Quoting: veccherit's not in their radar anymore!! the only linux title in their feral radar now is the xcom DLC.

Indeed. I have just gone and seen it is no longer in the Radar (neither is the Mac icon). This could be one of two possibilities:

1) The radar is currently faulty or has been updated and not set correctly to display the right icons.
2) The game port has been cancelled, and that is why it is now missing.

Let's hope it is reason (1).

Tempted to get Cities: Skylines - "The finest city builder in over a decade" - Noting that if you use the SUMMER10 voucher code you get an additional 10% off the already 75% discounted price, on Bundle Stars [External Link].

EDIT:

And yes, I got Cities: Skylines. Hehe.

Meanwhile, I also got Orion Trail (steam key) on chrono.gg website, while that is on discount. This is one of those occasions where using a Steam Key Reseller has not worked out well for me. Let me explain:

I bought Orion Trail because it does appear to be quite like the FTL game, which I really enjoy.
After buying the game, I added the key to Steam, installed it and started playing.
Now that I've played it for an hour, it's *okay* for a bit of entertainment, but it isn't anywhere near as good as FTL.
But because I've bought it from a Reseller, rather than direct from Steam, I can't seek a refund as easily as I could from Steam.
Didn't spend much money, so I'll probably just roll with it.
(Had I got it from Steam, I think I'd go through the refund procedure.)

I own the old Classic version of this, Dos-box'ed and available to Linux via Steam.

Dungeon Warfare has turned out to be a very enjoyable Tower Defence style game. Picked it up on discount about 3 weeks ago, and played 32 hours so far. It is different to usual TD games, because it is set in a Dungeon Keeper setting, and you can block the path of the opposing Heroes and cause them to take different routes and then use the existing dungeon features to your strategic advantage. Heartily recommended. Great for a short (say 20 minutes) gaming session, and then another one, and then another one..

7 Days To Die has been something I've really enjoyed playing over the past 4 months. In that time, I've managed to play a massive 300+ hours of this game. What's more, I'm not feeling so tired of it, that I want to give up. Some games, you play them and then finishing the game is an annoying grind, and you aren't actually enjoying it any more. The only reason I'd put this game down, is because I am now so familiar with the mechanics, that I'm ready for something fresh. But, all things considered, happy to fire it up and "Carry on Surviving" It has taken me 300 hours to get to the point where it is a little bit stale. A fantastic game.

Oh Sir: The Insult Simulator - picked this up a week ago, as the lowest tier of the Humble micro Jumbo bundle. Played a number of short sessions, totalling 4 hours. Some online sessions versus other people, some against the PC, and some Tournaments against the PC. Unlocked most of the playable characters, and in the online games, I've won about 7:1 against other humans, haha. It's quite fun, good for a short game once in a while.

Tomb Raider (2013) - started playing this today. I've been wanting to play this type of game for a while. It's a good game, played 6 hours so far. Enjoying the story, the game play, but I've a few minor niggles with it. I guess I've been spoilt playing games like Dying Light, Mad Max, 7 Days To Die - which are proper open-world games. Tomb Raider isn't entirely linear, but it isn't fully open-world either. Very happy with the graphics, voice acting, and story so far.

I decided to install Verdun for myself. Well.. it's only 5GB install. To find out if this problem happens for me as well.

Yes, it did. Added the  -screen-fullscreen 0  modifier to the Launch options, and after that the mouse buttons were responding when clicking on Menu options.

Thanks for sharing. Hope the Unity people fix it soon!

There's quite a few issues for Feral and monetizing a game port. One issue is the fact that there's a lot of Linux games out there already. So, whatever money Feral make is limited by that fact. Linux gamers spread their (finite) cash around what is available ( "lots" ).

Certainly, in my case, I pick up games that appeal to me that are released on Linux. But if a particular one that I like is not available (e.g. Witcher 3), then I spend my cash on another (Linux) game instead. There is so much out on Linux to keep me entertained. It'll be years before I finish playing what is in my collection already, not to mention titles which are highly replayable.

I've dropped over 150 hours into FTL and 280 hours into 7 Days To Die for instance, heh. Mad Max ~ about 80 hours, Dying Light ~ about 130 hours, Serious Sam 3 ~ about 70 hours.

The games I personally would love to see on Linux are:

The Witcher 3 (Hurray, The Witcher 2 is on Linux)
Shadow Warrior 2 (noting that this one was promised to Linux community, and hasn't been delivered yet)
Skyrim
Doom
Legend of Grimrock 2 (Hurray, LoG 1 is on Linux)

Then there are others which I'd still jump on, but not quite as desperately:

Fallout 4
Rise of the Tomb Raider (Hurray, Tomb Raider is on Linux)
Dragon Age: "any"
Divinity: Original Sin 2 (Hurray, Divinity: Original Sin 1 is on Linux)
Watch Dogs 2
GTA V
Redout: Enhanced Edition
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout 3
Bayonetta
Witcher 1
Dragon's Dogma
Nier Automata
Battlefield 1
Shadow of War
Dishonored I and II

And then there are things which might not come to PC Windows:

Horizon Zero Dawn

EDIT: Some of these are on GOG, as well as Steam. Also I'd suggest favouring any game where Vulkan can be used as the graphics engine, because that helps the Framerate compete with Windows releases.

Displeased!!!!

I own(ed) Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander on Steam, and following this change, my game has disappeared. It's not in my account any more.

Hope it reappears soon! (Been hunting around for emails / purchase details, but that hasn't worked out so far.)

EDIT:

Sent a Support Request to Steam about it.

I got the lowest ($1) level in the microJumbo Bundle, primarily to get my hands on Oh Sir.. The Insult Simulator. If I didn't already own Devil Daggers, I would have got the Beat The Average option on the bundle instead.

There's not a lot which is tempting me at the moment (on sale). I did spot Enclave [External Link] at 80% discount right now (which I already own), and note that it did recently get a Linux port.

Pleasingly, it is already in my Steam collection. Another one joining the Rebel Alliance. =P
