Looks like there will be another great game for launch of the Steam on Linux [URL='https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=434466463243506&set=a.434466459910173.92434.191676850855803&type=1']Serious Sam 3: BFE - running on Linux![/URL]

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 4961, member: 93"ooh i am proven wrong :) now lets hope that eventhough they develop on ubuntu there will be none .deb releases

I hope that it will be distributed in .tar archive just like Desura. That way I can install it wherever I want and then move into another partition if needed. I don't like games packaged in .deb installing to system directories. Games should be put in their own places.

We can also expect [URL='http://store.steampowered.com/app/107800/?snr=1_7_suggest__13']Rochard[/URL] on Linux.

I've asked developers in the [URL='http://www.rochardthegame.com/en/support/#comment-1251']support site[/URL] will they make a port know that Unity 4 offers this option and in return I was pointed at [URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=DUKh8pyCFDY#t=108s']Unity 4 - Linux Export[/URL]. In that video you can see Na'tosha Bard testing Rochard on Ubuntu.

The Kickstarter campaigns have a boost on the pledges at the beginning and end so it's still possible that they succeed.

They have much more to show than concept art and yet they struggle so much to achieve that low level of pledges. I don't know why but I suspect that people think it will be generic and uninteresting RPG. I think that atleast looking at the environments it has nice design. This is also one of the most impressive games made in Unity game engine.

I don't know if you are aware that [URL='http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiddenpath/defense-grid-2']Defense Grid 2[/URL] is on Kickstarter and if developers reach $750 000
there will be Linux and Mac versions. Hidden Path set quite a steep financial requirement and it seems unlikely to get that amount of pledges.

If somebody didn't make it to the Kickstarter than it's still possible to pledge through [URL='http://pinkertonroad.com/join-csg/']PayPal[/URL] up until 25th May 2012.

It's already on Desura but somehow doesn't show in list of games for Linux. Type Achron in the search box of Desura and it will show.

Instead of installing this crap links to websites you could try a real game in NaCl. This game comes from other big publisher Ubisoft. The game is called From Dust and you need atleast Chrome 19 (currently in Beta stage) to play it. This version is marked as Beta and the system requirements are quiet beefy (Quad Core processor).

You can install it either from Chrome Web Store or by going to this [URL='http://from-dust.ubisoft.com/']address[/URL]. You can try it for free (no saving) and the full version costs $9,99. The sound was very bad with PulseAudio but on Open Sound System it's much better and I think the same will be with pure ALSA (movie sequences still have pretty bad sound).

Did they state that somewhere where you could point us at. I didn't notice it myself.

They have almost $40,000 now and still 14 days to the end of the Kickstarter campaign. I really hope for the $100,000 but current trending atleast by looking at the [URL='http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1684781151/legends-of-eisenwald/']Kicktraq[/URL] stats suggest $72,000.

Aterdux Entertainment is a developer from Belarus located in capital city Minsk. I thought that only Americans can create a Kickstarter projects.

I'm also playing Legend of Grimrock via Wine (1.5.2) and the only thing I needed to do to get it working is this:

winetricks xact_jun2010 d3dx9_36

in clean Wineprefix (it's important) than just unpack install.exe from the zip archive and install the game. It works very good aside from sound problems with OSSv4 (Open Sound System) in Wine. I ran it on max graphicall settings (with SSAO set to high) in 1920x1080 fullscreen and I get constant framerate above 30 and if I set SSAO to disabled it goes as high as 60 fps.

My specs:
Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-19-generic i686
Distro: Ubuntu 11.10
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
2 cores/threads
2300.00 MHz
RAM: 1.96 GiB
GPU: GeForce 9600 GT/PCIe/SSE2/3DNOW!
OpenGL 3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.20
GLSL 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

This is the first stable release of Arx Libertatis and the developers have [URL='http://arx.parpg.net/Mission_statement']plans[/URL] for future milestones, for example a Qt-based modern game editor and support for modern shaders.
