Valve has done the usual and given that greenlight for a ton of indie games to come onto Steam, we highlight the ones with Linux support. We have a nice big 35 games this time around the claim they will support Linux.
My favourites
Aeon Command - I've played it a fair bit as it has been on Desura for some-time and think it's a well built game. I hope this will give them some exposure and funds to expand it.

Shallow Space - Shallow Space is a 3D Real Time Strategy game inspired by Nexus: The Jupiter incident and Homeworld. It looks the part, let's hope the deliver on the Linux promise.

Opinion bit and readers question below
Something to leave this on, how do you feel about games getting greenlit that are still planning to have a Kickstarter as they aren't close to having a releasable version? They may never actually get released and take up the spot of a game that does exist. Is it an issue for you?
For me personally, I would actually prefer it if one of the requirements of greenlight was having a game in a playable state already, it's though enough for indie developers getting exposure as it is, being stuck being possibly hundreds of extremely early alpha-class games must get very disheartening.

Quoting: edoI have the same doubt about why a really cool game as cue club 2 hasn't been greenlighted yet. It's just because its not popular.
Cue Club 2 looks a lot like Arcade Pool, I like it! But where's the Linux version? :P

"I'm afraid no Linux or Mac version initially, but when we get the PC version released, we will certainly look into this, along with the multiplayer."

I'm a biased, but also saddened. I would have preferred games that are at a playable state. Rise of the Ravager isn't even close to be Greenlit :(

Quoting: RobertI must admit I have ignored the DROD games because of the first impression (graphics mainly). I didn't know I can try the first one for free, I promise I will give it a chance.
The sequel, DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold is now on sale for $1,99

Yesterday they had DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale on -80% discount, so it's possible they'll do it for the remaining instalments as well.
