I'm going to guess that they're using ScummVM.

I'm one of the backers of this project and they just sent out a survey that included a section for "Primary Computer OS", with options of "Windows", "Mac OSX", "Linux" and "No Preference". Of course I selected Linux. If you're a backer, make sure you fill out the survey and select Linux! I imagine they'll be looking at that survey while they evaluate adding Linux support.

Quoting: PKMDid anyone else notice that the Steam counter for Linux games went from 538 to 338? What's up with that?
You can find the counter by going into the Linux games tab, it just says "games".

doesnt count DLC's anymore i guess

I think that's correct. It more or less matches up with SteamDB's number now: http://steamdb.info/linux/ [External Link]

I think its good that they're together since there's no reason not to use the same game files between the two categories. If they had them separated into Linux and SteamOS as distinct categories, I bet some lazy devs would only bother adding their game to the SteamOS section even if it would work fine on Linux too.

Quoting: Quote from KristianThat is a rather good number of Linux related talks :)

 It is! I really hope some videos of the sessions are posted.

Already got it, but that's because I backed Wasteland 2 and it included a Steam key.

Quoting: Quote from abelthorneIt doesn't appear to be live on Linux yet: while the game is listed in the library, it doesn't install anything and gives the usual message "missing executable".

I asked Ryan Gordon about this [External Link] earlier this morning and he said it should be fixed later today.

I hope they do Steam Linux to SteamOS streaming. My main gaming PC runs Steam on Arch Linux. I want to be able to build a super cheap PC to run SteamOS on and stream from Arch Linux to that. I'd love to be able to stream to something like a Raspberry Pi running SteamOS. Chomecast support would be awesome too.

Quoting: Quote from Quote from SabunHey Liam, just to let you know that Ittle Dew has appeared in my Steam Linux library. Still missing an executable, but I think it might be released for Linux on Steam soon :)

I know, I'm in the beta ;)

I'm in as well, but I don't know for you guys, there is no way I can save my games. It is supposed to auto-save, but it doesn't.

I'm in the beta too and having the same problem. I emailed the developer about it, but haven't heard back yet. I'm on Arch Linux x86_64.

Also, thanks Liam for this article. I'm really looking forward to Eador.

I love GamingOnLinux.com because you are doing a great job following up with developers about how their Linux support is coming and encouraging developers to support Linux.
