Trench Run from the developers of Soldat & King Arthur's Gold is now out on Steam for Linux

Quoting: GuestThis reminds me I need to actually play King Arthur's Gold. It seems like it could be fun as hell, but I've only played 50 mins of it. I hope with this game out, the population doesn't die off. Shiprekt looks great too. :/
KAG can be frustrating because you depend quite a bit on the team and sometimes you are lead to a spiral of losses or easy wins without competition. When the match is balanced, however, it shines like few multiplayers out there. Really intense and funny.

EDIT: bought it and played for a while. Interesting, fun for a while but still at a very early stage of development. On the other hand, awesome to have proper treatment (day-1 Linux:-)

Oh interesting !
King Arthur's Gold was pure gold indeed. I hope this one is as funny :-)

Unity3D game engine hardware statistics updated, shows Linux is very low

Quoting: NelAs seen on reddit, more than 80% of linux users play on a 23:20 rotated display, mostly at 1368x1536 as most of us may expect.

Since Linux is low on memory usage, people also tends to drop RAM from 8GB (40% → 8%) to 4GB (33% →87%) as seen on survey.

This is obviously very accurate statistics.
84% of us run an unknown OS. I don't even know what I run !
Of course RAM tendencies are to drop. I'm sure soon we will all fall back to 2GB and then back to 512MB. Back to the roots, man.
BTW, I love my 23:20 rotated display. Didn't know they were so popular...

The next alpha for the open source RTS 0 A.D. is coming soon, some highlights included

Awesome!! I played some of it and the game is still early in the baking but am hoping they keep going with this great project :-)
Has very nice potential, that's for sure! Also, FOSS FTW

Sounds very promising! Pillars of Eternity was a great title.

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition patch out now for Linux
12 Mar 2016 at 12:29 pm UTC

A very fine game indeed. After finishing KOTOR 2, I will resume my already ~30h DOS play through.
Many kudos to Larian Studios.

A chat with AtomicTorch Studio about their Linux sales with Dinocide & VoidExpanse
7 Mar 2016 at 3:13 pm UTC

Thanks a bunch for the nice answers and for actually posting here, ai_enabled. I just wish more developers were as open, informed and engaged with the costumers.

BTW, Dinocide doesn't interested me honestly, but I've had VE for quite a long while already, directly purchased DRM-free from your website. I invested some 6 hours into it, was pretty fun back then. I decided to wait to play it for real. Guess I will get it again now that it's reached maturity :-)

I will definitely keep an eye on AtomicTorch Studio's future work.
