Martian city builder 'Surviving Mars' release date announced with a new trailer
1 Feb 2018 at 6:23 pm UTC

Dont even need to see the trailer. Will buy on day 1. City builders are the only games that get me to sit at my computer anymore. It's a city builder or a couch game.

Hmm, I stopped visiting IGN when they stopped writing good game reviews and instead just made a video for everything.

I'm certain they'll ruin Humble.

Time to launch a Gaming on Linux Bundle site? I'll buy my games from you.

Don't Be Patchman, a game that originally released just for Linux is to leave Early Access this month

Well, I have to buy this one now. Looks quite interesting, and I am obligated to own a game that launched as a Linux exclusive.

Battle for Orion 2, a game where galactic domination meets real time strategy has a Linux version

MOAR!!! As soon as I get off work, I'm buying this! Looks fantastic.

GOG release a bunch of SNK NEO GEO classics, all with Linux support

All of these work wonderfully on my Retropie. Neo Geo was amazing, definitely high quality arcade games.

Need art for your games? Asset Forge and public domain Kenney assets may help

As a budding programmer who was always interested in game development, but overwhelmed by the art asset portion, this is awesome. Thanks for the write-up, it answered questions I've had for years about how a fiscally restricted developer who doesn't have the skill and/or time to invest in artwork would possibly go about putting a game together.

And your articles on game engines like Unity and Godot have answered questions about that part of game development. It's wonderful to have this resource that I visit as a gamer inspire me to create as a programmer. Thanks, man.

Act fast if you want a good indie RTS game, as Rusted Warfare has an awesome deal on

I would pay $20 USD for this game. Bought it on Android, then on Linux through Steam. It's a steal normally, this is just downright cruel to the developer. BUY IT.

Morphite, the casual and stylish FPS is now on Linux, hold off for now

Since I have a Steam Controller, I bought it just now. I try to play all games in windowed mode because when using a tiling wm, it's just easier to let the wm handle everything, especially considering I have a fullscreen(wm) shortcut in my controller scheme.

Really wanted No Man's Sky before it's launch, but I'm Linux only and even if I wasn't, NMS looked quite boring.

Rise to Ruins updated with an overhauled combat system along with bows and arrows

Man, this game just keeps getting better! Also, it has to be said that the music in this game is perhaps the best "retro-inspired" music in a game I've ever heard.

Setting a primary monitor for launching games in a dual monitor rig

The "Save to X file" option in Nvidia Settings works, but you need to be sure to then move that file you just created to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ This is where X looks for configurations upon boot.
