Hello everyone!

The time is approaching to launch our readers Linux - Forum post on GamingOnLinux.com

How about we start Monday off with an interesting little titbit? According to a former Valve staffer, Steam for Linux was started up by ex-Microsoft employees.

SuperTuxKart, one of the stalwarts of the open source gaming space has a fresh new release out with version 1.1.

LunchHouse Software have announced a sort-of documentary focusing on a cancelled Valve game, apparently it was going to be called F-STOP/Aperture Camera and it was a prequel to Portal.

Sipho is a little favourite of mine to keep an eye on, a game where you create a creature from parts inspired by real-life sea creatures (zooids) and attempt to survive against the many other types.

GDevelop is a wonderful up-and-coming free and open source game engine, allowing you to create games using visual event-based programming as opposed to typing everything out line-by-line.

Frictional Games, the developer behind some scary games like SOMA, Penumbra and Amnesia seem to have started teasing that a new game is coming.

Searching through the gold mine of bizarre, slightly weird and downright surreal games buried on itch.io I recently came across the free adventure exploration game The Good Time Garden.

Songs of Syx could be a sleeper hit, currently available as a tech demo for an Early Access releasing coming later this year it's promising to be a pretty huge city-building strategy game with a grand design.

Announced just now during CES 2020, AMD have revealed their Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics cards aimed at being the ultimate 1080p gaming experience.

Lightspeed Studios and NVIDIA continue advancing Quake II RTX, which seems to be turning into an FPS playground of new features built on the classic game.

Godot Engine isn't just good for making games, you can also build applications with it. That's exactly what Orama Interactive are doing with their pixel art sprite editor, Pixelorama.

Today the porting studio Feral Interactive have managed to get The Shadow & The Blade DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER II out for the Linux version.

ShotX Studio (Kontrakt, Riskers) recently released Danger Gazers, a very stylish rogue-lite shooter with a lot to like about it.

With a style that reminds me of a game I played on the Amiga (a name I've long forgotten), Primal Light actually looks really good.

What do you do when you want to keep the mechanics of a game you love alive? If you're developer Yair Morgenstern, you remake it yourself like they did with UnCiv.

Many hardware developers sadly don't provide official drivers for Linux, even when they do there's no decent interface for them. One user got sick of Razer's lack of Linux support for laptops so they made their own driver.

A retro inspired fantasy RPG with a focus on strategic action? With a story? Fates of Ort looks and sounds like it's going to be very interesting to play.
