Strife: Quest for the Sigil was both a critical and commercial disappointment for Rogue Entertainment in 1996, and the source code to the game was mislaid by its developers. Years later work begin on reverse engineering Strife using the released Doom code. Night Dive Studios would later use this community project to craft The Original Strife: Veteran Edition.

Continuing my love for Croteam, today it was pointed out on reddit that the Croteam developers have been talking quite a bit more about Vulkan on one of their Steam forums. They also stated that Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter should have the Fusion update with Linux & Vulkan in 'weeks'.

The Wine Staging team has release their 2.0 release and they have also written up a blog post detailing work on Vulkan, DX11 and more. Seems a number of DX11 games now work!

Something I forgot to write up, was that the latest Steam survey is out. Linux dropped by 0.08% according to the figures.

Wine Staging, the testing area for future Wine releases has been updated today and it pulls in some patches that allow DOOM to actually run with Wine on Linux.

Jupiter Hell, the glorious looking modern roguelike has been over-funded on Kickstarter and so it's officially on its way to Linux.

After ZeniMax sent the lawyers knocking, the developer of what was called DoomRL (Doom Roguelike) has changed it's name to 'DRL' and it's now open source.

This is quite sad really, ZeniMax are now sending their cronies after DoomRL the Doom-inspired roguelike.

If you're looking to play an adventure game but you don't have a lot of time, then you may be interested to check "Sisyphus Reborn", a lightweight (300 MB) and short existential adventure that will only take you 40 minutes to finish (and that includes getting all the achievements).

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but the Linux & SteamOS port of Killing Floor 2 has been put on hold. Although, it's not all doom and gloom.

Jupiter Hell looks and sounds very exciting, especially since it will have full Linux support. It's from the same developer who made DoomRL. The developer told me Linux support will be in from the beginning.

I managed to get in touch with Daedalic Entertainment to review their new adventure game named 'Silence' and you may want to keep a close eye on it.

Surprise! As I mentioned on the Friday livestream yesterday, I decided to get back into the livestream game this weekend. So, strap yourself in and prepare yourself for your next dose of live Linux gaming!

That's right, we are mentioning Halloween again. Noct is a freaky 2D top-down action and survival game that has been updated with new gameplay.

The game store itch can be a bit of a goldmine when it comes to smaller titles, and it’s time to give them a shout out.

The new DLC Cities Skylines - Natural Disasters has been shown off, along with a Scenario Editor in a new video.

I've had a chance to play the new brutal action platformer BUTCHER and I quite like it. Here are my thoughts.

I love future sci-fi games, especially when they look as brutal and beautiful as Jupiter Hell. It will go to Kickstarter sometime soon and Linux is a first class citizen.

Ha! You may have expected the livestreams to have ended for this week but we aren't going to let you off that easy! Another live session of doom and destruction is happening today and is lead by the one and only Samsai. Buckle up and get set up for the show!

BUTCHER looks like a cross between Broforce and Doom and has jumped straight to the top of my watch list. The developers sent it in and tell me it will have full Linux support.
