Good news folks the guys at Virtual Programming aren't leaving us high and dry on the Linux port of The Witcher 2. They are working to try to improve eON for Linux, as if it's to be used in future ports then it does need to get better.

PlayCanvas is the "world’s easiest to use WebGL Game Engine". It’s free, it’s open source and it’s backed by "amazing" developer tools. Well now isn't this interesting.

Peter Lohrmann has been working on Valve's VOGL debugger to make it easier to use for developers looking to it for help.

The more Linux gains popularity thanks to Valve & Steam the more we are seeing developers claim OpenGL is broken/hard to use and so on. This time it's Joshua Barczak the lead graphics engineer for Firaxis Games (think Civilization!).

The Leadwerks game engine is now available to buy from the Ubuntu Software Centre, so anyone using Ubuntu can purchase it and install it directly within Ubuntu to begin creating games.

I really hope a lot of Unity developers upgrade to Unity4.5 as it offers up some heavily needed fixes to the engine for Linux builds of games.

Thanks to the recent fiasco of The Witcher 2 I wanted to write down some thoughts on why we shouldn't accept bad quality ports from developers.

Epic Games will soon be champions of Linux gaming for sure. They have done a big blog post on Linux support in Unreal Engine 4.

The community of coders has beaten Epic Games at the porting game and has ported the Unreal Editor to Linux already.

Remember when we got confirmation for you that Unreal Engine will have all the tools native on Linux? Well their roadmap is now public and it's on it.

Vogl the open source OpenGL debugger being made by Valve is soon to gain support for the GL 4.x API and on a lighter note it almost works on Windows.

You all asked for it and they finally delivered. Torque 2D has been updated to 3.0 with Linux support which means more games are now possible for Linux.

After months of hard work and multiple test releases, we are proud to announce the long-awaited release of Warsow 1.5. The latest and greatest version introduces significant updates to all areas of the game.

As we have reported before about Epic Games adding in Linux support for Unreal Engine 4.1+ it is now a reality. Unreal Engine 4.1 has been released!

Game Develop is a good bit of free kit for developers wanting to create games without programming or for things like prototyping. The have a Linux version currently, but they want funds to improve it.

Not long ago the tool Unknown Worlds wrote to convert Natural Selection 2's DirectX calls into OpenGL was open sourced, it has now been updated to build properly.

Before we told you about the CryEngine SDK that came up on SteamDB, well more has happened and according to the EULA it is the free SDK for CryEngine 3.

I recently wrote about Esenthel and it seems they are now moving to better align themselves with engines like CryEngine and Unreal Engine with subscriptions.

Good news guys, Valve dropped everything to make sure their Vogl debugger works with Unreal Engine 4.

Today Epic Games is bringing the dynamite with news about Unreal Engine 4.1 and it's Linux/SteamOS support.
