Why does Dreamfall Chapters have two entries? Far as I know, only one game is released so far.

Space Colony Sim Maia Grows, New Version Out Today
27 Nov 2014 at 5:28 pm UTC

Wow, it's really ticking along. It looks so much better now than when I first bought it through Early Access, and Simon is clearly committed to making something great.

This and Crea are hands down the best things I've backed through Early Access.

New Blog Post On Porting Civilization: Beyond Earth From Aspyr Media

Apparently the Mac version is now out. So 2-3 weeks will easily get us the game before the holidays.

Although how GameAgent is handling the pre-ordered codes is kinda weird. I ordered the Linux one, but they're telling me the code is available now. I assume it's the same for both.

Legend Of Grimrock 2 On Linux Is Uncertain

I love Grimrock, and will buy the sequel if and only if it's released on Linux. I would seriously love to play this game, but unless they step up that's unfortunately not happening.

Divinity: Original Sin Delayed For Linux, Again

Well, this goes on the "maybe eventually" pile with Banished, The Banner Saga and Legend of Grimrock 2, I guess. None of them get my $$ until I can play it native.

At least for Civ:BE there's a good track record involved and good status reports so I don't mind pre-ordering.

Aspyr Media Updates On Civilization: Beyond Earth Linux Port Progress

I'll be honest, outside of the really small companies it's rare for me to see these sort of really frequent status updates. I wish we could get this sort of thing more often.

Adventure RPG Short 'A Bird Story' Out Now
9 Nov 2014 at 8:05 pm UTC

The above cynicism notwithstanding, I loved the first game and thought that it earned every emotional response it got through a fascinating journey through the subject's life.

However, I wouldn't go into A Bird Story expecting one for the ages like To The Moon. It's short, it's simple, it's pretty charming, and if that's your expectation going in it will be met. What really impresses me are the ways dream, imagination and reality blend so well with the graphical style the devs have chosen. Transitions from one scene to the next are really amazing in their own right, and you can tell the team is really learning to use the tile-based concept to their advantage in ways I can't recall seeing before.

It's really got me looking forward to the next full game.

Nice! Now if we can get Anodyne to run without the accursed Air, I'll be happy.

Transistor Available On Linux Now

Oh, lordy, this is a great day! I can finally play the game I bought just before switching to Linux, yay!

Civilization: Beyond Earth Mac And Linux Dev Update

Quoting: STiATMy wallet at least is release ready :-)
You can pre-order at GameAgent.com and get an exoplanets map pack as well as $25% off. I'd say that's pretty worth it, even if there is a bit of a wait. From what I gather, buying on Steam on the Linux release date doesn't get you either bonus.
