ReignMaker, A City Building Political Strategy Game With Match-3 Tower Defense Combat
By Orkultus, 18 April 2014 at 1:32 am UTC
I am enjoying this game. I like the extra features to a match three puzzle game. Plus its way cheaper than Faeverse.

For some reason it won't let me play in high quality graphics mode. Maybe because I have an AMD card, I dunno.

Star Citizen Space Combat & Trading Sim Will Come To Linux, Chris Roberts States At PAX
By , 17 April 2014 at 9:57 pm UTC
I paid $1250 for Star Citizen. I will NEVER load the game on any platform except Linux. I want to send a message. I will pay top dollar, and only top dollar for Linux AAA tier space simulator gaming. I own Windows and Macintosh platforms as well, but Linux is the only system I want to game on. This news makes me so happy. I'm a massive fan of Wing Commander. I own every Wing Commander game and when Chris announced Star Citizen. I threw money into it. It's great to see loyalty as a fan rewarded with loyalty from the developer. I look forward to seeing the final game. I've basically been waiting 13 years for this.

Humongous Entertainment Release 28 Casual Adventure Games For Linux On Steam
By FrasierCrane, 17 April 2014 at 9:52 pm UTC
Well, Humongous Entertainment was founded by Ron Gilbert (of Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island fame), but I've never played one of this games and I also doubt they are up there with the great 90s adventures.

I remember reading a review of (the first?) one of these from a gaming mag in the early 90s. The seemed to think it was up there with the Monkey Islands and the rest of the best adventure games of the golden age.

Hi there! Andy of the BumpkinBrothers here.

Just wanted to say thanks for the mention and to add a couple of points!

We're almost ready to have split screen in there (just a few more days...)

Also you get two copies for the above price so you can give one to a friend and start playing right away :)

If you have any questions about the game let me know :)
Mojang Offer No Hints As To When Scrolls Will Get The Promised Linux Release
By Dread Knight, 17 April 2014 at 5:55 pm UTC
Well, for who is interested in turn based strategies and card games, I'm making a free open source one playable right from the browser based on Heroes of Might and Magic 3's combat system, but improved. Check out AncientBeast.com - it has some show stopping bugs atm and I don't have a budget for it, but it's constantly improving none the less.

Vlambeer's Procedural Death Labyrinth Nuclear Throne Now Available On Linux, Our Game-play Video

Seen this game before and while I liked it, I was disappointed because it was made with Game Maker and therefor not running on linux. Good to see things are changing :-)
AMD's Mantle May Still Come To Linux, Despite Other Websites Reports
By Samsai, 17 April 2014 at 5:43 pm UTC
Because these comments just can't stay on topic and I fear that the trolling of AMD users will continue, I will now close the comments for this article. If you feel like I am violating your freedom of speech or you wish to continue the discussion, please start a thread on the forum.

Quoting: AnonymousA new Airline Tycoon which doesn't suck like the 2nd one does would be great. Porting the original Airline Tycoon would also make me very happy.

??? Airline Tycoon Deluxe was ported by RuneSoft in 2006 to Linux.

I'm going to guess that they're using ScummVM.

No, I got the separate download from Frogdice, which is why I could install ia32-libs and have everything work right (the devs just posted an update on the Steam thread that your issue was the Steam build missing a lib).

Quoting: OrkultusI think AMD should sell off their GPU section, and just stick to CPUS. At least they do that right.

AMD at the moment lack in CPU horse power and are great in gpu, if they sell the gpu section i don't know if they can compete anymore...

I think I mentioned about staying on topic earlier... We are talking about Mantle, not AMD's hardware.
AMD's Mantle May Still Come To Linux, Despite Other Websites Reports
By oldrocker99, 17 April 2014 at 1:04 pm UTC
In 2009, when the brand-new laptop I'd bought had its ATI chip declared "legacy" by ATI, I vowed to never buy another ATI graphics card again. I have been true to that vow. Hell, even the justly-despised Intel graphics have better GNU/Linux support than ATI, still.
Planets³ Didn't Hit The Linux Stretch Goal, But The Developers Don't Want To Exclude Linux
By , 17 April 2014 at 1:01 pm UTC
Quoting: GNUzelI say we use this page on the Internet as the beacon that shows Linux users' interest. I would buy that game immediately if I saw it released for Linux. Just like I am buying Goat Simulator the moment the Linux one is for sale.

That's me and The Banner Saga. The day I can get The Banner Saga on Linux is the day they get my money. It looks like a fantastic game, and I really want to play it, but not until it's on Linux.

I too dislike the Linux stretch goal. I generally don't support games unless it's going to support Linux upfront.

The new issue of PC Gamer has a big article about the upcoming awesomeness of Tropico 5, and we'll be able to play it on Linux the day it comes out!
Earth: Year 2066 Survival & Adventure Game Released In Steam's Early Access

I am out as well but not because of DayZ or things like that but because of system requirements. My main PC is an AMD E350 with a GeForce 9500GT and well able to run more demanding titles like Xonotic and UT2k4 but I the last time I came across a lot of bad optimized titles like Paranautical Activities or Sir you are being hunted. I am not shure if this is an issue of the graphics engines used but anything that looks identical / worse than UT99 and slows down my AMD E350 will not find its way to my PC.

Don't get me wrong: More games for Linux are great but not if they require much more ressources than equally or better looking games from 6-10 years ago.

Quoting: Speedster
Quoting: AnonymousHow did you get past the first level? It won't let me build the academy. Just takes the money and does nothing. I've sent them a bug report so we will see
Weird, neither of us ran into that bug yet, with a total of 5 towns started so far (some in easy mode, some in normal). In my main town I've got the academy maxed out to level 5 now...

At first I had problems with a crash on start, but that turned out to be just because I hadn't installed the basic x86 libs yet on this 64-bit install and the stained-glass movie part needed one of them (not an obvious dependency shown with 'ldd', but something in ia32-libs must have been needed because installing them solved the problem).

Is this in the steam version? Seems I'm not the only one with this issue
