The Funding crowd is here again, full of recommendations about new exciting crowdfunded games and a review of what happened to the projects we covered in our latest issue.
Quest of Dungeons is a turn based dungeon crawler game featuring a good old 16-bit retro artistic look. I had a chance to not only test the game and video it for you, but to let you know the developer needs Linux testers.
Citybound is an interesting sounding city-builder current in the early road towards an alpha version. We reported on it first a few weeks ago with an introduction, now it looks like it almost has some game-play.
It seems like we are getting quite a few old gems nowadays, although this is most likely using Dosbox it's still nice to be able to have sales for it counted for Linux.
Today I took a look at Insanity's Blade a game Kickstarted at the end of last year. Insanity's Blade is a real retro-game in the sense that it feels like I'm playing on a Sega Megadrive.
It wins the award for the weirdest title of the day, Rube Works: The Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game previously on mobiles is now on the desktop and it's looking just as odd.
Heart Forth, Alicia is a beautifully crafted Metroidvania RPG on Kickstarter right now seeking funds. It has already hit well-over the initial goal and is sailing towards the Linux stretch goal, but why is it a stretch goal?
Natural Selection 2: Combat is interesting because it's a mod that is turning into a full stand-alone game. A mod of a game that once was just a mod of another game itself. Still with me? Good, Natural Selection 2: Combat is being made by Faultline Games not Unknown Worlds and of course has their full blessing.
So, we do know that Star Citizen will come to Linux thanks to CryEngine being on Linux. I have just found a video of the Star Citizen team getting ready for PAX and an interesting operating system is in the background.
Obduction is an adventure game that went through Kickstarter last year from the developers of the games Myst and Riven. They are now evaluating Linux support thanks to Unreal Engine.
Moebius: Empire Rising an adventure game from Jane Jensen is already confirmed for Linux and we mentioned recently the Linux release has been delayed. We now know what is causing the delay.
Groundskeeper 2 is from the same developers who gave us the fun Heroes of Loot and they have done it again! The game looks absolutely nuts and you are going to love it!
If you haven't heard of Outcast before then you are either young or living under a rock, possibly both! Outcast was a revolutionary open-world action-adventure game back in the day. Outcast Reboot HD is promising Linux support at a hefty stretch goal.
