The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise releasing August 4 for Linux PC
15 Jul 2020 at 12:44 pm UTC

So roughly the same price as buying all 12 basic tribes on the mobile version. I can live with that.

Pity they haven't done anything with the tech tree. It gets kind of stale after a few games, particularly since every tribe uses the same progression.

Unique puzzle-adventure 'OneShot' now has a Linux build on itch
8 Jul 2020 at 6:48 pm UTC

It won't install from the client for me (on up to date Ubuntu-MATE). I assume it's the same appimage issue.

That's more than a few days! Good work on creating a great resource for the community.

Papercraft styled tactical RPG 'Wildermyth' adds Legacy campaigns
30 Jun 2020 at 12:39 pm UTC

So I get to put characters in a Legacy pool and recruit them for Legacy campaigns. That's all well and good, but I still don't know what a Legacy campaign even is, and how it's different from a regular campaign. Could you illuminate?

Bounty Battle the 'ultimate indie fighting game' releasing July 23
30 Jun 2020 at 12:37 pm UTC

Hoary old Guacamelee is in there, no surprise. They seem to get in on every indie crossover. Which makes the absence of Shovel Knight, who was appearing everywhere for a while, all the more surprising.

Celestial Command adds 3D space physics and a new battle mode

The more you zoom in, the more the cruisers look like the deck of a container ship.

Colony building sim 'Maia' has a huge free update with more world simulation
27 Jun 2020 at 12:28 pm UTC

Maia was on the second "Early Access" (not even sure it was called that at the time) title I ever backed, and I was quite excited about its development. But as time went on and problems with the early build persisted right up to release (like colonists not prioritizing) I grew disenchanted with the whole thing so much that I didn't even play it when it released.

Maybe this will bring me back to give it another try.

The itch.io charity bundle hits over $6 million and ends soon

Just want to say I like Trawl. The typewriter mechanic brings out the poetic muse in me, in much the same way The Things We Lost In the Flood [External Link] does.

Also I found three items before my radio inexplicably exploded.

Morrowind lives on with a major new OpenMW release out
15 Jun 2020 at 5:00 pm UTC Likes: 1

So I'm curious, as someone who's not really familiar with the OpenMW project. Is the goal here to make an engine that recreates the original Morrowind, or one that's actually an improvement on it in a kind of "Morrowind, but better" sense?

itch.io has a huge bundle going to support 'Racial Justice and Equality'
15 Jun 2020 at 3:11 pm UTC

Okay, this is very strange. I installed libcrypto.so.1.0.0 a few days back in order to get several games in the bundle to work. Obviously it's there because first of all those games wouldn't work without it, and second, I'm literally looking at it in my file browser right now.

However, The Aquatic Adventures Of the Last Human won't work because it claims the library *doesn't* exist. Which is clearly incorrect. And yes, it's the 32-bit version.
