Ethan Lee sent out a teaser tweet earlier about Owlboy [Official Site, Steam, GOG], as it seems he is porting it and wanted to get in first before it ends up popping up on SteamDB.

Oh yeah also this is probably going to show up on SteamDB over the weekend so here this is being a real thing coming soon (well, maybe soon) pic.twitter.com/TgxnSMExlV

About the game

Owlboy is a 'hi-bit' adventure game, where you can fly and explore a brand new world in the clouds! Pick up your friends, and bring them with you as you explore the open skies. Overcome obstacles and greater enemies, in one of the most detailed adventures of this era.

Being a mute, Otus struggles living up to the expectations of owl-hood. Things spiral from bad to worse with the sudden appearance of sky pirates.

What follows is a journey through monster infested ruins, with unexpected encounters, well kept secrets, and burdens no one should have to bear.

2D games are like retirees: they generally don't make me all hot and bothered, but there are exceptions. Perhaps this will be one of them. :)

Quoting: chuzzle44
Quoting: throghThere are hundreds of videos about Minecraft, where are the ones about Minetest for example?
Minetest is just that. It has no actual content or point. Don't get me wrong, I like Minetest. The performance compared to Minecraft is unbelievable. Open-source games in general are awesome. But let's face it, very few artist like the concept and most programmers have little artistic skill. So you end up with games that run well, but look terrible, or just have no depth. Frogatto is a fantastic exception, and there are a few others, but much like indie games can't compare to real triple-a games in sheer scale and polish, most completely open games are little more than working prototypes.[/quote]
Your opinion, but there are very good modifications and addons for Minetest making the game running great. And what about games like 0 A.D. looking awesome for example? Let's face it: The price is just to high making Linux just to another Windows, even with the same rules nowadays.

I'm not sure I buy the idea that having games in the MMO and Sports genres would somehow make Linux like Windows. It would be akin to saying that having an office suite makes Linux more Windows-like.
Thankfully, the Linux community is growing, and becoming more diverse as it does! Believe me, there are Linux users that would love to see those genres represented on our OS of choice!
