Alienware Steam Machine Is Shown Off In Another Nice Video

I believe it's essential to make it easy for people to install supplementary software on SteamOS. An example is XBMC or Kodi media centre software to make up for the limited media centre capabilities of a stock Steam Machine. Similarly, I'm sure one could hack in Twitch streaming quite easily.

The Latest Humble Weekly Bundle Is Pretty Damn Good

Lumino City os Flash as far as I know, so unless they wrap it in a pepper+browser combo or something equally goofy, we may never see it on Linux.

Joking aside, this is a good start. Their games are not for everyone and their games sometimes disappear when licensing agreements run out, but it is fairly solid entertainment.

You can be brave and use the experimental Unity Linux build.

We made a game in it for the last Ludum Dare.

Sales Statistics From Super Win the Game, All Platforms Did Badly
29 Sep 2015 at 7:18 pm UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: MGOidI played You Have to Win the Game (the free version) and NEON STRUCT (demo) form this developer, and I think his games are pretty solid, bug free software. Impressive that they are made by one single developer.

But they are also a one man show, so very simple games. YHtWtG is one of the most hardcore, difficult games I have played, leaving both Super Meat Boy and They Bled Pixels behind. Still a good, enjoyable game.

So is not a surprise that the sales figures are low. You have to remember that the majority of the people playing games stink, so a "easy" mode have to be provided, or you risk the loss of a lot of sales.

This is not accurate. There are two of them, brothers, who each work on their own games independently, but publish under the same company name. NEON STRUCT and YHTWTG were not made by the same person.
