The Funding Crowd 40

Yeah, InnerSpace looks great. I don't think I've ever pledged for so many of the games that have been written up for TFC. I guess it's a good thing for my wallet that December traditionally is a slower month in crowd-funding. There's already a couple of interesting campaigns for next time though.

Jane Jensen's 'Moebius' Finally Appears To Be Arriving For Linux

I played the first alpha before I ditched Windows and Wine (except for some applications, like Teamviewer) and it has some very interesting puzzle mechanics. They were pretty rough too and not very enjoyable at that point, but promising at least. I know many people have enjoyed the complete game too, so I'm hopeful.

I'll let you know what I think once I've played the beta.

Always Sometimes Monsters, A 2D Story Driven Adventure Coming To Linux

Quoting: VagabondDog So, mkxp works on RPG Maker XP no problem, but we built ASM in VX Ace, which mkxp doesn't support. Thankfully though, with the help of some talented people we've been able to overcome this hurdle and should have something for all you penguins very very soon.

Always nice to hear from the developer. :) Glad to hear you've been able to work around it. As far as I understood from that Steam thread it is the developer of mkxp who has been helping you out? Hopefully that means the effort made in porting Always Sometimes Monsters might also benefit other games built in VX Ace.

I Am Bread - You Will Finally Be Able To Fulfil Your Most Desired Dream

Quoting: MetallinatusWell, I personally liked what I've seen from this game and I do like Goat Simulator too.... as long as you have enough stuff to do or to explore it can be fun.

Yeah, the exploration and sandbox aspects are certainly what appeals to me in games like these. I've played games like Probably Archery and Surgeon Simulator too, but the novelty of the concept wears off quickly in games like those for me.

I bought Goat Simulator the day it was released for Linux and I'll do the same with this one.

Quoting: sonicGuys, I had Steam survey on Linux yesterday...for first time :p

I got it yesterday too. First time this year I think, except the few times I've used Steam under Wine.

I will definitely get this one once it's ported.

Quoting: StianTheDarkGreat! Now, GTA 5. Do you ever think they will port that?

Should be trivial with mkxp if it's made with RPG Maker. :P

There's also a Humble Widget pre-order option which comes with a Steam key. It's a bit more expensive at the moment though.

Quoting: ApopasLooks pretty fun, but only for Steam? :(

Looks like it. The developer's website has no mention of any other purchase options.
