I was given a copy a few days ago, but I haven't actually played it yet. Might give it a go. (I'm Nezchan on Steam)

Check out 'The Linux Gamer' video on Undertale, brilliant as always

Not so much "stress inducing" bullet hell so much as "frustration inducing" since the game doesn't recognize my 360 controller and I'm thus stuck with the direction keys.

Kentucky Route Zero Act IV now Available
22 Jul 2016 at 2:38 am UTC

I loved Acts I and II, but I honestly can't remember anything that happened in III except the song. There are probably a lot of details throughout that I've forgotten as well. I don't know if I can drive myself to play IV until the last act comes out, knowing it'll probably be minimum a year before then.

Pleasantly surprised it didn't turn out to be vaporware in the end though.

TynanSylvester, creator of RimWorld comments on Linux
20 Jul 2016 at 1:46 pm UTC

Quoting: PicoboomComments like these boost my spirits far more than any single dev complaining about how "hard" or "complicated" it is for them to release a Linux version of a game. I just want to point to people like TynanSylvester and say, "See? He didn't have a problem creating a port! What's your excuse?"
I point at Undertale. Once Toby finally decided to make Linux a priority, it only took a few days. And that's one dev who isn't even a programmer.

Lovely Planet Arcade, the sequel to Lovely Planet FPS and runner, releases next week plus free keys

Got one of the keys for the original, but the game doesn't run. I get the "Preparing to launch" window, which then immediately vanishes without actually launching. Pity.

Colony building sim Maia updated, colonists can now get sick and need treatment

I've had this for quite some time, and have given it a try here and there during development. For now, I'm waiting until it's complete, or at least a lot closer to complete, before giving it another shot. The game does have "good bones" though, and the concept is sound.

Developer of 'Undertale' will apparently have another go at making a Linux port
11 Jul 2016 at 2:46 pm UTC

Getting someone else involved is really what he should have done to start with. Not to mention actually communicating with the public. If nothing's happening, you actually tell people that there's nothing going on, that's basic.

I removed Undertale from my wishlist not long ago because I'd totally lost trust in ever seeing a port, and it's not going back on just from this "announcement".

Oxenfree, an adventure game with supernatural elements, available on Linux

Quoting: blukpunJust like 'GamingOnLinux' don't believe in crowdfunding projects (if i'm correct), i just can't believe in amd anymore.
Eh? The site regularly promotes crowdfunded projects. They just encouraged people to contribute to a kickstarter yesterday, in fact.

It's pre-ordering that they tend to be highly critical of.

Oxenfree, an adventure game with supernatural elements, available on Linux

I'm mostly interested in the game because the sound design was done by the composer of the wonderful Time's End [External Link] remix of Majora's Mask. Apparently they're involved with the MM fan film as well.

Transmissions Element 120, a stand-alone game set in the Half-Life universe is now on Steam for Linux
16 Jun 2016 at 1:30 pm UTC

I'll have to give it a miss, sadly. Something about the Half-Life series that really sets off my simulation sickness, even when set at 90 FoV. Which is weird, because almost every other game is fine for me at that setting.
