A new build of Retro-Pixel Castles is available, has a new launcher for Linux and a whole new interface

Retro-Pixel Castles really is quite awesome (seriously, go try it!) and now even more so. The developer has included a Linux launcher bundled with Java to remove any issues for Linux users. Oh, it also has a flashy new interface.

If you don't remember the game: It's essentially a village builder with god sim-like elements. You have a world map to build and look after multiple villages and it's just damn lovely.

Take a look at how damn fancy it is now:

Note: That is zoomed out, the map isn't always that tiny.

On top of sorting a new UI, a bundled launcher with Java for Linux and the graphical increase it had a while ago this is easily one of my favourite Early Access games. The developer has such devotion to the game and the fans it's awesome.

You can find Retro-Pixel Castles on itch.io. It looks a little out of date on itch, but comes with a free Steam key it seems. Or go straight to Steam, your call! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
