Kalypso Media really are getting Linux friendly aren't they! Vikings – Wolves of Midgard has been announced as a new action RPG that will launch in early 2017.
While it's sad to see it as a stretch-goal, I have big faith in Nightdive Studios due to their previous good support of Linux. System Shock is being remade and it's probably going to be funded quite well.
A couple of us are a bit hooked on the FPS game Ballistic Overkill and we did a livestream on Twitch the other night to show it off some more. It's now on Youtube for you to laugh at us.
Ballistic Overkill, an online class-based FPS recently released Linux support, but it was another we totally missed. I picked up a copy and took a look.
Red Comrades Save the Galaxy: Reloaded is a remaster of a 1998 point & click adventure game that was rebuilt for Unity and it is now available on Linux & SteamOS too.
Apparently Rotorcross is becoming a thing where you race drones and it actually sounds like a pretty cool idea for a game. The code is open source too, but it's built with Unity.
The folks Unity3D are currently doing a "HackWeek" when they work on special projects. It looks like the Linux team are working on using SDL instead of X11 directly which will bring Mir & Wayland support amongst other things.
Among the Sleep is the first-person horror adventure where you're playing as a toddler—it's freaky. The developers have updated the game to Unity 5, and now it's all fixed up for Linux I could take a proper look.
VoidExpanse is a really cool space action RPG I've talked about a few times, and they recently updated the game which has fixed some major Linux issues.
7 Days to Die recently released Alpha 14, and with it came broken graphics for Linux gamers. The developers are asking for logs to help them narrow down what's causing it. It sounds very familiar to me.
If you didn't know already, Unity games tend to phone home details of what you're running. They release this data, and it shows Linux is a pretty low percentage of gamers.
I came across another one of my weird issues recently. In Unity3D games when running them my mouse pointer would just flash or flicker, and I found a simple solution.
Greetings developers, just to let you know that Unity have now added Linux builds of the fresh 5.4 beta. They have also updated the stable build with core OpenGL fixes, as it was quite broken.
It's really good to see Unity working on improving performance, and the Unity 5.4 beta looks like it includes some pretty nice features to give improved performance.
