Klei Entertainment classic Eets is now free and updated for modern PCs with a Linux version
14 Jun 2026 at 12:43 am UTC Likes: 1

Eets is one of my absolute favourite games. No time pressure like in other games of Klei Entertainment (Don't starve or ONI). Not too long, not too short, bitmap-based destructable terrain, cute, just perfect.

Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries, the classic open source RTS has a new release
3 Jan 2019 at 10:30 pm UTC

Funny, it was my very first RTS as well. I got it by an weird very old, yellow box with a bunch of games. Something like "Die große Spielebox".
The graphics of the headless monster swordmen and many sounds of buildings are still in my head ahhh <3...

Maybe... if the game would have been less frustrating with spies and the own men rebelling against the own base, it could have been a huge hit. Even tho I think many concepts are interesting, the gameplay is a bit too complicate in my opinion. Still, a wonderful game.

Just the way that the two friends talk in end with the funny noises and a textbox makes me feel good.

Such platformers like Super Mario 64 or Banjo Tooie are way too rare (lol!) nowadays.

Torque 3D Game Engine 3.7 Released, Features Linux Support
2 Jul 2015 at 8:03 pm UTC

Great news! Btw: The original "Torque Game Engine" has been a Linux game engine since the very beginning (~2002 [External Link]). 10 years later they split it into the Torque 3D and 2D Game Engine.

I love that the new grass is a bit greener and the paths have clearer borders. It looks better and feels more like Warcraft 3, too. :)

Dota 2 Reborn Launches Without Linux Support
18 Jun 2015 at 6:13 pm UTC

I downloaded Dota 2 + Addon (~14GB) on Steam on playonlinux and tried 4 different wine versions. Every time the same results: Dota 2 works perfectly, Dota 2 Reborn works great expect of the fact that the ingame screen is black [External Link]. Even if they release the native port within the next 2 weeks, I hope I can find a workaround for this.

Edit: Fixed. It had to do with the fullscreen/windowed mode. Mbthe update helped as well.

OpenClonk 6 Reimplements Fog Of War

Terraria is more like a RPG with a character that gets stronger and stronger equipment. In Clonk, you only gain classic skill and knowledge about "how to survive enemy players [External Link] / monsters / acid [External Link] or how to run an gold mine while volcanoes are damaging your buildings" by playing a round.

So you have many worlds in Clonk. On CCAN [External Link] and other community websites , there are thousands of user created object packs or scenarios with their own scripted buildings, monsters etc. Many of them are adventures for ppl who prefer pure RPG. (Most of them are for Clonk Rage though)

Wonderful news.
