A Linux version of the RPG 'Soul Saga' is currently in progress as it enters Early Access

Makes me think of Skies of Acadia, definitely one to keep an eye on.

Children of Morta still heading to Linux, developer Dead Mage confirms

I hope this is a case of "we built the game with cross-platform compatibility in mind, but we just need to optimise and squish some bugs with the Linux version before releasing it", and not a case of "we used all the Windows-only middleware from the start, and now we have to try and retroactively shoehorn Linux support into it"...

Especially since we know that scenario two invariably ends with "it's too hard to replace the Windows-only middleware, so we give up on Linux support".

Dunno if Prison Architect got an update, but it still doesn't launch at all unless I change the launch command to "./PrisonArchitect.x86_64 %command%"

Maybe make the closing date a Sunday next year so you get the weekend off :P

Some good games, tools and developers up there!

Perfect, thanks!

Might be worth keeping it there for a while after voting closes and winners are announced, so people can get to the results easily.

EDIT: this is probably covered by "open to the public". Ignore my noise. :P

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Unrelated to the on-going discussion, please could the GotY page be added to the Sections dropdown menu at the top of the website? I've seen that there's a notification about it, but it only seems to appear once every three or four page visits, and you can dismiss it, so there isn't an easy, consistent way of getting to the page*.

* You can search for the article and get the link that way, but that only seems to show up in the results if you explicitly search for "GOTY", and I can't seem to add "Game of the Year" or "Awards" to the tags (presumably because they aren't tags you've used before).

Huge new Dwarf Fortress release out with villains and interrogations - you can also pet animals

There's experimental memory mappings out for those apps that use them (notably Dwarf Therapist), get 'em here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=168411.msg8084369#msg8084369 [External Link]

Not tested them yet myself, but if you're at the size of fort where managing labours is becoming laborious, and can't wait for DT to release an update, they may be of use to you.

Yeah, there's no need for all that. Mouse support is there where it makes sense (i.e. to make it easy to draw things, which is awkward and time consuming to do with just keyboard). Adding mouse-driven menus and buttons would just slow things down and add nothing to the game. :|
