Flower Shop: Summer In Fairbrook Released On Steam For Linux
By nullzero, 17 May 2014 at 3:09 am UTC
Quoting: WorMzyI'm afraid this looks like a subpar flash game that wouldn't be out of place on a early 2000's free online game site. I don't think I'll be paying $20 for this.

Actually its made in Ren'Py so it uses a visual novel engine and is a bit more fleshed out than flash game.

Quoting: Xpanderhmm.. unity3d ...
thats what im scared about... unity3d hasnt been good for FPS games so far... but theres hope that this one is better... unity5 should deliver better perf as well.

What have been the issues with unity3d FPSs? I've been playing a the alpha of Gunscape also a FPS though I get some freezes in linux.

As for Superhot... yeahh.. loved the prototype and almost forgot about it!

"Hyperion Entertainment soon back in the port of video games?
by arnaudk
on 02/05/2014 6:12 3 Comments Comments
The company Hyperion Entertainment, specializes in the maintenance of Amiga OS , focused in his time a large number of games on the Amiga , but also some tracks on Mac OS and Linux (Sin , Shogo MAD Gorky 17).
According to reliable sources , Hyperion Entertainment plans to republish its flagship title Shogo MAD adopting Linux platform Desura distribution. The current version of Shogo MAD poorly or not work with recent distributions.

Just like RuneSoft , it is not there to bring a new title , but adapted to today's requirements.

Nothing confirmed for Sin (which does not work at all) and Gorky 17 ( it was distributed by Linux Game Publishing)

Answer in a few months.

Quotea dating and farming simulation game, yup those two genres have actually been merged
Haven't you played the Harvest Moon series? Oh man, you're missing out!

Rune Factory (a spin off) took it a step further and shoehorned dungeons, monsters, magic and crafting in too!

I'm afraid this looks like a subpar flash game that wouldn't be out of place on a early 2000's free online game site. I don't think I'll be paying $20 for this.

Quoting: hardpenguinSince it is by authors of Castle Crashers I wanna see Castle Crashers on Linux!

I'd probably buy Castle Crashers again (had it on Xbox 360) if it came to Linux.

Hive Board Game Adaption To Hit Linux Soon
By salantrax, 16 May 2014 at 1:45 pm UTC
Looks fantastic!

Reason to buy a Steam-controller, even. Very interesting with these types of games (couch/MP friendly!) for the PC.

I can see these type of things need to turn up, for the couch/desk gaming worlds to merge a bit.

Castle Crashers was the most fun I've had playing co-op in a long time, but I confess I'm not excited about BattleBlock Theater.

Vulture For Nethack On Steam's Greenlight For Linux
By Superuser, 16 May 2014 at 11:53 am UTC
I encourage everyone to vote against this. If you are on #rgrd on QuakeNet or listen to Roguelike Radio (an excellent podcast), you know that NetHack has some very serious design flaws that are partially a product of how it was developed, and partially due to its age (it's a 'second generation' roguelike through and through).

At this point, it really brings down the roguelike genere. That is why I recommend against allowing this through. Brogue and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are much better examples of roguelikes and very much exist in the third geneation. In defence of good game design and gameplay, I recommend against voting in NetHack.
Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren`s Call Hidden Object Game Released On Steam For Linux
By Liam Dawe, 16 May 2014 at 8:35 am UTC
Hidden object games have been around long before iphones as well. They tend to be better on PC anyway as hidden object games on such a small screen are horrible to play or too easy.

Quoting: BeamboomThis is a iPhone game. I seriously wish Steam should add a filter to their interface where we could just filter out all those mobile phone games being thrown after us as "new releases" these days.

Personally I consider these to be pure pollution.

I couldn't agree less. These games are made for PC and only after that get their phone/tablet version. See their latest game, it's currently only available for Windows and Mac: http://www.artifexmundi.com/page/piraci3/

Besides I played two of them and they are fully featured and enjoyable games, with proper interface, unlike some of the notorious ports of mobile games, like Luxuria Superbia or Finding Teddy.

Maybe if Steam indeed marked such ports (it's been requested for a while now), you wouldn't be tempted to form such unfounded opinions.

I love simple games like this (why I'm a big fan of Red Eclipse). Once this semester's over and I have time for games again I'll be shucking out a few dollars for this one!

Really does. It's like Alpha Centauri with modern graphics. I'm getting it. Although I'm still looking forward to the new Civ/Alpha C.
