Greetings, fans of The Funding Crowd! We are back after our anniversary celebrations, with the usual load of crowdfunding news enough to quench your pledging desires.

Mighty No. 9 is the Mega Man inspired side-scrolling action game from veteran Mega Man developers that was Kickstarted last year and will come to Linux. We now have some gameplay footage to show you.

I got an interesting email from Michael A. Marks the technical director for Aspyr Media who built his own steambox and ran some OpenGL tests with interesting results.

Monochroma, a grim indie platformer (where have we heard that before?), has been released on Steam. The developer, Nowhere Studios, managed to fund the game last year on Kickstarter and Greenlit on Steam. It appears to be set in a dark industrial world with an orwellian vibe. Carried by plot sans dialogue and some great 2.5D visuals, this game definitely looks to have potential.

So, I've already talked at length about "bad ports" and why I thought the toolkit used to port games to Linux matters. Now I'm here again to talk about why it actually doesn't matter and why we need to accept that in the end.

The IndieBox is a fantastic idea and I hope they get enough orders to keep going. You subscribe monthly (or buy single past boxes) to get a Linux-supported game-pack every month.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing series looks like it will be heading to Linux. The news comes thanks to a lucky post on their Steam forum about the second game.

The Bridge is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to re-evaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective. Sounds like it might hurt your brain a bit.

And here comes the last treat he had prepared for you to celebrate the first anniversary of The Funding Crowd. A full year worth of successes and stats that we have been regularly dosing in our columns, now in one whole go!

From the developers of Ground Pounders & Sword of the Stars comes Kaiju-a-Gogo, it's time to take over the world with big scary monsters.

Telepath Tactics is a turn-based strategy RPG set in the steampunk universe of Telepath RPG. It looks really good.

Here is a look back at the last week on GamingOnLinux, an easy way to for you to keep up to date on what has happened in the past week for Linux Gaming!

I am sure there are plenty of Nethack fans around, Vulture is an isometric graphical interface for the roguelike engine: NetHack and it's trying to get on Steam.

Democracy 3 the interesting politics simulation game has a brand new DLC titled 'Extremism'. This new DLC adds a whopping 33 new situations and policies to an already big game.

Cloudbuilt is an extremely fancy looking 3D platformer with awesome cel-shaded graphics. The developers have noted the Linux interest and it can help bring it to Linux.

As we announced earlier today The Funding Crowd is back again, this time with our usual format. But don't think you're gonna get rid of us so easily... There still might be some surprises to come.

The Funding Crowd is celebrating its first birthday! As a present we are bringing you something new: an interview with Daniel Swiger, who at the moment is crowdfunding his project Chronicles of the Rift.

Project Zomboid has finally gone and done it. The developers have pushed 'build 26' to the main download on Steam and soon to Desura too. Desura users will be delighted by this.

You know how we have a bunch of different types of science fiction space games? We have 4x strategy games, shooters, space ship simulators and a lot more. Well, Salvation Prophecy is a game that tries to be everything at the same time.

The developers of Calibre 10 Racing Series have stated that they love Linux and a Linux version is based on how much demand there is for one.
