I don't know if it's because I have a EU account, but I can't even post in that forum thread. I did get Diablo III when it was released, but I've since stopped using Windows altogether and I'm done with Blizzard until they release anything for Linux. If I need a Diablo "fix" I can play Torchlight II instead.

I agree that talking down on developers/publishers for not supporting Linux is extremely unproductive though. No one is getting rich by making games for Linux (yet), and we definitely need all the goodwill we can get.

I don't play many action platformers but this one looks awesome.

I played Evoland when it was released for Windows a couple of years ago and I really liked it. As an RPG it's pretty bare-bones, but it has some nice puzzles and a neat boss fight, and I had a lot of fun finding hidden collectibles and trying to recognize all the references.

Yeah, they've gotten a lot better at their naming conventions lately. If you read through the whole thing though, you'll find this at the bottom:

Just a minor slip-up though.

I think the basic idea is that herbivores are good and carnivores are bad, but not all animals fit that pattern. Maybe it's more that "cute" animals are good.

I really like the sort of low-poly graphics look too. Not sure if it's my kind of game though. Would love to see them port Pid to Linux, as that's a pretty unique platformer with some devilish boss-fights.

I've been itching to check this game out for a while. Will probably wait until there's more content in it though.

QuoteThe time i'll shit a brick is when EA/Ubisoft release games on SteamOS. :)

Outland is out for Linux with the Ubisoft logo, that's a start.

Would love to see Grow Home made available for Linux too. And Beyond Good and Evil of course.

I think we ended up skipping it since it was covered in a separate article by BTRE.

Here's one that slipped by me that looks interesting but seems very unlikely to get funded at this point: Sneaky Ninja, a stealth/action platformer, inspired by games like Mario and Mark of the Ninja (and supposedly Thief and Dishonoured, though I don't see any similarities there). It has already been greenlit on Steam, but they're less than half of the way to their $10K goal on Kickstarter with a little over a week to go.
