Well, thankfully the Humble guys are starting to realize the need for better testing and QA. They have been way too many problems lately.

Runesoft brings Airline Tycoon Deluxe to Desura!
8 Nov 2012 at 4:59 pm UTC

Again, a little more expensive than it probably should be, but if it is true that RuneSoft has committed to some actual new ports being on the way, I am willing to cut them a little slack.

EDIT: Here is the confirmation:
Quoting: kratz00t[LEFT]All I can say for now is, we are working on Airline Tycoon Deluxe and Northland, they will be available on Desura really soon. Next up will be Jack Keane and the Ankh series. The Ankh series will also include Ankh 3 for Linux for the first time ever, but probably not this year. [/LEFT][LEFT]At the moment there is no final decision about all the other games yet.[/LEFT]

Steam Closed Beta Now Live!
8 Nov 2012 at 9:07 pm UTC

Well, with Steam you have to buy into their philosophy. If you don't, you are left in the cold. That is true in general.

In this specific case though, we will have to wait and see, and it is still in closed beta after all. I am really kind of perplexed by all the people jumping into this thing so quickly and in some ways leaving their good sense at the door - it is still very early yet, so calm down and down everyone and maybe learn a little bit of patience.

Says someone who is personally not terribly interested I know. But still...

Quoting: "Anon, post: 6160"And someone in the thread is claiming it's easy to bypass the check. Anyone care to share? ;)

So people are trying to bypass Steam authentication already? Interesting sign... :P

Submit your questions for me to ask the Interstellar Marines guys

Will it be more akin to modern mainstream corridor shooters or will it have more expansive and intricate environments?

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6069, member: 122"Fingers crossed. Hopefully that's included in icculus' [URL='https://twitter.com/icculus/status/263302735632416770']recent tweet[/URL] about prepping Linux games for Steam keeping him busy.

Well, we know for a fact he is prepping Postal 2 for RWS, but he did seem to be implying that he was working on several different titles, so here is hoping. :D

      Penumbra: Black Plague
      Penumbra: Overture
      Penumbra: Requiem

Sad that they do not have most of these games on the Linux Desura. Of course they did not give out Desura keys for the HIB release of Amnesia even though that one is available on the service, so in general Frictional does not seem very inclined to Desura unfortunately.

      Psychonauts

I hope they have done some more bug fixing work on this before they declare the port ready for the big time.
