Submission phase for the first ever GOL Game Jam has ended and now begins the rating phase. You can now head on over to the jam page and check out all the entries and rate them based on a couple of simple metrics.
People say we don't cover enough open source, well here's a good one for you. Endless Sky is something I've only recently discovered, and I sort of fell in love with it.
Play as a special ops combat unit sent to investigate why the stars around Solar System are going dark in MegaSphere. A gorgeous looking action platformer with story elements.
Shallow Space has me excited, as it could be our answer to a Homeworld-like game on Linux, but it's early days yet for it.
We mentioned that Murder Miners was on its way to Linux, and it has arrived already in beta form! I tested it out very quickly earlier, and it seems to run perfectly.
Pulse is an adventure game about a girl who lost her sight at an early age, and who is able to explore the world through sound.
Organ Trail: Director's Cut was a pretty cool game when I tried it a while ago, and it's great to see it has been updated again with a huge DLC.
We have been treated to some more retro gold here folks, as the Falcon games are now on Linux thanks to the team at GOG.
A fellow on the official Steam forum for Divinity: Original Sin has been commenting to Linux users criticising the delay, and it's an interesting read.
Yesterday I spent some time upgrading my main rig to Xubuntu 15.10. I did that because I heard of a PPA that contains Mesa drivers compiled against LLVM 3.8. What that means is that I can do GL4 on RadeonSI. And that's what we will do today!
Heads up gamers! System Shock: Enhanced Edition is coming to Linux, and the developer said on twitter it will be a native port.
All pre-orders should still be delivered on time, but if you order them from now you won't get your Steam Controller until December.
Descent: Underground has released into Early Access on Steam, and I took the punt and a look for you.
A recent Polygon article that covered Valve's new hardware has some information from Valve, and it's not entirely clear, but it looks like Just Cause 3 could come to Linux.
I forget that Natural Selection 2 is on Linux, mainly due to the dying player base and how dog slow it was to load, but it seems they are finally taking steps to improve that part of it.
Nuclear Throne is something of a dark horse, it doesn't look like much, but damn is it good when you get into it.
RC Mini Racers was originally available for an older version of Ubuntu in the USC, but there's a much newer version on Steam. The developer is seeing how much interest there is in having it on Steam.
Kingdom is an interesting looking 2D sidescrolling strategy/resource management game, and GOG provided a key for me to take a look.
Oh man, what a day. First Insurgency, and now Magicka 2 both being in Beta for Linux. Update: It's now downloading.
I have been waiting for Insurgency to come to Linux for over two years, and I'm glad to see the developers start to really make a push for us.
