Everyone playing ARK: Survival Evolved on Linux can calm down now, as BattlEye now supports Linux and it's already live.

Sorry for the lateness, but GPUOpen from AMD is now officially open to the public. I really like the way AMD is going doing things like this.

This is pretty awesome news, a very promising HTML5 development environment for 2D & 3D games has become open source!

Eyes up developers! The Unity Game Engine has been updated for Linux, and it's now built upon the newer Unity 5.3.1.

Explicitly dedicated to our holiday season game making enjoyment, a new build of the Unity editor for Linux has been released. It is updated to Unity version 5.3.0f4.

Khronos has given an official update on Vulkan, there's good news, and there's bad news. The year-end target release date for Vulkan will not be met. However, they are in the home stretch and the release of Vulkan 1.0 is imminent!

AMD are stepping up their open source game again, as they have announced GPUOpen to rival Nvidia's GameWorks.

I am very hopeful for Vulkan, and the future of it seems bright with lots of people already working with it. Another company named Basemark announced last month they will be release a commercial benchmarking tool for Vulkan.

The Unity Editor has now been updated against Unity 5.2.2f1, which fixes a number of issues and should make life on Linux that bit easier for Unity developers.

It has arrived folks! The Unity editor for Linux is now available in an experimental build, and I can't wait to see what Linux developers do with it.

You can add Torque 3D into the list of game engines that support Linux, it's not 100% finished, but it's good to see them do it.

It was heavily requested, and a Unity developer has written a blog post giving us a lot more insight into what’s going on.

Multiplatform VR support, procedural foliage systems and plugins from select partners are among the changes.

After half a year of work, Godot, the most advanced open source self-contained game development environment reached version 1.1.

Nvidia has now put up the PhysX SDK on github for everyone to sink their teeth into, like with Unreal Engine it does require you agree to their EULA though, so it's not "free software".

Valve have been extremely busy, and we are already seeing some fruits of their work. They have written a Vulkan driver for an Intel GPU, showed Source 2 with Dota 2 on it, and they will open source the driver.

It has been officially announced now, so Vulkan API it is! We are entering a new era of graphical performance.

Today became a pretty good day to be a developer! Unreal Engine has dropped the monthly subscription, so anyone can jump in and tinker!

It seems a recent trademark request from 'The Khronos Group Inc.' includes a new API named ‘VULKAN’.

I love the idea of game creation tools that require no programming knowledge, as they enable hobbyists to have fun, quick prototyping and much more. Construct 2 is one of the finest around, and the developers have laid out plans for Construct 3.
