I've worked over the last few days in my coding cave to bring a new feature, a release calendar for Linux games!

It's sad, but not entirely unexpected that we will be left waiting for Trine 3. We did have to wait for ports of Trine and Trine 2, but when our editor Cheeseness spoke to Frozenbyte it sounded like the Linux version would be out during Early Access.

You might not remember, but we had the Publisher of Two Worlds II confirm to us multiple times that Two Worlds II would come to Linux, and then things got confusing, but now one of the actual developers has confirmed it will happen.

It looks like Evolve will be coming to Linux sooner rather than later, thanks to more goodness from the SteamDB resource.

Another month gone, and another Steam Hardware Survey to take a look at. This month we have an unfortunate drop in numbers.

The highly anticipated GOG Galaxy client has arrived for Windows & Mac in beta form, but sadly not for Linux yet. They do mention we will get it "eventually" though.

I imagine this is going to upset a lot of people waiting on the promised port of Divinity: Original Sin. Larian Studios are working on a new game.

I do a fair few articles covering Linux sales statistics with lots of different developers, and today is the day for Among the Sleep from Krillbite.

Tune in for another issue of The Funding Crowd, where we once again take a look at what's shaking in the Linux crowdfunding space.

The Arma developers have confirmed that an external team is working on the Linux version, and that it won’t be native.

Double Fine's Broken Age is now released. GOL editors Flesk and Cheeseness sit down to share their thoughts on the game, on being backers, and on being a part of the Double Fine community.

Not every experiment of Valve's will work, and this time it's paid mods that are being killed off. They will be refunding everyone too.

In an attempt to cool things down, Gabe Newell of Valve took to reddit to answer questions and concerns from people. I throw some opinions in too.

First off, let me start by stating that the main reason I felt the need to write this review, is I have yet to run into a thorough review of a gaming mouse from a Linux user, let alone a Linux gamer. And since this is my first gaming mouse (on any OS), it felt like only a natural progression to share this experience with fellow Linux gamers.

Will these joke simulator games ever end? Who honestly is going to buy Tea Party Simulator 2015? Goat Simulator was funny, but this...

In a move that is not even remotely surprising to me, Valve has started rolling out the ability for mod authors to sell their works.

In the comments of our recent Dying Light article, a video was posted showing two Techland developers talking about their porting of Dying Light to Linux. It’s quite interesting.

Jonathan Blow, developer of the hit game Braid has mentioned during one of his coding videos if he will bring 'The Witness' to Linux or not. The answer isn't too great right now, but the future is brighter.

You would hopefully have seen my previous articles talking to multiple developers about their Linux sales, so to begin a new year we are talking to a few more about their sales.

Another bit of annoyance for Dying Light fans. Techland have release an update for Dying Light adding in workshop support for mods, and the mod tools to go along with it. The kicker is that it all needs Windows.
