  • Tactical zombie survival action game Dead Age 2 exits Early Access

    Offering up a mix of character building RPG mechanics, survival features, turn-based battles and much more - Dead Age 2 is officially out now as it has left Early Access. Developed by Silent Dreams and published by Headup, it's a much expanded version compared to the original which build upon what players enjoyed from the original.

    Playing quite a bit like a party-based RPG, Dead Age 2 has plenty of quests to follow with various outcomes as you deal with the different factions and try to improve your standing with them. Lots of decisions need to be taken everywhere throughout the game with paths you take leading to one of six possible endings.

    [...]

    Seems like users on Steam have been positively receiving it overall, with the more recent reviews seeming to show it has improved during the Early Access time.

  • Release candidate: Godot 3.2.4 RC 5

    Godot 3.2.4 is going to be incredibly feature-packed, and we're taking the time necessary to ensure that it will also be stable. We had a fourth Release Candidate a few days ago which got good testing and helped surface various bugs, many of which have been fixed. So we're now making a RC 5 build to keep iterating fast and make sure that the bug fixes work as expected. Thanks to all pre-release testers who help us find and debug regressions!

    Things should now be in a pretty good shape and we hope to be able to release 3.2.4 stable soon™.

    For macOS, both the standard and Mono editor builds are now signed and notarized! Thanks to Prehensile Tales for the certificate and the work on the infrastructure.

  • Catch over 1,200 creatures in Siralim Ultimate out now in Early Access

    It might not be the prettiest around but the Siralim series is quite popular because of the incredible depth and the latest Siralim Ultimate is now in Early Access.

    A game that blends together the collectathon found in monster catching games, with dungeon-crawling and RPG elements that sees you travel the lands and battle through randomly generated dungeons to acquire resources, new creatures, and loot. The developer says to think of it like "Pokemon meets Diablo, or more accurately, Dragon Warrior Monsters meets Path of Exile" - in other words it's a really big game.

  • Lazy Chess a new open source game that gives you the best moves | GamingOnLinux

    I do always love to see new takes on classic games and Lazy Chess has a fun idea. It compresses Chess down into a game of only a few possible moves each turn. The idea is that it's trying to make Chess a little less intimidating. By providing you with a few choices of the best moves, you still get a choice but not so much.

    "Lazy Chess is a non-profit chess puzzle that aims to innovate the game and reduce the intimidation factor for new or self-conscious players. On average, there are more than 30 legal chess moves available to a player in a turn, creating vigintillions (that’s 10 followed by 63 zeros) of possibilities throughout a game. Lazy Chess compresses all those possibilities. Every turn, it offers you the best 2, 3 or 4 moves you could make. The only catch? You won’t know which move is the best!"

  • Monolith of Minds announced Lila's Sky Ark, a prequel story to Resolutiion | GamingOnLinux

    Resolutiion was one of the most striking games visually from 2020 and Monolith of Minds are coming back this year with a prequel named Lila's Sky Ark.

    It seems to continue their wonderful visual design which I absolutely adore, with Monolith of Minds saying it's "where cyber-thriller meets Alice in Wonderland: the first Cradle, the original Dreamer, and the birth of the Red Code Universe". I have to admit my intense curiosity on what the heck is going on. Someone called The Conductor has launched an army at their sky island to take "all that is magical and musical" and so you need to "unite the spirits of the forest, the mountain, the sky, and the core, to fight back".

  • 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.
