Recently Wine 2.0-rc1 has been released as the next step towards another major stable release of Wine. Additionally, the Wine developers have talked about ongoing Direct3D 11 development and getting Overwatch to work.
2016 has been an absolute knockout year for Linux gaming, let’s have a little talk about what we have achieved.
Croteam have updated The Talos Principle today to move the last beta build over to the stable release.
Parkitect is a really damn cute theme park building game currently in Early Access, the developers have recently release another content update.
The classic strategy game Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries was updated this year to include a few nifty features.
If you have purchased anything from Games Republic, you may want to ensure you have grabbed all your keys as they are shutting down.
The developer of Super Rad Raygun sent in a key for me to check out their retro-inspired action platformer.
Valve have announced a massive 7.00 update for Dota 2 which changes the entire way the game works, and it sounds very interesting.
You may not remember Astroneer, as I covered it late last year as a possible game coming to Linux. The developers have since been back in contact with me to confirm a Linux version is coming.
Don't adjust your screens, as you did read that correctly. Over 1,000 games have released on Steam this year alone with Linux support. Also, yes, that homepage image is a case of me wondering how many gimp effects I can squeeze into one image.
It's Friday, apparently I managed to sleep all day due to exhaustion, but I have been quickly catching up on my inbox and tonight's livestream will go ahead at 8PM UTC as normal!
BUTCHER, the gory and totally brutal 2D shooter that's really quite good has a free DLC which enables an easy mode.
Best Buds vs Bad Guys is another game that has sadly seen a delay of the Linux version. I'm a little sour here since I funded it on Kickstarter (broke my own rule there!).
OneShot, a pretty promising looking puzzle & adventure game was planned as a day-1 Linux release, but it's seen a delay.
This is quite an amazing little fix. Marek sent in a patch for Mesa that fixes a bug that has apparently been an issue for around 9 years.
Previously, Kingdom Come: Deliverance had an update where the developers said they weren't aiming for a same-day release for Linux. Now, they said to me directly the Linux version may not happen at all.
Ethan Lee sent out a teaser tweet earlier about Owlboy, as it seems he is porting it and wanted to get in first before it ends up popping up on SteamDB.
As expected (from the leak), AMD has pushed out AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 for Linux which includes FreeSync support along with support for a wider set of cards.
Sometimes I get sent really interesting things to cover and sometimes I get sent some really basic, terrible stuff. Porradaria Upgrade & Porradaria 2: Pagode of the Night are two that firmly sit in the terrible pile.
One Eyed Kutkh is one of the weirdest looking games I've seen recently! It's a point & click adventure game about an alien trying to get home.
