The Funding crowd is here again, full of recommendations about new exciting crowdfunded games and a review of what happened to the projects we covered in our latest issue.

As we have reported before about Epic Games adding in Linux support for Unreal Engine 4.1+ it is now a reality. Unreal Engine 4.1 has been released!

Quest of Dungeons is a turn based dungeon crawler game featuring a good old 16-bit retro artistic look. I had a chance to not only test the game and video it for you, but to let you know the developer needs Linux testers.

We have to wait a little while longer to play Divinity: Original Sin folks as the developers have now confirmed Linux will see a release when it exits Early Access.

Exogenesis is hoping to win it big on Kickstarter. A PC adventure/visual novel hybrid inspired by Ace Attorney and Zero escape games set in post-apocalyptic Japan. It offers up a demo for you to try before you back it too.

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink is an adventure game in a steampunk world. The games visuals look fantastic and the story sounds great too!

Vangers was originally release in 1998 and it's now on Steam for Linux with a reworked edition. It has a complex story-line and is all-out weird.

For you extreme Baseball fans (is baseball mostly American?) Out of the Park Baseball 15 has been released on Steam for Linux promising you the ability to manage your dream team.

Project Cars is probably one of the best looking racing simulations that has ever been on the radar for Linux. They have announced the release of the game will start this November.

Citybound is an interesting sounding city-builder current in the early road towards an alpha version. We reported on it first a few weeks ago with an introduction, now it looks like it almost has some game-play.

Pixel Piracy is a game we have been following for some-time now, we first posted about it back in July of last year the day before my birthday in fact! It's changed a lot since then and is simply fantastic. We also have keys to give-away!

Planetary Annihilation is the crazy real time strategy game about planetary conquest on a massive scale. The game is thankfully native on Linux and has a new update to show off, it's all very social.

Valve has released the latest string of beta changes into the main client which fixes and ton of issues.

It seems like we are getting quite a few old gems nowadays, although this is most likely using Dosbox it's still nice to be able to have sales for it counted for Linux.

Today I took a look at Insanity's Blade a game Kickstarted at the end of last year. Insanity's Blade is a real retro-game in the sense that it feels like I'm playing on a Sega Megadrive.

It wins the award for the weirdest title of the day, Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game previously on mobiles is now on the desktop and it's looking just as odd.

So, if you are living under a rock let me remind you on something: Gearbox president Randy Pitchford stated he would talk to some people about a possibility of a Linux port for Borderlands 2. Sadly though as I expected from Randy it probably won't happen.

As a music lover and a fan of Tower Defence games this has me interested. Sentinel is an interactive audio tower defense game. It mixes strategic game play with a dynamic music system.

The SteamLUG (Steam Linux User Group) events calendar for May is up, featuring Nuclear Dawn, Frozen Synapse, Gear Up, Sanctum 2 and more!

Starsector previously known as Starfarer is a game I have been following since early 2011 and I am glad to say it's still being fully worked on. Starsector is an open-world single-player space-combat, roleplaying, exploration and economic game.
