The developer of 'Super Indie Karts' is planning on a Linux build for this retro racer
7 Jan 2018 at 6:48 am UTC

I've had an eye on this one for a long time. I am very excited at the prospects. If anyone wants to jump on over to the thread and cheer the dev on that'd be great -- I can't wait to make this a staple of my gaming.

Steam hits another record of over 18.5 million concurrent users online

Is there a way the distros can mod the steam package and include a way for us to track which % of that is Linux perhaps? That would be amazing.

The Talos Principle going Fusion, Croteam dropping OpenGL & Serious Sam 4 still coming

I have touched bases with them many times requesting 16 Player Serious Sam LAN.

I wonder if they will be baking that up? I would die to party playing Serious Sam 4 on 4 TV's with 16 friends in my house. That would be seri0usly killer.

Sci-fi first-person exploration game 'The Station' launch delayed, Linux at release confirmed

Looks like System Shock 2 but in High Res -- if it play is fun it might make it into my "Top 20" (I'm reading the description and I'm unsure if a Exploration will yield the same gratification of traditional Adventure/FPS/Puzzle games like Zelda, Metroid, SS2, etc... but if it is I'll be down)

Steam Machines represesnt a target for game developers who want to target Linux but don't want to support 1,500 variations.

User: Yo, your game has this weird Issue on DistrobuntuArchCinaMintBang!!!!

Developer: Ahhh, too many targets!!!

With SteamOS -- 1 Target.

And as many have stated years ago we think Valve is counting on long term organic growth -- The game count is at 4,000+, open source drivers are in a much better state and hardware costs for AMD Vega APU will sink the manufacturing costs of Steam Machines thus we could see one that isn't a fireplace melting all the parts in the box.

I hope Valve has some stuff rolled up for E3.

I'd be happy if I could get a Steam Machine case that wont fry my GPU from immense heat issues.
Honestly even a official case from Valve would be a sweet buy for builders.

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: GuestI tried to submit a FOSS game, but it's license (Apache) is missing from the list.
Added Apache as a license option.
Quoting: ElectricPrismLISA had a great soundtrack (I'm not sure if the criteria means the game has to have been released in the last year though)
The categories and descriptions should all explain it, LISA does not count, it was released in 2014.
I suggest increasing the visability of that note and displaying it on the main page prominently.
