Congrats, Frank Drebin! :)

Quoting: SangreDeReptil7) And a third idea for a tournament: to create and submit a video review of any Linux game of your choice.

Or even a text review.

Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon is very good, and I regret not writing about it when it was released last year.

Quoting: dubigrasuHm, 64 hours to go and about 3000$ still missing to reach the goal.
Hope they'll make it.

Only $1500 now. Funding usually ramp up a bit during the last couple of days too, so I'm pretty sure they'll make it.

Ethan Lee posted a guide on packaging games for Linux recently where he recommended to ship SDL2 with games:

Glad to hear you liked the game too, Liam. :)

I think the goal is to guide signals from emitters to receivers by placing those "mirrors" in the right positions. I agree that it could be much clearer though. Reminds me a little of Micron, and I'm definitely intrigued.

Looks very interesting. The trailer doesn't give away much, but judging by the description, it sounds like it might be a bit similar to Ghost Trick on the Nintendo DS.

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: noinformationhereI liked Tiny & Big but the difficulty level was a bit uneven in parts.

I stopped playing at the first boss (or what looked like a boss), it was a too long and difficult fight. It’s too bad because otherwise the game was really good for an indie title.

I think that's where I stopped playing too. The part where you have to cross a long, partially collapsed bridge while Big continually throws huge boulders at you. I played it for a while, but it seemed to go on forever.

Thanks for the interview, BTRE and Eagre Games! :)

There are also a few other interesting campaigns on Kickstarter that might be of interest to Linux users:

Transmission [External Link] - exploration of an alien planet with puzzles, tactical combat and crafting.

Greedy Guns [External Link] - run 'n' gun metroidvania, which has a demo/open beta that I wrote about a while back.

Ilios: Betrayal of Gods [External Link] - Steampunk action platformer based on the Iliad and the Odyssey. The campaign is almost over though, and it's far from its target.

Kologeon [External Link] - action adventure with flying, exploration and RPG elements. The campaign has had a rough start, but it still has a fair shot at making it.
