Unity 5.5 has been released as a pretty major update to this popular game engine. One interesting bit for us is that games built with 5.5 onward will only have access to the modern OpenGL system.
In January 2017 it will be 4 years since a bug report was opened about Steam not closing to the tray on Linux. On Windows it works perfectly, but on Linux it has been left to gather dust like so many other issues.
Darksiders was supposed to come out for Linux a long time ago and never happened. The developers haven't forgotten about it, but it seems the issues are proving difficult to fix and they have been busy.
GOG are going all mysterious on us, with their Twitter account simply popping out a big teaser image for December 1st. Time to get our thinking hats on.
Tower Unite is an interesting MMO, it's a community-based virtual world full of other games to play online. An interesting concept, sounds a bit like Second Life to me.
The enhanced remake of this indie game will be getting a Linux release on launch. Players will be able to explore a mysterious world where their actions have consequences and multiple endings abound.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the popular FPS from Valve has another update with one rather interesting feature. You can now join game lobbies made by members of Steam groups you belong to.
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!
I can't help but love all the work itch are doing, especially since they have one of the nicest game clients available. They have just pushed out yet another major update.
I think this title has a lot of potential, because after a successful Kickstarter campaign the developers claim they were funded by Nordic Games without sacrificing the creative control of the project, so basically the quality of the game now simply relies on how talented they are and how well they spend the budget on the game.
I am keeping an ever watchful eye over Maia hoping that it eventually gets polished up enough to be something great. This new update sure does sound nice, but sadly the game still lacks a lot of polish.
If you're looking to play an adventure game but you don't have a lot of time, then you may be interested to check "Sisyphus Reborn", a lightweight (300 MB) and short existential adventure that will only take you 40 minutes to finish (and that includes getting all the achievements).
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.
