Pier Solar HD 16bit RPG Launching Soon For Linux, New Teaser Trailer
6 Mar 2014 at 7:19 pm UTC

When I say a true 16-bit RPG I mean it, it was actually released on the Sega Megadrive
That's pretty neat. :)
Though I probably would prefer them bundling the original game with a Mega Drive emulator instead of doing a remake.

Does it at least contain a YM2612 emulator for the music? I'm a sucker for those synth ICs...

Many Linux Games To Look Forward To In 2014
28 Feb 2014 at 11:21 pm UTC

SOMA is high on my "Looking forward" list as well, but the little life-action teaser clips actually made me wish it was an FMV game. :/

Luckily, it looks like the new Tex Murphy game will fill all my need for cheesy FMV ham. :D

And then's the RPG trifecta of Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity announced for this year (altough I'd bet that the latter will be pushed to 2015). And in 2015, Torment: Tides of Numenera. :)

Also (apart from the onces you already named): Unrest, Harvest, The Maker's Eden, Gods Will Be Watching, Tangiers, Among the Sleep, Dreamfall Chapters, Lords of Xulima, The Diviner, ...

Damn, that's really quite a lot...

A Call For Help, Help GamingOnLinux Grow

Eh, what the hell, it's the end of the month and I got a few Euros left for a change, so I went ahead and donated £10. Not much, I know, but it's about as much as I can give in my current situation.

I don't always agree with you, but I do appreciate the work you're doing here.

Don't. Ever. Start. Things. As. root.

Apart from that, the file strife in the bin/ directory is the executable you're going to run. If it crashes, you should probably look into that crash log.

The Reason Some Games Are Delayed For Linux In Humble Indie Bundles
22 Feb 2014 at 10:22 am UTC

Quoting: Jebrilports of Braid
Which is still not on Steam.
In fact, I have 3 dozens of games in my "Missing Linux version" category in my Steam library. All games that have working GNU/Linux versions, but not on Steam for some reason.

Quoting: JebrilI'm not exactly hurt by the fact that this one game won't have a port until later this year, at least that has been said for us
Let's recap that next year, okay? Because I still don't believe that Linux port of Giana Sisters will ever come.

For some reason, I got a key for Strife as well. I certainly didn't apply for them and I hadn't even heard about the game before. I also don't care at all about MOBAs. :P

The only reason I can think of why I got a key is because I bought Savage like 10 years ago, and played Savage 2 when it went free.

I regularly play the pen & paper roleplaying game. :)

Apparently the Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Linux & Mac version will be out later this year
Well, they have been saying "Linux support soon" for quite a while now. Would be great if that finally happened.

Humble Store Adds Euro & British Pricing With Annoying Results

Quoting: hidekinSame price here in switzerland
Oh? Interesting. I wonder if it's 40€ in Austria as well, on account of also being a German-speaking country.

How popular is DSA in Switzerland, by the way?
