The developers of 'A Little Less Desperation' emailed in to let me know that their sci-fi comedy point & click game will be heading to Linux. It's currently on Kickstarter with a few days left and it's fully funded. It even has a demo!

This is really great news! The Station, one of those promising upcoming games I covered recently has not only been Greenlit, but they have hit their Kickstarter funding goal too.

Another interview! This time with the Creative Director on The Station, a very promising looking first-person sci-fi story exploration game that is currently on Kickstarter.

Daedalus is yet another space sci-fi game on Kickstarter that promises Linux support. The developer told me that Linux is for sure a release platform.

I am such a sucker when it comes to narrative games set in space, especially when they're damn good looking like 'The Station' is.

Jupiter Hell looks and sounds very exciting, especially since it will have full Linux support. It's from the same developer who made DoomRL. The developer told me Linux support will be in from the beginning.

I was seriously looking forward to getting some space combat action with 'EVERSPACE', but it's sounding like the developers are having major issues.

Space Jammers is a very cool roguelike shooter that currently has a free demo version available, and now it's on Kickstarter to finish the job.

Retracing the life of the protagonist, his choices and their consequences are central to this open world game. Life and death and philosophical quandaries are ever-present in Mortido.

Code 7 and Trackless explore two very different interpretations of what a "modern text adventure" could be, through graphics, audio and new spins on old styles of input.

Well if that headline didn't catch your attention I don't know what will. Sally Face is a dark adventure game about having a prosthetic face.

The 'SMACH Z' is a promising device and I'm quite excited to see how this all turns out, the promise of taking my Steam library easily on the go sounds fun.

This is really annoying. 'Through the Woods', a very promising psychological horror is no longer coming to Linux and was only announced two weeks before release due to platform-specific technology.

'AI War II' from Arcen Games is real and is currently in need of funds on Kickstarter, with Linux fully planned as a day-1 release.

Holy cow! Wasteland 3 is now on Fig looking for funding, and the good news is that it has almost reached it's goal!

I spoke with a developer of ANTRAXX a little while ago when they were considering full Linux support, now they have launched their Kickstarter for their online mech battler and Linux is a go.

In spite of the radio silence of late, there have been several interesting crowdfunding campaigns for Linux lately, including Dropsy creator Jay Tholen's Hypnospace Outlaw and the vibrant 3D point-and-click Woven.

Failbetter Games have announced their next game titled 'Sunless Skies' as the follow-on from 'Sunless Sea'. Linux will be supported.

InXile Entertainment have formally announced that Wasteland 3 is a thing and it will go to crowdfunding site Fig to secure development funding.

Redie is one indie game that I can’t wait to play when it’s fully released on November 2016. It was already Greenlit, but the developers still need support for the Kickstarter campaign. It currently has a lightweight demo (only 102 MB) that I absolutely recommend to try.
