Ballistic Overkill, an online class-based FPS recently released Linux support, but it was another we totally missed. I picked up a copy and took a look.

Red Comrades Save the Galaxy: Reloaded is a remaster of a 1998 point & click adventure game that was rebuilt for Unity and it is now available on Linux & SteamOS too.

Apparently Rotorcross is becoming a thing where you race drones and it actually sounds like a pretty cool idea for a game. The code is open source too, but it's built with Unity.

The Unity3D editor for Linux has been updated once again to bring it up to speed with the Windows version.

Google is currently doing their big I/O developer conference today and Unity developers are attending. It seems Vulkan is firmly in their sights.

The folks Unity3D are currently doing a "HackWeek" when they work on special projects. It looks like the Linux team are working on using SDL instead of X11 directly which will bring Mir & Wayland support amongst other things.

Kerbal Space Program 1.1 is a pretty big update, and the name "Turbo Charged" seems quite fitting for such an update.

Among the Sleep is the first-person horror adventure where you're playing as a toddler—it's freaky. The developers have updated the game to Unity 5, and now it's all fixed up for Linux I could take a proper look.

VoidExpanse is a really cool space action RPG I've talked about a few times, and they recently updated the game which has fixed some major Linux issues.

I don't normally cover Kickstarters, but The Wild Eight not only looks like a decent survival game, the game is planned for Linux day-1 too.

7 Days to Die recently released Alpha 14, and with it came broken graphics for Linux gamers. The developers are asking for logs to help them narrow down what's causing it. It sounds very familiar to me.

If you didn't know already, Unity games tend to phone home details of what you're running. They release this data, and it shows Linux is a pretty low percentage of gamers.

I came across another one of my weird issues recently. In Unity3D games when running them my mouse pointer would just flash or flicker, and I found a simple solution.

Greetings developers, just to let you know that Unity have now added Linux builds of the fresh 5.4 beta. They have also updated the stable build with core OpenGL fixes, as it was quite broken.

It's really good to see Unity working on improving performance, and the Unity 5.4 beta looks like it includes some pretty nice features to give improved performance.

Police Infinity claims it isn't "yet another Unity FPS" and it has my hopes up a little bit. It doesn't look too bad, and the animations in first person look quite nice too. It's due to enter Early Access soon.

Mixing funk and forklifts in an unusual combination, Funklift is a local multiplayer game still under development. Due to friendly prodding, the developers have also released alpha builds for Linux.

Just a heads up folks, Parkitect is currently broken on Linux due to heavy graphical glitches, so if you were thinking about picking it up I would hold off until we can give the all clear.

Albion Online is going to be something big when it's fully released, I'm sure of it. This update shows me how much they are listening to the community (within reason) too.

I was really hoping to give Torment: Tides of Numenera a go, but it seems I won't be able to since they have launched without Linux support right now. They aren't sure if it will get a Linux version during Early Access or after the final release.
