A Linux version of Heretic-inspired FPS 'AMID EVIL' is planned

Awesome. I played a lot of Heretic/Hexen back in the 1990s. I'll definitely be buying this if there is a native Linux version.

The RPG 'Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues' is to launch next month

I still plan on buying this game, but I'm going to wait a year or so after release to do so to let them fix all the problems with it.

Lovecraftian horror game 'Conarium' officially released for Linux

Great news that it is now out on Linux. I've always loved Lovecraft-themed games going back to the original Alone in the Dark in the early 1990s.

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

I'd like them to get in touch with Cyan and make Linux versions of realMyst: Masterpiece Edition and Obduction.

The MMO 'Project: Gorgon' has an experimental Linux version, it's not bad at all & free for now
11 Jan 2018 at 7:21 am UTC

I've casually followed this project for a while, because (as you said) it is made by two former Asheron's Call developers (my first MMO, which was shut down a year ago). Unfortunately, Project Gorgon is not really like the first Asheron's Call. In AC1, you could create any type of character that you wanted, but you were limited in how many skills you could have by skill points. Your skills' levels were also effected by how you distributed your attribute points. Character creation and choices made early on was a huge deal in AC1. Most people's first several characters were horribly gimped and had to be abandoned. But once you learned to make a character with the right selection of skills/attributes/buffs you could be incredibly powerful and take on whole rooms of monsters at once. The game's very distinct feel was a huge part of its appeal (and its hardcore PK server, Darktide).

So in summary, the main reason I haven't tried it yet is because I know that its not quite like my first MMO, even though its made by two of that game's developers. That being said, I'll still probably try it out at some point, just because we have so few native Linux MMOs. I've also noticed that Shroud of the Avatar (in early access on Steam) has a native Linux version as well, has anyone tried it yet?

The Steam Winter Sale is now live

I got Torchlight 2 for $4, Tomb Raider for $3, and Portal 2 and The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human both for $2. Trying to decide between Sublevel Zero Redux and Lords of Xulima for the remainder of the $20 gift card. Anyone played either of those two?

Quoting: axredneckGZDoom + Doom 2 + community maps + my mods
Same. Currently I'm playing through the horror-themed wad, "The City of The Damned - Apocalypse."

GZDoom has a great native Linux version for anyone wondering... And there are a huge amount of great wads out there to be played.
