Tom Sparks and the Quakes of Ruin is a great looking 3D diesel-punk action-adventure game full of crazy weapons, exciting combat and exploration of mysterious underground worlds.

A mature, story-oriented adventure game with a unique style. Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. They've just announced Linux support as standard, rather than as a stretch goal as originally planned.

Cult County is an all-new first-person survival horror game that blends the episodic story-telling of The Walking Dead with the classic tension-filled exploration and action of Silent Hill and Resident Evil, presenting an opportunity for fans to help a veteran team produce a new experience that is fresh, exciting, and scary!

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.

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.
