Beyond Human is a Metroidvania Sci-Fi platformer inspired by Metroid, Megaman, and Devil May Cry. Over two weeks to go with everything to play for!

The developers of Reflex have pulled the plug on their Kickstarter campaign, as it's unrealistic that the goal still can be achieved (10 days left, 81k/360k pledged). The project won't be abandoned though, as it has been greenlit on Steam and is being prepared for Early Access. If Linux support is still on their list is questionable.

The 90's Arcade Racer was delayed again with no given release date. Graphics, models and sound are in a good shape, but the code makes some trouble for the developers. Especially the AI code is giving them some headache.

"An eerie, surrealistic, first-person game experience by an independent team of developers who helped make BioShock Infinite & BioShock." That's the tagline of one fresh Kickstarter launched by mostly ex-Irrational Games developers.

Pathologic is a plot-driven survival open-world adventure game now on Kickstarter, but it's much more than that.

Reflex is a competitive Arena FPS that combines modern tech with the speed, precision and freedom of a 90s shooter. It may become for Quake what UT is for the Unreal series. The game just went on kickstarter and Linux is on their list!

I'll get right to the point -- why do I think Stash: No Loot Left Behind deserves a penguin clan? The game is currently being funded on Kickstarter and only needs a little push!

Warlocks is a crazy (and awesome) looking pixel art action game now on Kickstarter. The developers have told us Linux will be a day 1 release too.

The team behind the Kickstarted game A Song for Viggo have announced that they have teamed up with Talawa Games, the developer of Unmechanical, to launch the game on additional platforms, including Linux.

Untold Universe is a space voxel sandbox MMORPG. Explore, shape, colonize and conquer a huge and uncharted universe! It sounds interesting, but is it worth a look?

Band Saga, "a musical action roguelike of epic proportions" is now on Kickstarter and will be available on Linux!

If you're looking for steampunk game that combines elements of rail shooters and tower defense there's a kickstarter launching Sept 2 with your name on it! In Tumbleweed Express players must expertly defend their train while constantly battling against an endless barrage of militarized bandits, outlaws, and opposing organizations.

Welcome to a new issue of The Funding Crowd! It looks like the summer lull is definitely over, as tons of interesting and good-looking projects are knocking at our doors in search of our pledges.

Distance, the successor of Nitronic Rush entered beta and promises some pretty intense survival racing.

Lazors & Asteroids is an open world SciFi game, now on Alphafunding on Desura! The game has a chunk of open levels including large-scaled pre-set space battles and procedurally generated wars, along with a Free-Roam mode in which you have to collect items and attack cargo ships to upgrade your ship.

Pillars of Eternity now has a backer-beta available, but the Linux (and Mac) versions aren't due for a while yet sadly.

Welcome to The Funding Crowd, issue #36! Summer is still going on in the boreal hemisphere, but make no mistake: boreal has nothing to do with boring, so here we come to bring you the games which are most worthy of your hard-earned money!

Welcome to The Funding Crowd #35! We have some wonderful projects to cover this issue, so read on to discover what they are about!

The Funding Crowd welcomes you to a shorter, sharper and much anticipated TFC#34! It's shorter, because less stuff happened over the quieter June period. It's sharper, because we're not pulling any punches with this edition - we're calling it as we see it. And we're assuming it's much anticipated because the last edition was a whopping 29 days ago. At least! Nearly a month!
