Deadfall Adventures FPS Looks Like It Is Coming To Linux
24 Nov 2013 at 9:13 am UTC

Quoting: Quote from titi@Magevania, this is not true! Those Unreal Engine 3 games are native! No wine library used! Same for unity based games with real linux ports.
( I don't own Europa Universalis IV but I think this a real port too! )
OK I did a misktake about U3 and EU games but Unity games are not native, they use Mono and Mono/NET framework is similar to Java, there is not native code! There is a virtual machine and the program is "highly" cross-platform.

Unreal Engine 3 games do use mono/wine wrapper under Linux. They are not really native Linux games. Same for Unity based games. Europa Universalis IV uses steam wrapper (a sort of wine library) for accessing to Windows' DLL from Linux.
Quoting: Quote from q4aLooks like it's using Unreal Engine 3, but I still don't see Linux in this list:

Dead Sky Steam Release Slated For Today
23 Nov 2013 at 1:43 pm UTC

I bet that this game was made by a single programmer with Unity in six months...

"Founded in 2012, we have since released two flagship titles: Spectraball [External Link] and Dead Sky."

The Indie Game Developer Community & Unity3D
23 Oct 2013 at 9:21 pm UTC

I wonder why indie devs use Unity3D (3th) when they have Blender 17th engine on ModDB. The Spring engine, http://www.evolutionrts.info [External Link] looks cool! :D
The Leadwerks engine could be the killer app for Steam machine :)
Unfortunatly it's not GPLed...

P.S: linux game devs need updated books. Last book that I read was Programming Linux Games by J. Hall (R.I.P. :( ), 2001 Loki Software.
Why do Ryan Gordon not write a book about his experiencing in programming/porting linux games?
