Interview With Stefan Achatz Developer Of ROCCAT Gaming Hardware Drivers For Linux

Quoting: WorMzyThis article has made me consider getting a Ryos MK Pro to replace my Logitech G110. I wonder if they would make one with a dvorak-uk keyboard layout, or if the keys can be easily swapped around..
Why not pop ROCCAT an email? Employees there have been quick to respond in my experience. Mention this article while you're at it!

Sanctum 2 Mixes FPS with Tower Defence & It's Being Ported To Linux

Quoting: GuestI don't think Sanctum 1 will get a port, I think Ryan was just working on porting 2. Besides if they were releasing both, you'd think they'd port 1 first before 2, so if you have both in your Steam inventory but only 2 is showing up on Linux, I'd lose hope that 1 is ever coming.
I hope that logic doesn't apply to The Witcher as well. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is allegedly making its way to Linux, and chances of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt coming to Linux are increasing as well, but what about The Witcher? Left 4 Dead bugs me as well with Left 4 Dead 2 already being on Linux.
Yeah, of course any situation where the earlier games were popular in their own ways and have their own merits so there are gamers wanting them, they should consider them. Fact is though if a newer game is an improvement in most areas over an older one so that there is a lot more demand for it than the older one, chances are much lower for seeing a port since at that point you're talking about a percentage of a percentage. Since Linux now has enough demand to put it over the threshold for seeing some good ports, that first hump has been crossed, but good luck getting over those extra humps...

That having been said, the future will be much different, since now with most big game engines being multi-platform from the start and Linux just being another click of a button, these porting problems will go away and you'll see much easier Linux releasing, no more humps to deal with for the most part.

Except for me and the penguin. God I love Linux. >:3
I'll just give my money to those who bother, like Frozenbyte with Trine.

Balrum Open World Fantasy RPG With Building Beta Launched, Works On Linux

That actually looks interesting to me. I love the art style this game is going for as it heavily reminds me of my beloved Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I am not much into crafting, though, so hopefully this game caters to my tastes as well.

Hellraid Action RPG Could See a Linux Version After Launch
27 March 2014 at 10:02 pm UTC

Quoting: ApopasYet another one ACTION RPG like this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one... And all these from 2014 threads only and we still have March...
No room for true RPGs anymore :(
Clicked all of your links and not one looked like the other. What is a true RPG anyway? A computer RPG? There are many different types of RPGs but that one seems to be one of if not the original definition of a RPG, as opposed to an action RPG, a strategy RPG, and so on.

It certainly looks good! I hope it's fun to play as well and that the developers do a good job bringing it over to Linux! Remember, don't buy the title until the game is actually available for Linux.
