Rust from Facepunch Studios (notable for Garry's Mod) should once again work on Linux thanks to some more Unity engine updates, I've tested it and it works for me.

I have often longed for a more adult orientated form of Pokemon, and to find the developer of Deity Quest reach out to me to take a look I was rather eager to get going.

Sage Fusion 2 is a recent discovery and after trying it out for a bit, I think you guys need too as well. It's a solid mix of story with anime styled characters, and Final Fantasy styled turn based battles.
