A new cross platform strategy game that is seeking funds on Kickstarter and votes on Steam Greenlight.

As promised the System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo is now available on Linux due to demand for it and closing in on the Linux + Mac stretch goal.

2D action adventure Buck is on Kickstarter with a Linux demo, and so is dungeon crawler Wizard of Legend and fantasy LGBT VN Eldet. Plus more campaigns than you can shake a stick at.

Wizard of Legend is currently on Kickstarter and the great thing is that they built a demo game to show off, it has Linux support and it's pretty cool.

Best Buds vs Bad Guys was sent in by the developer and I'm actually shocked by how cool a project it is.

Morgondag, the developer of RymdResa has launched a new Kickstarter for their puzzle game set on an asteroid base. That sounds pretty cool, so come take a look. I also have confirmation about an existing Linux build, awesome.

I shot off a message to Nightdive Studios about their Linux plans for System Shock since Linux is a stretch goal. The reply doesn't fill me with confidence to pledge right now.

I'm never one to shy away from patting my fellow Linux users on the back, so here it is *pats*. Thanks to the Linux gaming community and our own contributor BTRE, ZED by Eagre Games has passed the funding goal on Kickstarter.

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.

Always nice to see games that promise Linux support get fully funded. Moonlighter is an Action RPG with shopkeeping elements and it has been over-funded.

I arranged an interview with Eagre to talk about ZED and their experiences with Linux and our community, including the decision to change support from a stretch goal to a base funding goal. ZED is an upcoming adventure puzzle game built with Unreal Engine 4 that’s currently on Kickstarter.

After 4 years of development, Indie Game Studio Boxelware launches Kickstarter for Avorion, a Space-Sim Sandbox Game for Windows and Linux. The game is planned to be available on Steam through the second half of 2016.

Nekro, a game funded on Kickstarter with $158,733 which isn't a small amount of money has been officially abandoned by one of the developers. Sadly though, the story isn't very simple.

The developers behind Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure sent word in that their comedy point 'n click game is now on Kickstarter. It has a Linux demo right now, so it's good to see a project that is able to deliver on Linux even this early on.

Consortium: The Tower looks like a pretty incredible FPS/RPG that is seeking funding (and it looks like it will easily hit it) on Fig. They are promising day-1 Linux & Mac support too using Unreal Engine 4. Although I do have concerns about their Linux plans. (Post updated)

I don't normally cover Kickstarters, but The Wild Eight not only looks like a decent survival game, the game is planned for Linux day-1 too.

EVERSPACE is an incredibly beautiful looking 3D space shooter that takes elements from roguelikes that was funded on Kickstarter. They smashed their funding goal, and it's heading to Linux now too.

The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizzaboy has been released! Read on to learn about its origins, its creation and its legacy.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a game built with CryEngine looked like it was going to be a fantastic game to have on Linux, but the developers have told me it "is not possible technically".

Good news for fans of six-degree-of-freedom-shooter games, as OVERLOAD has been officially funded on Kickstarter.
