The Funding Crowd is back! After reviewing some of our favorite projects from last year, let's take a look at what 2015 has to offer so far.

The early 90s saw a lot of different game genres appear and mature. Games like Wolfenstein, Dune II, Civilization and Ultima Underworld made important contributions to gaming in general. Now, under a new studio, industry veterans responsible for Ultima Underworld have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a spiritual successor titled Underworld Ascendant.

The TFC team has devoted this post-holiday quiet period to looking back at some notable projects that were funded in 2014.

Under That Rain is a game about choices, and how these choices can affect even the purest spirit. In “Under that Rain” we are not proposing just an adventure, but an amazing and profound story that wants to investigate the human soul.

Fans of the previous Shadowrun games have flocked like mad sheep to the new Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter, and while writing it was funded.

The Dark Inside Me is a 2.5D unique 3rd person point & click psychological horror adventure game based on a dynamic scenario.

I found this pretty awesome arcade racing game while i was browsing through Kickstarter and i wanted to share it. I am glad to see another racing game coming to Linux, since our supply of racing games is a bit short. It is fully funded, and greenlit!

A new year often brings reflection and during this introspection, the teams behind two previously successfully funded Kickstarter projects apparently found that they're incapable of finishing their respective games.

Welcome to The 40th Funding Crowd! Yep, if it were a person, it would probably be struggling with its mid-life crisis. But since it isn't, it comes stronger than ever with an issue full of content.

Pocket Rumble is a fun looking 2D fighting game currently on Kickstarter that promises a Linux port if they hit a stretch goal, I know what you're thinking, but look past that for a minute.

The creators of the classic point-and-click adventure game Maniac Mansion, Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, have launched a campaign on Kickstarter to crowd-fund a spiritual successor to Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island.

Welcome to TFC#39! Back to a fortnightly schedule and that timing turned out to be super important! Why? Read this new issue if you want to find out.

Divinity: Original Sin has pushed back the Linux version once again, so you can give up on seeing it this year.

If you have ever felt the urge to break bad, this 2D resource management/strategy game may be relevant to your interests

Welcome to a much delayed and slightly shortened The Funding Crowd #38! We are back after a two-month hiatus with renewed energies and, what's most important, with a bigger team.

Red Thread Games, who recently released the first book of Dreamfall Chapters, received a grant from the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) this week to continue work on their upcoming horror folk tale game Draugen.

Animal Gods is top-down action adventure game now on Kickstarter inspired by classics from the 90's brought to the 21st century with full HD, dynamic lighting and high-res textures.

The Funding Crowd Needs You! New volunteers are required to keep this column going as the current team just can't.

In this article, I want to highlight three active Kickstarter projects, with some comments on why these developers are choosing to support Linux, as well as what they think about the OS.

Beyond Human is a Metroidvania Sci-Fi platformer inspired by Metroid, Megaman, and Devil May Cry. Over two weeks to go with everything to play for!
