River Town is an interesting Kickstarter that the developers sent our way. It's a stort-driven farming RPG that will support Linux.

Universe Edge is a single-player spaceship-building game that just looks fantastic, we could be onto a real winner for sci-fi fans.

Wasteland 2 the post-apocalyptic RPG has so far been absent from Linux gamers shelves, that will end soon.

Here we are again! Your favourite fortnightly-ish crowdfunding-related column is back with our recommendations about where to put your hard-earned money in order to help make games.

Moebius: Empire Rising from Jane Jensen will not see a Linux release when it has the official release this April, despite hitting well over the Linux funding goal.

Balrum is the brilliant looking 2D RPG that just scraped through Kickstarter in August of last year, they have now released the beta build and it works on Linux.

DUELYST is the awesome looking tactical combat games where the developers originally wheren't going to support Linux, until we showed our numbers. Now the Linux goal has been met, I asked when Linux is likely to come.

Contagion a co-op survival horror FPS game that got kickstarted in October last year, it had Linux & Mac at a stretch-goal that was hit, but they have still been delayed.

Game Develop is an interesting bit of kit, as it's like GameMaker, Clickteam's Fusion and Scirra's Construct 2 in the way of letting you create games without programming. They need funding to make their Ubuntu support better.

Dead Mans's Trail is a pretty fun looking zombie survival & travel game in the spirit of Organ Trail, with plenty of differences to keep you interested.

Chaos Reborn is the newest major Kickstarter to pop up, from one developer I highly respect for creating the original X-COM strategy game.

Previously DUELYST wasn't going to include Linux support at all, now the developers have stated it will be in their first stretch goal due to "overwhelming demand", so I dug deeper.

Hyper Light Drifter is the fantastic looking 2D action RPG that got funded via Kickstarter, in the announcement of it coming to Playstation devices as well as Linux there is some great new footage.

Among the Sleep is a first person horror adventure, in which you play a two year old child. The new trailer is simply amazing.

Time to get excited again folks, Satellite Reign the crowdfunded real-time class-based strategy game that is from the creator of Syndicate Wars has shown off some footage!

Good news everyone! The UnEarth Initiative have done their Linux testing and they have announced via carrier pidgeon that they will infact be able to offer Linux support without a stretch goal on their campaign, hooray!

Another fortnight has gone by, and The Funding Crowd is back to put you up to speed with the latest movements in the crowdfunding scene.

Proven Lands is a game I have been following for some-time, it has finally come to Kickstarter with Linux support as standard. Proven Lands is a beautiful science-fiction sandbox roguelike, procedurally generated and studded with an AI storyteller.

This is a sore spot for any Linux gamer who backed 7 Days To Die on Kickstarter, months on end after the Kickstarter has finished, and still no Linux version in sight.

A new game jam is about to start named "Procedural Death Jam" that is aimed at giving OpenGameArt some needed exposure, and to get the term Procedural Death Labyrinth some exposure too.
