Police Infinity claims it isn't "yet another Unity FPS" and it has my hopes up a little bit. It doesn't look too bad, and the animations in first person look quite nice too. It's due to enter Early Access soon.
I asked on twitter for developers to get in touch about their games, and first up is Quest of Dungeons from Upfall Studios. A turn based dungeon crawler game featuring a good old 16-bit retro artistic look.
Our friends over at Virtual Programming are hard at work on porting Overlord, Overlord II and Overlord: Raising Hell to Linux. They left a funny little message for us on SteamDB too.
The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out, and as usual some websites are claiming the death of SteamOS. We are here with a better outlook. We also just recently crossed over 1900 Linux games on Steam!
It seems a bit of "human error" happened with the latest Humble Indie Bundle and Sunless Sea. Humble were accidentally selling "Lifetime Edition" keys which gives access to all future DLC when it was supposed to be normal keys.
SpeedRunners is a rather popular Early Access multiplayer running game that pits 4 players against each other. There's been a lot of people asking for a Linux version, and they have begun to deliver.
Sadly the new Dragonspear expansion for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition won't see a day-1 Linux release. UPDATE: A developer claims their FAQ is wrong and it will release on Linux as well on the same day as Windows.
I was really excited when I saw the STRAFE Kickstarter, but it didn't really seem like it would come to Linux. Thankfully, it seems like now it will be on Linux.
Not the best news, but not surprising either. A moderator on the Stardew Valley forum (so someone who would be in-the-know) has updated everyone to let us know it all depends on sales.
That Dragon, Cancer is now officially available on Linux & SteamOS. An immersive, narrative videogame that retells Joel Green’s 4-year fight against cancer through about two hours of poetic, imaginative gameplay that explores themes of faith, hope and love.
Gabe Newell from Valve was quite right to fear about the future when he starting talking up Linux, and now it looks like Microsoft will be trying to push their own store even more.
Stardew Valley from ConcernedApe and Chucklefish is a big hit right now, and it's possible it could come to Linux without enough of a push from Linux gamers.
Today I took a look at Trulon: The Shadow Engine, a new RPG on Steam. It's a spin-off of the upcoming fantasy novel ‘Shadow Gears’ from Shadowrun author Jak Koke and Trulon creator Johan Lillbacka.
I had a chance to take a look at Overfall, a very interesting mix of rogue-like exploration, RPG and strategy mechanics wrapped up in a funny looking shell.
