Hello all,
So, what with the new SteamOS/SteamBox announcement ...

http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamMachines/
... is this a serious opportunity for D to start carving out space in
the games industry? What issues need to be addressed for D to be a
superb games development tool for Linux?
Best wishes,

what serious game engine could go without dynamic libs? add to this
existing tools(debuggers/IDE's) problems and you already where you
started, no one would bother doing something real for full time...
that is the sad truth about current D state.
The next version of DMD will support dynamic loading of C / D libraries
on Linux I believe.
I was being a bit polemic on purpose when I referred Unity, but the
thing is D has C# against it, at least in two fronts already.
Unity with all this cool stuff,

Here in Germany, quite a few indie studios are already making heavy use
of C# in their tooling and prototypes. As I get to read in the Making
Games German magazine.
