Are you sure Lively Ivy and Ivy Games LLC (Gravity Ghost) aren't two different companies? If they are the same developer, I might give it a look, but I haven't found confirmation of this. I found Gravity Ghost to be a wonderful game and experience.

I meant Erin Robinson specifically, and yeah, I'm pretty sure. If not, she has done nothing to correct the association in a dozen interviews I've read. Puzzle Bots is a neat puzzle game with a story about friendship. It's nowhere near as deep and emotional as Gravity Ghost though.

A Look At What Linux Games We Will See In 2015 And Beyond

Quoting: aLI dont know about you guys, but im really looking forward to the end of the blackwell saga. Blackwell deception and blackwell epiphany.

Wadjet Eye Games said they were coming soon...
http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/2014/09/23/blackwells-1-3-part-humble-bundle-android/ (you can find it on the comments here)

They will come out on 2015... and im still waiting!!! hurry up Wadjet Eye Games!!!

Yeah, me too. The Linux builds of the first three games were in testing for several months though, so it's hard to say how long it might take. They are also very conscious of their marketing, so it's possible that they try to hold out for a bundle again or something to make sure they get the most out of their Linux débuts. Primordia is also already ported, so that should come this year too.

In addition to that, there's Puzzle Bots (by the creator of Gravity Ghost by the way) and Resonance, which might get (or are?) ported. I seem to recall reading that Da New Guys won't get ported, and Emerald City Confidential definitely won't.

With Technobabylon, Shardlight and Automaticity, that's anywhere between 3 and 8 WEG games that might release on Linux this year, which is pretty great no matter what.

Really looking forward to Heart Forth, Alicia and Red Goddess. Also Technobabylon (and possibly Shardlight and Automaticity) from Wadjet Eye Games and PONCHO. Both Technobabylon and PONCHO have spring 2015 as their ETAs.

Yeah, me too. Just noticed your Greenlight URL is wrong and links to a project called Lethis. Here's the correct URL:

The Greenlight campaign is strangely for "PC" only, but I asked the developer about it on Twitter a few days ago and they said the Linux (and Mac) build should be ready before release. It would probably be a good idea to add those platforms to the project though.

Yes, you are. Didn't realize you had an account here. Why we're they so hesitant to add the notes? Doesn't seem like it should be such a big deal to them and it's a nice way of giving credit where credit is due to a great project.

Apotheon 2D Action Platformer Fully Released For Linux

Yeah, GOG uses your browser's user agent to determine which system requirements to display at least. When you browse the site with a browser on Linux you'll only see Linux system requirements by default, while Windows and Mac system requirements are hidden under a collapse. Setting your user agent to something gibberish actually results in no system requirements at all being displayed, so there's no default OS.

Quoting: RobertI'm very happy to see ScummVM credited in GOG. It was one of the few things I didn't like about this store.

Someone pointed out to me yesterday that GOG has also included the same text and link to ScummVM on previously added games. It's not always as visible though, since some games, like Sam & Max: Hit the Road, use a different info template and has it hidden under a collapse with system requirements for different OSes.

Quoting: BeemerHere's a couple more kickstarters:

[...]

Underworld: Ascendant
This is a sucessor to Ultima: Underworld. Looks like it could be fantastic, but it's only Linux/Mac if a 750k stretch goal is reached. I'm somewhat worried this will be another Carmageddon.


Beemer

We decided not to include that in our write-up since it already got a nice article by BTRE. I've been burned by Linux stretch goals myself, so these days I only back such campaigns after the goal has already been reached.

Nice. :) I've been looking forward to this one, but didn't realize it was so close to release.
