A little treat today folks as I had a chance to talk with Michael Blair from Aspyr Media on a few different bits relating to Linux gaming and their Civilization V port.

Today is a good day. I had the pleasure of speaking to Feral Interactive on their porting work for the Linux version of XCOM and games in general and here it is in all its glory.

For today we have a special one for you! I had the chance to speak to Paul Allen of Zero Point Software about their Interstellar Marines now that it has gained a Linux launch!

Aspyr Media have quite clearly proven themselves at porting to Linux with a port that works this well, but the bigger news is that they may have more to come.

The Funding Crowd is celebrating its first birthday! As a present we are bringing you something new: an interview with Daniel Swiger, who at the moment is crowdfunding his project Chronicles of the Rift.

Pawel Miechowski & Jakub Kowalski from 11bit Studios were very kind in taking time out of their extremely busy schedule of developing This War Of Mine to answer a few burning questions. They also let us know about their just released digital distribution platform.

Mutant Factions, a fast-paced top-down shooter is free, it has multiplayer, it has sick abilities, vehicles, and guns. It just reached 1.0 version, which means it is ready to expand. I interviewed the developer! Check it out.

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?

Planets³ is a 3D open-world voxel-based RPG (first person view) on Kickstarter. It was over-funded, but sadly it didn't hit the Linux stretch goal. Thankfully the developers won't be excluding Linux gamers.

Running With Rifles is a top-down tactical shooter that has hooked me in badly. If you haven't checked it out already now is a good time to do so.

Today I have been lucky enough to chat with Alexei Baidalo of StarGem Inc. I got down to the nitty-gritty about their space MMO.

Pretty fun news today guys! Defenders Quest 2, a game that will fully support Linux, will use some theme music by Nobuo Uematsu, who worked on the Final Fantasy series of games.

I saw quite a few people upset that Carmageddon: Reincarnation's early access release is Windows only despite them hitting the Linux stretch goal in their previous crowdfunding campaign. So, I decided to quiz them on it.

I took some time to have a chat with Stefan Achatz who took it upon himself to write drivers and interfaces for ROCCAT gaming hardware to make sure they work on Linux.

I got in touch with 11bit Studios about how the Linux version of their new game This War Of Mine will happen and luckily for us the answer is a good one.
