Wow, it's probably the first time in a looooong time that a Humble Bundle has such a percentage of native Linux titles. I already have XCOM2 but might pick the bundle for the rest which looks quite interesting, and to support devs who support Linux :)
Melvor Idle is probably one of the best idle games around

Looks interesting! For those wondering like me what the difference is between the Steam version and the Web app: https://www.reddit.com/r/MelvorIdle/comments/jywwb4/steam_vs_web_app_vs_phone_app/

That looks really nice, thanks for covering it! I'll definitely be following their progress.
Just worried a bit by the talk about season pass/expansions as I'm not so much into ever-expanding content which end up being both time and money sinks. I'd be more for a well-rounded experience for 30 EUR that I can enjoy for a while and then move on to other horizons :) So I'll wait for the release to see how the commercial concept unfolds for real.

Political strategy game Rogue State Revolution gets a demo and a release date

FYI, this is now fixed in the Steam demo.
Also fixed another Godot issue along the way which should benefit users of AMD discrete GPUs :)

Quoting: AkienQuoting: DeathByDenimHmm, looks interesting, but the demo doesn't run on Ubuntu 20.04.
./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64)
I think Ubuntu 20.04 is only on 2.31.
Indeed, glibc 2.33 is fairly recent so it sounds like they built custom Godot binaries on a cutting edge distro. This is problematic as Linux binaries need to be built against the oldest glibc version one aims to support, so typically on older distros (CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 16.04).
I'll help the devs to fix their Linux binaries to ensure that they're as portable as official Godot builds.

Google open sources VR painting app Tilt Brush

As the upstream repo is archived, it doesn't accept contributions, but there seems to be an active fork rebranded to Open Brush, with initial Linux support: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/pull/4
It's also having a contribution from one of the original committers on the Google repo, so likely someone from Google: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/pull/2
Exciting to see where it goes :)

Great initiative! I'm happy to see something like this finally available in the FOSS toolkit, and kudos to you for creating bindings for so many FOSS languages and engines. I'm sure Godot folks will find a good use for your GDNative implementation at https://github.com/dulsi/gdnativegamerzilla :)
Standalone Steam Controller driver and UI 'SC Controller' gets a sweet small upgrade

For the reference, there's a WIP Python 3 port at https://github.com/Ryochan7/sc-controller/tree/python3
It builds and runs fine, though I can't get it to recognize my SC properly, but I'm not sure it's related to the Python 3 port or a change in my distro (especially the Linux kernel's HID driver).

Virtual Cottage is a sweet little chill-out app with a timer reminiscent of Kind Words

For the reference, it's also distributed on Steam (with close to 200 positive reviews in just a few days!), but as the devs are not familiar with Linux they haven't included the Linux build on Steam yet.
Be sure to let them know if the Linux build on itch works for you to give them confidence :)

Fast-paced action-roguelike 'Burning Knight' goes fully open source

I got things working with mono 6.12.0.90, msbuild and nuget installed from the upstream Mono repos: https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/
(They actually don't support my distro Mageia but I can hack around to use the Fedora/RHEL packages.)
Then to build:
And run:
That's the debug version, which has debug tools but no music/sfx as pointed out in the readme. For those, build a release version instead:
Hope this helps :)

Quoting: PozzuoliI don't have a problem with no issue tracking; that's their prerogative. But I have no idea how to actually run the game. Some minimal instructions might have been nice! Has anyone had any success?
