So as usual behind the scenes I have been doing digging contacting various developers to find out if they have Linux versions planned and here are a few that got back to me! Games including Edge of Space, Battlepaths and more, all of these are currently on Desura.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters the ARPG that draws from Little Red Riding Hood is now in Open Beta for Linux!

If in The Funding Crowd we do a weekly review of the Linux games being crowdfunded, here in The Cheapskate's Corner you will find all the current bundles and major sales which include at least a Linux game.

Energy Hook, the grapple-and-swing-and-run-on-walls-for-style game, meets the $20k Linux stretch goal!

Another actual release, hell yes! X3: Albion Prelude is now out for Linux on Steam. X3: Albion Prelude is the latest game in the X3 space game series. TRADE, FIGHT, BUILD, THINK in a living and breathing universe.

Released today (yes an actual release news!) is Anomaly 2 the tower defence game on Steam supporting cross platform multiplayer!

Life of Pixel features platforming goodness spanning over 72 levels of moving & destructible platforms, double jumps, gravity inversion (walk on ceilings) and lots of different enemies that Pixel must avoid to unlock the history of the pixel.

A couple of months ago we talked about the possibility of a Linux version of Hairy Tales. What yesterday was pure speculation, today it has become a reality! Hairy Tales is now available for Linux at Desura.

With the explosion over the past year of crowdfunding campaigns offering some kind of Linux support, I've taken a look at why Linux support as a stretch goal can work against rather than for a campaign.
