Valve Has Flipped That Switch & Greenlit More Linux Games This July

By - | Views: 10,178
Valve have done their usual thing of turning on the greenlight to go for a bunch more indie games. We have the ones listed as supporting Linux for you.

My top picks
These are the games I feel stand out the most.

Warlocks
Warlocks lets you join the grandest of all tournaments, a tournament to determine the most powerful warlock from all the dimensions.
The plot's generic and that's how we want it to be, everything in the game will be both extreme and mockingly over the top.

CARGO 3
CARGO 3 is a climatic game set in science-fiction horror world. This is a futuristic action game, which links the best features of the genre: unusual dynamics and thrilling high intensity of the gameplay.

More visual novels. Neat.

And a cute point-and-click adventure. :)

I did not check all of these, but warlocks seems promising, even if I wouldn't mind better graphics, I am getting tired of all these "retro-style" games.
Reminds me some classics (like this BIG title on Gamecube, I can't remember its name).
I personally love this kind of multiplayer videogames where you can hook up as many joysticks, keyboards, gamepads and other controllers to play on your TV with your friends. So much fun!

Quoting: GuestOh god they greenlit Bionic Heart... I am unamused by this >_>

Is it that bad? I have it on Desure, but haven't played it yet.

Quoting: GuestRen'Py being the most accessible VN engine on the net

I've looked into Ren'Py a bit, and yeah, I concur, it is pretty nice.
I hear the documentation is lagging behind development a bit, but I can fully understand that; docs are hard.

Also, I personally wish its code had more comments: it's sometimes a bit weird seeing a magic value in the code, or a seemingly weird way of handling something, and not knowing where that came from. But again, I'm probably guilty of that as well in my FLOSS projects; it often hard to notice that while you're writing it.

Quoting: GuestAnalogue

Analogue: A Hate Story and Hate Plus are amazing games, in my opinion.

I always loved Christone Love's earlier, pseudo-prequel Digital: A Love Story. I really didn't get don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story, but I guess it just wasn't my story. :P

Quoting: GuestHeileen

IMHO, the first one is okay. A nice little story, even if the protagonist is a bit naive.

The second one isn't. I said a bit more about that in comment to the "What have you been playing recently" article. YMMV, of course.

I heard the third one is supposed to be better? We'll see when it comes to Steam...

While I'm on that tangent here, other (free) Ren'Py visual novels I personally liked that come to my mind right now are Romance Detective and the two Rising Angel ones. Again, YMMV.

Great to see Time spinner greenlit too, after our coverage in the last Funding Crowd article. I pledged to that game. Just a shame we have to wait for it now... :-)

Haven't seen this before. Reminds me of Castlevania: SOTN :)

Thanks for highlighting that one, it looks promising http://www.adventuregamers.com/news/view/26624

Also 39 Days to Mars sounds like it could be fun, especially if my gaming buddy is up for the co-op

Spellcaster might hit that classic RPG spot, but not quite sure about that drawing-runes-to-cast-spells mechanic

There's no way I'd play VN's on steam after I played them on desura.

Just try not voiced version of this one.
