Quoting: ZnurreI have to agree with above poster, awesome article. I really enjoyed reading it and found some very nice titles in there too. Already backed Leadwerks and Soul Saga :)
Well that helps make that time spent writing on Sundays worthwhile! Thanks for letting us know -- especially love to hear you found a couple projects to back

Quoting: s_dSecond, American McGee's new Oz-related game project probably deserves a nice paragraph above, in light of the most recent update [External Link].
Are you referring to the name change to "Oz Action Adventure"? I think it happened after I wrote the blurb, but it would be good to sneak in a little update...

Nice to see that list of released games starting to grow, isn't it?

Quoting: SteamPenguinVery very suprised there was no mention of Frontiers, in the in the running section, especially as its doing so well.
Forgot this was a kickstarter relaunch after the sluggish Indiegogo attempt; it will be in this week's roundup (and personally starred it for future consideration, for that matter...)

An Interview and Preview with IndieCity on Linux!

I agree that would be an important feature a lot of Linux gamers would want

Quoting: tigerAlso, not impressed by anything here, pretty lame titles IMO.
You may not be impressed with Erica Reed because the genre is not to your taste, but I've seen lots of pleased comments from people who do like that sort of game, so it makes sense that it finally got greenlit

Interstellar Marines released in Early Access on Steam

I'm hoping this one turns out well too, was backing it on their kickstarter that failed to hit an ambitious goal. Any more details available on the roadmap, in particular the parts affecting Linux support?

Quoting: BumadarCognition: An Erica Reed Thriller........ putting that on my "follow"  list..... looks good
The Erica Reed dev team is currently working on Moebius for Jane Jensen, who got funds through her kickstarter to add Linux support

Moebius is re-using a lot of the Unity code from Erica Reed, so when they do the engine upgrade towards the end of Moebius development, they shouldhave a lot of groundwork done for upgrading Erica Reed next.

Quoting: OrkultusI bought Interstellar Marines, about 8 months ago, and since then i haven't been able to play any of the demo's on their page cause they require "Unity Webplayer Plugin". They just now gave us Steam keys, and it's available to play pre-release for the people who paid for "Spearhead" rank. Next week it will be available. Although they still dont have a Linux version, and it wont be on steam next week. They said there is alot of "Middleware" that doesn't work on Linux. So i dont even know when or if a Linux version is going to come out. I guess im out 50 dollars.
I almost did that preorder myself actually, don't remember exactly why I didn't...
Maybe one of the GoL editors could ask for clarification on Linux status, since it was covered here before?
