Tomorrow at 11AM UTC I will be facing off against Matt from Feral Interactive for the second time at Company of Heroes 2, will he beat me this time? Who knows, but I'm going to have fun and livestream it anyway!
Great news FPS fans! Arma 3 will see an update on the Linux port to version 1.54 tomorrow! Not quite the current version, but it's a step closer and there's more good news.
American Truck Simulator arrived on Linux day one which is fantastic, and I was eventually sent over a key by SCS directly to check it out.
It's always a shame to hear about scammers, especially when it comes to indie developers and smaller stores. IndieGameStand has written a blog post about it and it doesn't paint a pretty picture.
Chris Roberts has done his usual video update on Star Citizen, and he mentions that they are looking into Vulkan.
For those not keeping track: SteamOS was recently updated to include the changes from the recent 2.64 beta and it brings Vulkan for Nvidia amongst other changes.
I totally didn't forget to write about this. CrossCode is a rather intriguing RPG that has a style from the SNES era with obvious improvements.
I've somewhat followed the RPG Maker program over the years to see it evolve into a tool some decent games have been made from, and now it looks like RPG Maker MV will come to Linux.
What a day to be a Linux gamers! DiRT Rally is also now showing signs that it will be ported to Linux. Another great racing game I have wanted to play, and our first proper Rally game.
Another game I have really wanted to play, but didn't think it would come to Linux. Life Is Strange is a well reviewed story game based on based choice and consequence.
Wow this I did not expect. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and the expansions are showing signs that they will come over to Linux & SteamOS!
I had the pleasure of speaking with another developer today about their Linux sales, and this time it was Lurler from AtomicTorch Studio.
I was pretty impressed with StarDrive 2 and how it felt like a new generation of Master of Orion 2, so it's great to see it will get an expansion. Check out the video.
I've been looking forward to trying out Balrum since seeing it on a crowdfunding site some time ago, and now it has had a day-1 release on Linux I got a chance to play with it.
After researching it properly, talking to friends and family who have given their support I have decided based on feedback to launch my own personal Patreon campaign to fund me and the GamingOnLinux website.
Police Infinity claims it isn't "yet another Unity FPS" and it has my hopes up a little bit. It doesn't look too bad, and the animations in first person look quite nice too. It's due to enter Early Access soon.
I asked on twitter for developers to get in touch about their games, and first up is Quest of Dungeons from Upfall Studios. A turn based dungeon crawler game featuring a good old 16-bit retro artistic look.
Our friends over at Virtual Programming are hard at work on porting Overlord, Overlord II and Overlord: Raising Hell to Linux. They left a funny little message for us on SteamDB too.
This time around I am taking a look at a game I picked up some time ago for a Friday Livestream simply because it was cheap. So, let's go to Mars in Sol 0: Mars Colonization!
The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out, and as usual some websites are claiming the death of SteamOS. We are here with a better outlook. We also just recently crossed over 1900 Linux games on Steam!
