'Fruits of a Feather' is a small Pay What You Want unconventional exploration game where you play as a bird

Thanks for reminding me that this game is out there. I'm downloading it now. :)

Rencounter, a turn-based roguelike RPG adds Linux support, a quick look

Good on you Liam for giving this game even *half* a chance. I would've turned around and run away as soon as I saw the game's "features:"

Features:
- Explore dungeons
- Fight enemies
- Scavenge equipment
- Loot valuable items
- Build Your character
- Manage inventory


This game has "features" the way Westerns feature horses, not as a unique quality but as a genre defining norm. Pfft, pass.

Black Ice, the 'hack and shoot' FPS has a major update to change the entire game

I think this has been on my wishlist since I first *joined* Steam. The look of the thing has always intrigued me but failed to "hook" me, and so it continues to sit, collecting virtual dust in my wishlist.

Developers who seek to improve their game after release are always worth taking a closer look at. It's pretty clear that it's no longer a question of *if* I purchase *Black Ice,* it's merely a question of *when.*

Fumiko! Possibly one of the weirdest platformers I've ever played was developed on Linux, lots of bugs

Here's hoping the dev is from the Patchit tribe and fixes these issues. It looks like a promising experience once it manages to get out of the way of itself.

Victor Vran Overkill Edition announced (two new DLC)

I'll definitely be buying the DLC. I may even consider the new "Overkill" edition, depending upon what makes it so.

Seems like ages ago that they announced their intention to make the Motorhead DLC, and in one very real way it was an age ago. A different era, in fact.

Rest in Peace Lemmy.

Neon Drive, a very slick and rather difficult retro-inspired rhythm game

The Wild Eight is another game funded by Kickstarter that decided to delay the promised Linux version

Our hands are tied now because having builds for different OS is too hard for us because we ...
" ... suck as programmers almost as much as we suck as people."

[Addendum: Personally, this is no loss to me. Besides their belief that snow turns purple at night, these guys are bringing nothing to the table. "SURVIVE IN A FROZEN BLAH BLAH BLAH!" Been there. Survived that.]

Looks like Killing Floor 2 may be coming to Linux from Knockout Games

I feel a bit silly when I admit it, but I'm still sulky that Tripwire didn't release KF2 on Linux in the first place. It's coal in their stockings for now. Naughty devs, you broke my heart.

Lifeless Planet Premier Edition, a third-person action-adventure is now available for Linux

The premise is a classic and has me hooked. If it were a novel, I'd read it. If it were a movie, I'd watch it. As it stands, looks like I'm gonna play it!

Steam Beta Client updated, finally fixing the notification spam when you login and group notifications

It's funny how every Steam update makes me resent Valve a little more. Although it is nice that Valve fixes these squibbly little Steam bugs, it would be even nicer if every once in a while they did something about the 200 lb. penguins in the room. Broadcasting, full functionality of SC in Desktop mode and wirelessly when Steam isn't running, and updating their Linux aging Linux client are all long overdue for some attention. Grrrrrr. Just, grrrrrrr.
