Prison Architect [Official Site, Steam] got a surprise holiday update and it's an interesting one. It adds a little more simulation for your staff along with some bug fixes.

Staff including Guards, Armed Guards, Dog Handlers and Snipers now need some basics attended to. Things like food, going toilet, feeling safe, comfort and so on need to be sorted for them.

An interesting update and the feature can be turned off, so you don't have to deal with it if you don't want to.

This update is currently in Beta, so you will need to opt-in on Steam to get it at the moment. To do this just right click on your game, go to properties, select betas and then select it. It's very simple to do.

See the full update notes here.

The game itself is fantastic and really can suck away endless hours of your life, so be careful. It's 75% off on Steam right now, so you know what you want to do! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Well, in their defence, update 11 is in beta. In contrast to some other companies, I always had the impression that Introversion actually cares about their Linux version.

Quoting: GuestI see a lot of enthusiasm around linux gaming lately, phoronix had an article like "2016 was great for linux games" etc: I probably have more linux games than the average linux user (346 games in steam, plus a bunch on gog), I game on linux since Loki days (I have Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri from Loki on cd-rom, with the little tux icon on the cover) and in all honesty I can't share that enthusiasm...

I have that, too. Such a great game. There are some hacks to make it still run today, pretty much. It's funny, we have the new one (Civ: Beyond Earth) and at least one clone (Pandora) but what I'd really, really like is for someone to just take Alpha C., update the interface and the graphics, maybe make sure it was pretty moddable, and otherwise slavishly leave it completely alone.
I don't have nearly as many games as you do and yet I'm much more positive about the flood of games lately. The question isn't "Are we much better off for games now than before?" because we clearly are. The question is, can this surge sustain and continue? That's a bit more up in the air. The foundations lack solidity because Linux continues to lack (desktop) users.
