Resident Evil would also be extremely welcome, who knows what the future holds. Having games like this will certainly make us look more interesting though.

Looks like Feral Interactive are porting Medieval II: Total War to Linux (updated)

Updated, it was a mistake Feral's end going by their twitter.

Steam Controller updated, you can name it, take configs with you, adjust the light & bleep and more

Quoting: PicoboomA possible word of caution: this new update seems to have broken custom config saves for me. I'll look into the settings more closely, but as of last night saving (now called exporting) a configuration only saved the name, but not the bindings. The bindings were all default gamepad bindings, regardless of the original template.

It was late last night when this happened to me, and I haven't yet gone to Steam or Reddit to see if this is a problem others are having en masse, whether it's OS specific, if there are workarounds, etc. And I haven't looked into it yet this morning, but when I saw this article I thought I should mention the issue so others would be aware of it. :)
I've looked through some comments, and saw this from Valve:
Quoting: Finol, 9 hours agoYour old configs should still be on your drive, we have a bug where the new system is looking in the wrong location to find them. We'll try to ship a fix tomorrow.

SHINESS, a fantastic looking 3D RPG coming to Linux, new teaser trailer

The game itself was likely covered by one of the past Funding Crowd articles, but here's a refresher.
Doesn't look like it was. I can't even find it in the crowdfunding wiki muntdefems maintained. They announced Linux support [External Link] one week into the campaign, so that's probably why we missed it.

It does look gorgeous though.
Even more glad I covered it then, thanks flesk :)

Done, added both, good idea.

From what I hear in our IRC channel (#gamingonlinux on freenode) it's quite CPU heavy.

A KDE developer has thoughts on changing how Linux games work

Quoting: SethoxI wonder something, for how long have you commenters been on the internet (no insult, a rhetorical question)? This is a blog post is to spark ideas out of the people that are interested so a discussion can start, that could potentially change how things work or even add a mechanism that wasn't intent for what it first was.

My point here is that as long as you just deny an idea because you do not like it, you stagnate the community. These are the few moments where you have to be optimistic to how things could work (in theory), any idea can help the spark of innovation happen.
No this is how debates happen, not everyone is on the side of liking the idea. Just because some of us don't like the idea, and give reasons why, doesn't suddenly make us stagnate anything.
Quoting: SethoxA greater example is Mantle, it was such a nice thing as a concept and even pushed DX12 to happen. The concept failed but the code did not, which gave others a potential that it could happen in another way (Vulkan), a discussion began and thus agreed to make it happen.
Mantle didn't change the entire tried and tested user experience.

The new XCOM 2 trailer has me extremely excited for the Linux port

Quoting: BeamboomOh Steam please just auto-transact all of Ferals Linux-releases to my account. Just grab the money and ship'em over.

But I seriously doubt it will be a day one release. I assume Feral receive the source code of the released version, and seeing how most games are patched even on release day I guess that means they can't receive the source long before the official release, maybe even right after.
Well, it's confusing, as it already has a SteamOS icon and it's already listing Feral Interactive as a developer and publisher.

InSomnia - an RPG set in a brutal dieselpunk universe, planning a same-day Linux release now

Quoting: scaineWe actually covered this back in July 2014 on the Funding Crowd - and back then the Linux version wasn't confirmed, so it's superb to see this one come good.
Oh man, good stuff I can't keep up!

Quoting: KeyrockThat was a ballsy pass going from 5th to 3rd.
I was holding onto my pants hoping it worked out.
