Slitherine game store and publisher has announced improved cross platform support. Until now, Pandora: First Contact was only available to Linux gamers as a download and you had to buy the version separate from the Windows and Mac version.
One year after Linux fans came together to show support, Toki Tori 2 has finally arrived for Linux! Two Tribes, however, has recently emerged from financial troubles as a new company - where does Linux support fit for them now?
I reached out to a number of developers to see how their sales are doing across different operating systems, here are the results for you.
I don't usually point out developers blog posts unless they say something interesting, luckily the developer of Democracy 3, Gratuitous Space Battles, Redshirt & more has said something I bet a lot of developers now feel.
The Leadwerks game creation tool has pushed passed two major Linux issues the developers came across making way for the Linux release. Good news everyone!
So Steam Dev Days is off again and we are here again to bring you the highlights from afar in lonely UK.
Well Steam Dev Days has kicked off in style and we have a little bit of the lowdown here for you, keep an eye on this post as I will keep updating it to keep everyone in the loop as much as I can!
Earlier today, Owlchemy Labs and Dejobaan Games released an update for AaaaaaaaAAAAaAAaaaaAA!!! For the Awesome, which adds the Rift friendly "Aaaaaculus" version on Linux!
Steam Developer Days is only 2 days away now folks and the list of talks is getting rather large, time to get excited.
Lauri Kasanen wrote into Phoronix to request help in gathering information on the r600g open source AMD graphics driver.
The Funding Crowd is back in 2014 with the best and the finest crowdfunding campaigns on which you can spend whatever you've got left after the holidays.
The venerable Phoronix has reported that SteamOS has been updated to include a preview driver from AMD to fix issues and hopefully lay the ground work for a more stable driver.
So to keep the theme going of not directly new/up-coming gaming news after the Black Annex developer stated how easy it is to support Linux, the developer of Maia has openly stated that Linux has sold far more than Mac for him.
This post may be a bit technical for some people, it sure as hell is for me, but I found it interesting due to how it impacted the Linux port of Black Annex.
Valve and an assortment of different companies have revealed their Steam Machines from console price-point to stupidly powerful gaming computers.
This is going to be crazy, so far it has been reported that Valve has already signed up 12 manufacturers to create Steam Machines, holy cow!
A game engine similair to Unity called Godot is going to be open sourced under an MIT license, this tool looks seriously promising.
It seems a big name PC site has claimed that Kickstarter and Early Access are ruining PC gaming, well I personally beg to differ I think it's growing PC gaming faster & better than ever.
Here is the latest instalment of Steam's Hardware Survey, as usual we do our monthly thing and compare it and talk about it and make sure you know not to use it as a hard figure.
Wishing you all a great new year, let us hope 2014 brings us some awesome games (we know it will!) and plenty of Steam Machines running SteamOS!
