I have been designing skateparks in SketchUp, maybe some day they could be used in a game?

Valve has created a fork of Wine called Proton and it has made huge improvements to Linux gaming!

I've been testing and re-testing all of my Steam games, GOG games and even itch.io indie games with Proton. There is even an experimental fork of Proton called Glorious Egg Roll which has some enhancements not yet available.

Wine has come a long way!

Today Wine can play just about any windows game from sources like:

• Steam
• GOG
• Retail
• itch.io
• Uplay
• Origin
• Arc
• Battle.net

Valve has now forked Wine and created SteamPlay (aka Proton) which allows Linux gamers to enable versions of Proton to test and play their games.

GamersOnLinux is still using PlayOnLinux to test and play games... here is our YouTube Playlist of over 200 games. We also host over 400 step-by-step guides including DXVK implementations.

Like us and follow all the games I'm currently testing in Linux with PlayOnLinux.

I am involved with a team whose goal is to create step-by-step guides on running your PC games in Linux with PlayOnLinux.
There are a huge number of Direct X9 games that run GREAT in Linux with modern hardware. PlayOnLinux utilizes Wine to run games, but create a user-friendly interface and some advanced customization to ensure your games will run.

Check out our growing community as we post guides, talk Linux, talk games and share success stories.

I have been meticulously testing games in Linux with Mint and PlayOnLinux.
So far I have had a lot of success with PlayOnLinux and my PC Games.
I continue to list my results here on my Game Cave website:

Its amazing how well Wine works in Linux and the growth of Linux support.
I can't wait to see more games being ported or released with Linux in mind.

I plan to start modeling again this weekend during my Christmas break.
I'm going to practice creating models from scratch in Blender and then doing some test baking high poly to low poly. After that I will do some test imports into UDK and see how my models & normals look.

I have been paying a lot of attention to games and their assets. No matter what game I play (Far Cry2, Wolfenstein, STALKER, Legendary) all the assets still have seams. The best models I have seen so far are ironically in Unreal Tournament 3. But I admit, Assassins Creed models are very nice too.

As I develop these assets, my goal is to learn how seams can be hidden so the UV mapping isn't so obvious. Also, I have learned that normals retain display how lighting falls across surfaces, specially sharp edges and can make objects look less "perfect" and "computer generated".

First I will be working on some simple crates and revolved pottery. Then on to architectural elements like doors, roofs, walls, steps, etc.

I would like to complete several assets to scale that can be used in Hells Reach custom maps.
