Quoting: DrMcCoyNot sure I trust someone who can't even pronounce Jotun correctly ;)
Hehe, yeah. ;)

I was a bit on the fence but in the end I decided to back it despite Linux only being a stretch goal. I hope it doesn't turn out to be another one of those campaigns where the Linux version comes 6 months later if at all.

If anyone's interested Jotun [External Link] just reached its Linux stretch goal with 10 hours to go of the campaign.

Very nice article. :) I've played Serena and the two released chapters of Reversion. The former is very interesting both in how it manages to do so much with only a single room and because of the history behind its name.

Probably not on the top of your list but Norway is starting to get noticed on the indie scene lately with popular games like Teslagrad, Among the Sleep and Savant-Ascent out and Dreamfall: Chapters, Earthlock: Festival of Magic and Shiftlings in production. The company behind Shiftlings is also making Oliver & Spike: Dimension Jumpers, which looks awesome, but it's primarily intended for consoles and there hasn't been any word on Linux support yet.

That's awesome. :) I noticed that the number of games in my Linux library on Steam had increased yesterday, but I didn't see which game had been added. I've played through it on Windows before but I'll give the beta a whirl to see how it performs.

Quoting: fleskI'm not a native English speaker but I'll try to contribute an article every now and then if it can be of any help.
Improving English is something I can do, tracking down news is something I personally can not promise to be able to do - so even if you are not entirely confident in your writing just giving us a framework for an article can still be a huge help.
Thanks, I'll remember that the next time I feel tempted to write something. There's the announcement from Freebird Games that haven't been covered but that's old news by now.

I wish you all the best Liam. This page is a real asset to Linux gamers and even though I just recently created an account here to support it and you through Patreon I've enjoyed reading the articles on and off for a couple of years.

Cities Skylines, A City Builder Announced From Paradox & It's Coming To Linux

It's actually a bit odd that the Linux version of Papo & Yo isn't on Steam. Steam achievements work if you have the Steam client running while playing the Humble Bundle version, so I don't know what's keeping them from putting it up on Steam.

GOL Cast: Spraying And Tagging in Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative

Thanks for the preview. I'm currently playing Portal 2 for the first time and this looks like something I might enjoy playing in the future.

The speed and jumping gels remind me of Nihilumbra, but that being a 2D platformer and this game being 3D of course make the gameplay experiences very different.
