Coming up on this LinuxGameCast Weekly. Steam is coming, Humble Bundle 6 adds four games (we’re still waiting on one). Publishing With Unity and why Ubuntu software center is rubbish. Oh, we also play “find the source” a new game from Phoronix.
P.S.
Stick around for the spoiler filled Doctor Who after show.

Don’t drop the soap – Prison Architect is now in Alpha
http://www.introversion.co.uk/prisonarchitect/
“Hi Venn,
I’m sorry, but there isn’t a timescale on the Linux version just yet. As soon as we know the system requirements, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.”
Pffft! haven’t started on the Linux port.
$30?$30?!Why no demo?Do you pay for alpha games?Have a go at the YT comments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDDzSOS0vzc&feature=player_embedded“We’re more interested in a smaller number of players that are more engaged in what we’re doing, than a huge audience that want to pay less. There’s a quality bar we’re putting in there.
The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus DX – Ubuntu vs Fedora
http://www.zelda-solarus.com/jeu-zsdx-download&lang=en
- Needed to install PHYSFS, modplug, SDL Ttf, SDL Image for source build – sudo apt-get install libenet-dev libphysfs-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libmodplug-dev
- Debs installed without issue.
Hostile Takeover Pre-Alpha demo
http://laserbrainstudios.com/games/
- Keep in mind that this is a very early build of the game with only one test level. It’s also missing a bunch of features, graphics and polish – and may not be 100% stable.
INTRODUCING – Find the source!
We pick an article from Phoronix and try to locate the source without mousing over the links.
