Heads up DRM free lovers, as Xenonauts is has been updated on GOG to include the newer native Linux version.
Mushroom 11 was released yesterday on GOG, Humble Store and Steam and is a peculiar twist on the puzzle platformer formula.
This is quite interesting, it seems Valve are actually doing some more curating on their store now ahead of the SteamOS launch.
The developers of the RPG/Tower-Defense hybrid have announced that their upcoming free HD remake update won't be using Adobe AIR and instead will be a native port for Linux.
The game, featuring an unlikely combination of gameplay elements, was a surprise release. We have Ethan Lee and FNA to thank for the port and we can expect to see more of his ports in the near future.
The developers have shared information on the status of the Linux version and will soon offer an opt-in branch on Steam for Linux users willing to test the port.
Since some people did get in an early order (not me, doh!), you will need to do a quick fix to get it to register properly.
This week Samsai is away in some mystery cabin somewhere deep in the woods, or something like that. So, I will be doing the weekly livestream you unlucky people you!

I took a quick look at Noct, a survival horror game coming out on the 22nd of October. It's unique because it's visuals are using a "thermal image satellite system high above the Earth". It sounds cool, and looks cool, but how does it play?
Telltale games are highly rated, so it's pretty exciting to see the possibility of Minecraft: Story Mode on Linux.
Just a heads up, Feral Interactive are hosting a bunch of events from tomorrow and they play to carry them on for a while for both Company of Heroes 2 and Empire: Total War.
