Hotline Miami looks to be heading to Linux!
20 Mar 2013 at 9:30 pm UTC

Wow, that's what I call a detailed answer! For all I know, it could perfectly mean: «Yes, we're actually planning to gather all the code we've ported so far, put in a pendrive, bury it in the middle of a forest and beat the crap out of anybody who tries to get it with a baseball bat, Hotline Miami style.»

I really hope that's not what they meant. :S:

Steam starts it's own form of Alpha Funding!

Not so great for those who prefer DRM-free games... :(

With this intermediate step between Greenlight and the Steam Store, an increase in the flux of greenlit games is to be expected. Thus, it's easy to imagine more and more small developers going the Steam way, rather than opting for other platforms like Desura.

The Humble Weekly Sale

As I stated before I'm fairly convinced they'll be featuring games from past bundles, and therefore the vast majority of them will be cross-platform.

But it just occurred to me that they do sell a fair amount of non-Linux games on the Humble Store [External Link], and that they may be featuring those as well... :S:

Quoting: liamdaweSo it looks like Humble Bundle have taken a few ideas from IndieGameStand [External Link] on this one and started doing weekly sales [External Link].
Speak of the devil... :)

Oh, no! Not again! :><:

Are you sure it's $1.99? Because this time I'm certain I payed 1.99€ for it. Not that the game doesn't deserve them, since I find it psychedelically original and challenging, but still.

Kerbal Space Program released for Linux

I tried the demo and it worked OK. However I quickly got stuck in the building tutorial, as I was unable to connect the module with the fuel tank and there was no way out from there. :(

It's true that there's already IndieGameStand for this, but they don't feature Linux titles as often as I'd like (which would be always, of course :P). They recently announced [External Link] their next 3 games will be Linux-compatible, though (yay!).

Plus, I regard these Humble Weekly Sales as an opportunity to snatch games from bundles I didn't got (because I'm assuming they'll feature games from past bundles, at least by now).

3 new bundles with Linux titles in them

Quoting: hardpenguinWell, the thing is, Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road only announced its planned (and worked on) Linux support, but no measurable effects so far...
You're right, my apologies. I didn't check it explicitly, I just trusted the bundle's page were this game is announced as supporting Linux. If there's no Linux support as of yet, I assume it must be right around the corner, since last January they announced they were close enough to a finished Linux version (source: Steam Greenlight page).

Anyway, one of the developers said on IndieGameStand's forums that this game was scheduled for being featured there pretty soon. I guess we can wait and see if there's a Linux version by then.
It hasn't been featured on IndieGameStand [External Link] yet, but it's already available for Linux on Desura [External Link]. ^_^

Enemy fully funded and heading to Linux!

Damn! I was out for the weekend and I forgot to pledge... :(
