One missed from earlier this week with the onslaught of news - Mounts of Mayhem released for Minecraft as the latest major update for the popular sandbox game.

Open source rocks so it's pleasing to see it go well for Facepunch with s&box. They've now added native Linux binaries for the dedicated server and game client.

With the revival of Hytale ongoing towards an Early Access release in January, we now have it confirmed that it will be coming officially to Linux and macOS.

Hopefully making this excellent open source voxel game engine project more manageable, Luanti (formerly Minetest) has joined up with Open Collective Europe.

Mojang announced a big change is coming to Minecraft: Java Edition, one that could make it a whole lot easier to make mods and perhaps make them more exciting.

A nice surprise, Brick Rigs is another game that recently added Native Linux support and it's quite a popular choice along with it being highly rated.

SpaceCraft from Shiro Games is easily one of the most exciting looking upcoming games, but we're going to have to wait a bit longer to see it release.

Satisfactory recently had a fresh experimental Beta for testing, which includes improvements to how it works on Valve's Steam Deck.

Luanti (formerly Minetest) has a fresh small release out with v5.14 bringing a couple of gameplay tweaks and various other improvements.

Minecraft Live has again come and gone (twice a year now), so here's just some of what's coming to the popular open-world game with major updates planned.

From developer Kenney (who makes lots of assets for game developers), MakeRoom is a cute sandbox building game all about building rooms to look sweet.

VoxeLibre is a great free and open source sandbox game, a Minecraft-like built on top of the Luanti (Minetest) game engine and a big new release v0.90 is out.

Valve have given special permission to Garry's Mod from Facepunch to include a whole bunch of extra content for the popular physics sandbox.

Roblox? LEGO? Who needs it. I'm all about Brickadia life now it's out in Early Access.

The Diplomacy Update for X4: Foundations is now in Beta bringing some huge new features to the popular space sim.

Mojang have given an update on the upcoming Vibrant Visuals update, that brings many visual enhancements to Minecraft.

We're getting a full modern POSTAL 2 remake with POSTAL 2 Redux being announced today.

Brickadia has been an interesting project to follow, that combines some elements of Roblox with powerful creation systems along with an LEGO styled building system to create all sorts of things.

Luanti (formerly named Minetest) has a big new release out with v5.12 bringing SDL2 for the Window and Input Handling along with numerous other big additions. This release has been years in the making for the switch to modern SDL2, away from the very outdated Irrlicht.

A game that finally made me think a Spider could be adorable? Nah, they still terrify me, but A Webbing Journey really is wholesome. Great idea for a game too with some fun physics and web-slinging.
