The more I see of the Areola Controlla the more I want to twiddle with it. Doug, why you no reply to my e-mail?

Just make mah Distance Alpha work!
100 New games Greenlit, 39 claim Linux support
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=188949082
-
This time I went through the list, one by one.
-
Shitty ports of shitty android games
-
More Rogue clones than I care to admit
-
At least 10 Unity games that the devs didn’t feel like clicking export.
-
Looking forward to After Reset, Estranged, Festival of Magic, Pulse and You Are Not The Hero.
-
Steam is now in RPMFusion
http://negativo17.org/steam-is-now-in-rpmfusion/
-
Does the spot repo still work?
-
It was discontinued when Steam went out of beta
-
-
Fixes a stupid bug I was having about it asking me to install Ubuntu packages on Korora. Thumbs up from me!
-
A nice nice to have
L4D2 is a real boy

No more stupid FPS hitching, everything on 11 using the Open Sauce drivers and it works swimmingly! About goddamn time!
-
No linux system requirements as of 10/29
-
Runs the same NTTAWWT
FORCED v1.03
http://steamcommunity.com/games/249990/announcements/detail/1677882912774399262
-
Fixed some issues preventing players from proceeding past the starting screen.
-
Fixed some issues with the mark system not working on Linux.
-
1.4 GB update
-
Ohey, Linux updates!
The Anniversary 1.3.3
http://gunsoficarus.com/community/blog/update-1-3-3-release-notes/
-
I say it again, if they had a publisher like EA or ActiBlizzion this would be called DLC and cost $20. Still doin’ it right!
-
Good to see that they’ve been putting work in improving their game
-
A number of graphical and AI fixes, enhancements and new features.
Shadowrun Returns has moved from Beta to release
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1613260297/shadowrun-returns/posts/646403
-
WHAR keys?
-
As of this recording, you still need to opt in to the beta to play it on linux
-
A little disappointed, it’s not what I had hoped for. Basically it’s ARMA Tactics with a Fantasy/Sci-fi do over. Which is great on its own merit, just not what I had hoped.
-
Its like a little retarded up version of actual shadowrun

I may not like the game, but I like the devs a whole lot more after this.
-
Indeed. Kudos for sticking to your guns.

At this point it’s like Obi-Wan screaming at Anakin

Just die already.

Really, sometimes I buy a bundle for the extra keys. You know, for away of gives.
Once Upon An Apocalypse
-
The Walking Dead council simulator with pixels.

Interesting little browser game.
Leadwerks BETA

The “A Machine For Penguins” competition is now over too. You can find all the entries here: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files/category/19-games/
iRacing claims Linux support, packs .zip containing a .deb with a WINE wrapper
http://www.iracing.com/iracing-adds-linux-to-existing-mac-and-pc-platforms/
-
As if the WINE wrapper wasn’t bad enough, it’s a subscription based MMO racing game.
-
Their Alpha repos: http://alpha.iracing.com/zip/
-
I bet their gamepad support works
-
I’d say so and not just the XBone controller either: http://www.iracing.com/membership/system-requirements/

Honestly, it looks a bit simple but hella nice for a rougelike

They’re good for what they are.

Graphics… Those don’t really matter much on a top down roguelike. If they did Bionic Dues would have to get 5 chairs.
-
I lowered the volume of my mp3s and sat listening to the menu BGM for a good 10 minutes. Very nice job.
-
The NPC quips may get old after awhile, but I’m 21 hours in and they still haven’t.

Everything was tight but figuring out the targeting was a bit obtuse.

It’s a roguelike, the control scheme is intuitive to anyone familiar with the genre and stupid easy to learn by the new players.
-
Was originally going to give it three chairs but they’ve since removed the camera control issue I was having. They literally nuked it out of the game. Thumbs up!

Fun little roguelike. Reminds me of Doom the roguelike a bit.

Verdict –

Is it worth $10? Yes it is! There are plenty of games out there being sold for $60 that don’t deliver anywhere near as much fun as this little game.
