As it is I'm mostly going to lurk and whine about linux support for games.

Do a search of the All Sexy Games section using the word Linux.

As it is I'm mostly going to lurk and whine about linux support for games.

The problem isn't Linux support for games but game engine support for Linux -- developers could easily use the tools available to them to make their software cross platform, but instead they choose to contort themselves into a misshapen box labelled MS Windows and close the lid. WINE is useful but it won't solve the problem of idiosyncratic monoculture coders!

Serif is a software company that has been doing this for years with reasonably priced, excellent (non games) applications, but whenever someone suggests they go cross platform they stick their digits in their ears and sing loud and off key!

Mods: I apologise if this seems OT [cross fingers]and I promise I won't do it again! Honest![/cross fingers]

Edit: Oh dear! It seems when I foul up I do it right royally -- thanks for the reprimand, skelaturi! Please accept my humble apologies kakarilll, Chessy, igame and d.e.vane -- WELCOME!

That's "Buckeye" for anyone not familiar with Ohio. The best description is an inedible nut resembling a chestnut.
I grew up (20 years) in Maumee (Toledo suburb). Welcome.

I'm 45, from the UK. I've been distracting myself with games for a while and especially looking forward to the LOP stuff (though it's not free...).

[Greebo]

Welcome kermit! I hope you're okay with salt water. By the way, I understand it's not easy being green and I was sorry to hear about the split with Miss Piggy -- still I guess such a relationship wasn't really going to stand the test of time

Hi to all, my name is Grayhawk and I have been playing the creations of Shark and team for many many years, i am living in the foot hills of Oklahoma USA and must say that no games exist that are superior to the games found in the lagoon. I am a elderly male specimen who has retired from the enjoyable field of customer relations. It has been so many years since the discovery of the lagoon that i can not remember just how i stumbled on to it but the first game i remember playing was HOT SAND and i been witness to the games becoming better and better until we enjoy the challenges of todays masterpieces. Not a lot to do now that i have reached senior status however i still enjoy a cold beer or two when mowing the lawn.
I, like most of the lagooners enjoy the Windy series the most and will be super happy to see more of the same, although the Castle Whispers was truly amazing. A good day is wished to all.

Hello everyone!
My name is Kul and I am from England.
I have been creating renders using Daz3d for about 3 years now and have been playing adult 3D games for much longer.
I have a page on deviant art where me and my friend post our renders although we have not been posting much recently.
Our renders can be found at http://kelly00000.deviantart.com/

Recently I had the idea to make a visual novel but since I am not that good at creating an interesting story I thought that maybe I could just do the rendering while someone else would do the writing.

I mostly use the forums here at the lagoon for updates on upcoming games and I thought that I should make an account just in case I could help a fellow content creator.

Thanks.

Welcome grayhawk46 and skullkully.

@ grayhawk46; while stationed at Holloman AFB, for a period I headed the Training facility. I visited Tinker for a time just to see how those folk did business. Most of my career was in Arizona and New Mexico and our families were in Ohio so we traversed your city many times. Again welcome.

@ skullkully; You may find the Projects section to your liking. Once you've satisfied our requirement to create a thread, posting your desire to team up with someone else will probably pay dividends.

Just because I'm obsessive compulsive:
There is no official language here. English is most commonly used but if you're not comfortable with that, please post in your native language and we'll do our best to understand.
Before you can create any new thread we ask you look for an existing thread that expresses your underlying thought. If none exist, and you've met our requirements you can create a new thread.
It's all spelled out here FAQs, the Rules, and Supplemental Rule. Please dedicate the time necessary and become familiar with them.
Once more I extend a warm greeting to you both.
LRM
