I just noticed that the "Upcoming" tab on the front page doesn't filter by OS unlike the other tabs. And the full list of upcoming releases doesn't show anything at all for Linux or Mac.

Ibb & Obb Coming To Linux Soon, Developer Looking For Testers

Oh, yes! I've been waiting for this one (though I thought the developer was going to post in the Linux request thread on the Steam forums when they made a version available for testing).

Beyond Gravity Casual Platformer Released On Steam

I played this for a bit yesterday and it was pretty fun. As Liam wrote it doesn't have a ton of depth but there's a bunch of goals and upgrades to reach for. Can see myself picking it up for short sessions every now and then.

Blackwell Games Make Their Debut On Linux In Humble Bundle: PC And Android 11

Quoting: DrMcCoy
Quoting: abelthorneThere was already a functional port of the AGS engine for Linux that was released about one year ago.
Yeah, it was actually done by the AGS community after Chris Jones FLOSS'd the engine: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags

I seem to recall reading somewhere at some point that the Humble guys were working on their own branch of AGS independently from the community maintained branch. Though I'm not sure why. And I get the impression from Janet's answer above that WEG will be handling the Linux build themselves using the community version for A Golden Wake:
QuoteWe're planning to do this for A Golden Wake, which will be out for PC, Mac, and Linux on October 9. It's easy enough now the AGS engine port is done; we just need to wrap the same build as we use on PC into the Mac and Linux AGS runtime.

Quoting: edoCool, but, are this games good?

I've played the first four games and I think they're easily some of the best point-and-click adventures of recent years. Your mileage may vary though, and it depends on whether or not you like classic point-and-click games to begin with.

I don't have any experience with it myself and don't know how mature it is, but FIFE seems like it might fit the bill for what they're looking for in an isometric RPG engine.

I had a ton of fun with SteamWorld Dig, so this is great news. I don't have a ton of experience with turn-based combat though, so I hope it's accessible enough that I'm able to get into and have fun with it.

Quoting: NyamiouI don't like The Bridge, I buy this game during the sales but it's too easy and quite boring.

I guess you didn't play very far then?
