Quoting: ertuquequeFantastic article! This is exactly what I wanted, a list of recommended games for itch.io... Please, keep these ones coming from time to time.

Fellow GOL writer flesk also maintains an Itco.io collection called Linux Gems [External Link], which might be of interest (I'm listed as a creator, but flesk has done all the work!)

Wow! Thanks for that list!

But IMHO it need to be a bit sorted, because it's so big.

Do you plan some sort of "favourites" inside the big list?

Cheers.

Thanks, that's actually a great idea. Unfortunately, it's not really possible to highlight games within a collection in any way, but I could create a separate Linux Gems Favorites collection, or something like that. I don't know if that's something I'll be able to manage on a regular basis though, since I don't have much time on my hands these days and managing the collections I already have got very time consuming, since the tools for managing large collections aren't very good. (GameJolt actually has much better tools for this, and I've actually started a Linux Gems "playlist" there too, but I haven't gotten very far with it.)

One problem with having a more curated collection though, is that it's bound to be biased towards genres I personally enjoy. I tried to avoid that with my Steam group by having several people recommend games, and I'd definitely love to get some help with this one too. If you're interested, just send me a message here or on Itch. (That goes for anyone else reading this as well.)

My son used to like these kinds of games, but even on Android, most of them were pretty bad. This one looks very good though, with both free painting, coloring and color fill. Will definitely keep it in mind in case my daughter gets interested in something like it.

Quoting: 2redge2so bad it doesn't support french, my 7 old daughter love gaming on my desktop.
later maybe... :(

I got this game a while back to play it with my kids (and also to help sort out a Linux issue). I kind of forgot about it, so I haven't actually played it with them, but I think it should be possible to simultaneously interpret the game for your daughter, since there really isn't a whole lot of narration; just a sentence or two every now and then talking about the seasons and giving you a clue about what to do. My kids aren't native speakers of English either, so that was my plan anyway.

Thanks for highlighting these issues again. :)

I'm at 30–35 of 93 successfully funded games that have been delivered. (A bit uncertain since a few are episodic and only partially delivered.) Another 5–10 should be coming out within the next half a year. I've worked on enough (non-creative) projects in my own career that have gone months or years past their original deadline for various reasons, so for me that's not surprising or anything to worry about, but I respect that not everyone's the same.

Look, we just want to know: If we pay one dollar for Fusion 2.5 now, do we get this new premium product as a free upgrade!? :huh: ;)

I was almost certain I'd written about this game back in June, but no. It's very enjoyable, but gets difficult fast. Should be a great one for fans of challenging platformers with a fun twist.

I've had an eye on Owlboy for years, and I'm very happy that it looks like it'll come to Linux. Flibitijibibo tweeted [External Link] about it a couple of weeks ago too.

It's not LEGO. :/

Ok, I understand. :) I hadn't been paying attention, so it could have been delayed for all I knew.
