They should call it SuperTux64 instead.

The original is great and this looks like a lovingly crafted modernization of that. I introduced my 4 year old to the DS remake last year and he really likes it too, so it will be interesting to hear about this project as it develops. Unfortunate that they only have a Facebook group though.

Quoting: subMusic by Gavin Harrison? The Porcupine Tree drummer?
I guess it's just a coincidence... (?) :)

Yeah, I couldn't find any mentions of Gunslugs on his website, so probably just a coincidence. ;)

I don't mind that we included everything this year, since it was our first GOTY Awards. In my opinion, the best solution next year will be to include only games that are made available for Linux in full. Meaning a game in Early Access (or some other form of unfinished state) is included the year it is considered complete by its developers, a game in chapters is included the year the last chapter is released and a game that was previously only available for other platforms is included the year it is made available for sale on Linux.

I'm happy 0 A.D. won the open source category, but I'm looking forward to the categories next year, since I think a high budget gem like The Talos Principle really deserved to win something. It has already gotten heaps of awards and nominations elsewhere though, so they can probably live with it.

Maybe an award for notable developers and publishers could be an idea too, to honor Linux friendly companies like Devolver Digital, Aspyr, Feral, Valve, Croteam, Double Fine and Arcen Games?

The only extra you get for pre-ordering is an HD wallpaper of concept art done for the remaster. It does look nice though and made me finally change from my Super Win the Game wallpaper that I've been using since September.

Really looking forward to this one! :) I prefer to have my games both DRM free and on Steam, but since Humble Store isn't an option yet, I might just pre-order it on GOG now and buy an additional copy on Steam on release. I figure with the amount of money I put into games I'm not remotely interested in last year to support Linux gaming, it won't hurt to pay a little extra now that a game I'm genuinely interested in comes along.

I still have my boxed copy too, but I haven't played the game for a while, so I've probably forgotten most of the puzzles. Except the signpost puzzle. I'll never forget that one...

Quoting: thelimeydragon

Quoting: fleskThe latest hint on the radar makes me think it's LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, as both the image of a (presumably) iron fist and the phrase "Scorched Earth" are Marvel references.

Problem with that is, the clue is for Linux and OS X and sadly LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is already out for OS X.

Yeah, I didn't realize that until after I'd written that yesterday. :( Could still be that there's upcoming DLC for the game that will be available for both Linux and OS X, but I think chances are slim, since, as far as I know, there hasn't been DLC for any of the previous LEGO games.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceSadly it doesn't appear that any store other than Steam carries the Linux version. It would be nice to have a DRM free version of the Linux edition.

They have submitted the Linux version to Humble Store, according to this post [External Link], so it should be available there [External Link] soon.

Another great free game without any form of micro-transactions is You Have to Win the Game, which is a metroidvania-esque precision platformer without combat.

Quoting: GuestWhere is Battleblock Theater? :C

No one nominated it. I forgot to add a couple too, like Costume Quest 2 and TRI: Of Friendship and Madness.
