Humble Indie Bundle 17 released
19 August 2016 at 8:26 pm UTC

Quoting: amelcherHey all,

I did the brand new mac and linux ports for Super TIME Force ULTRA. The drm-free builds up on humble are new and I am updating them with critical fixes along with steam (it is much easier to update humble builds these days). What is up there should be pretty good, but I am working on some compat issues with older hardware as we speak.

<3,
Aaron

Thanks, Aaron! :)

Quoting: ziabiceAm I wrong, or "Super Time Force Ultra" does it's debut on Linux?

You're not wrong:

Quoting: morbiusAll the best games are in the basic package, no reason for me to pay much.

Other than to raise the Linux average and give money to a charity? ;)

Atmospheric, Limbo-esque platformer 'Selma and the Wisp' is released for Linux on Steam

Quoting: herycpmy game crass

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/rio/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

anyone know how to fix this????

I don't think that's related to your crash. As far as I know, Steam always tries to preload that library for both architectures, so you'd see those kind of messages for any game; even those that work.

You might have better luck debugging the issue by trying to run the game outside of Steam.

IndieDB is having another 24 hour giveaway with Linux support, the indie platformer 'Prison Run and Gun'

I bought Hot Guns when it was released for Linux (in December I think). It's a good game, but very challenging, and I haven't gotten very far. What's most interesting about it is the weight mechanics: If you don't carry any guns, you run fast and jump far, but if you pick up one or two weapons, you're gradually slowed down. The levels are designed in a way that it isn't always a good idea, or even possible, to carry guns.

I'm not surprised the games have positive user reviews, but I haven't played the standalone game yet, since I didn't realize it had appeared in my Steam library until last week.

FOX n FORESTS, a very interesting looking 16-Bit style action platformer is on Kickstarter

Quoting: GuestNice, well at least it looks like they've made some progress, I'm just amazed they are taking so long with it but perhaps they have a small dev team.

I think they're mostly just two (or perhaps three) people working on it.

Quoting: GuestSpeaking of which, this is still in development! ^>.<^ Hurry uuuuuppppp lol

I've been following it for what feels like years, and I'm very excited about it too. They launched a new website a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully that means the release isn't too far off:

I'm also a backer of this game. :)

Physics-based 3D puzzler Human: Fall Flat released on Steam for Linux
26 July 2016 at 10:43 pm UTC

Only the style and the ragdoll physics, according to the developer:

QuoteIn case you're interested, the inspiration for the game (not the animation) comes from Portal and Limbo.

I've not played Gang Beasts yet, but it's a fighting game, whereas this is a puzzle game.

Trial by Viking released for Linux, a 2D platformer with minor puzzle elements, some thoughts

Is it as fast-paced as it looks like in the trailer?

Quoting: PublicNuisanceThere's a DRM free version on Itch.io as well.

It even has a Linux demo there. :)
