major update to UnderMine, an action-adventure roguelike with a bit of RPG tossed in, before it leaves Early Access.

    With the Golden Core update, you will be entering UnderMine's fifth and final zone. Here, deep within the mine, peasants search for gold in a danger zone, surviving streams of molten metal and omnipresent fire to pick and chip away at the dark secrets lying at the heart of this cavernous shaft.

    It's not just aimed at veteran players though, there's more than 150 new encounters spread across the whole game.

  • Steampunk first-person, base building survival game 'Volcanoids' gets co-op on May 20

    Volcanoids is a fantastic idea for a survival game, that lets you build and customize a great big moving drill and this month on May 20 it's getting online co-op support. The most requested feature for the game, according to the developer, and something they've been working on for some time now.

  • Bullet Express seems like an amusing upcoming 2D action-RPG loot shooter you can try now

    LazyGemsGames are working on Bullet Express, a new 2D action-RPG shooter where you level up and merge guns together to create their ultimate form. You do this while running, gunning and rolling through a moving train know as the Bullet Express.

    The train appears to hold certain rare gems, which give you the power to merge weapons. However, they can also increase ones size and strength tenfold, so naturally that's what your enemies are doing and so you will need to face certain monstrosities.

Songs of Syx and dosbox-staging/DOSBox

  • Epic city-state simulator 'Songs of Syx' fully funded and coming to Linux

    Songs of Syx blends quite a lot of genres together. It's part city-builder, real-time strategy, grand strategy and more. Thankfully it's also been funded with a successful Kickstarter campaign that ended yesterday with about £23K in funding from over 800 backers.

    This one I'm particularly excited about because of the scale. As you're building a kingdom you will be dealing with different races, cultures, night and day, climate change, pirates and bandits. As you expand further you also then deal with other kingdoms, and perhaps even war with massive battles.

  • dosbox-staging, a 'soft' forking of DOSBox to work on advanced features has a first release

    DOSBox is about to get more advanced, with the community-made 'soft' fork dosbox-staging have a first proper release out. Made as an attempt to reinvigorate DOSBox development, it has a very admirable aim.

    The point, they say, is to provide a better experience than the standard DOSBox and hopefully get their work into the upstream project to improve it for everyone.

'Journey Mode' for Terraria 1.4

  • Re-Logic detail the new 'Journey Mode' for Terraria 1.4 that lets you do basically anything

    Terraria is set to come to a close with the almighty Journey's End update coming out on May 16, with that comes a huge new game mode with Journey Mode that was detailed today.

    Re-Logic said that their goal with Journey Mode is to "provide a more accessible experience by providing the player unprecedented control over the gameplay experience". They make it sound like it's a Creative Mode like seen in many others but it's a lot more than that, it's an entirely different way to play. So different in fact, Journey Mode has its own character saves and you can't mix characters between modes.

  • 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.
