Games Leftovers

• Try your hand at building a village in a harsh environment as 'Seeds of Resilience' is now on Linux

  Seeds of Resilience looks like it could be quite interesting, it's a village builder that's turn-based as you battle against the elements.

• The hilarious action-RPG Super Cane Magic ZERO had a huge update, final release is nearing

  Super Cane Magic ZERO is a comedy action-RPG that I'm really quite fond of and the developer recently pushed out a major update. They're getting close to the final release now, which is quite exciting.

• Vehicle battle game 'Robocraft' is now completely lootbox-free

  I'm a big fan of Robocraft, a free game where you build your own vehicle and battle with it. Now even more so, since they've removed the last traces of lootboxes.

• Darkest Dungeon: The Color Of Madness DLC is now out

  Darkest Dungeon: The Color Of Madness DLC brings quite a bit of new content to the gothic roguelike and it's now officially out.

• Game store itch is having a big summer sale

  For those who want to show their support for the smaller game store itch.io, now might be a good time as they're doing their own summer sale.

• The Way of Life: DEFINITIVE EDITION is now available on Linux

  The Way of Life: DEFINITIVE EDITION officially arrived on Linux yesterday. A story-based game that aims to tackle some serious themes. A game that's supposed to make you think a little, sometimes we do need to slow down a bit.

• Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! had an absolutely huge content update

  Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! is a challenging and surprisingly good restaurant sim that just had a whopper of an update. Really fantastic to see it continue to have such big updates. The "Barista Update" went live this week, which has added in twenty-four new food and drink items. As the update name would suggest, a lot of these are coffee-shop type items including various forms of Lattes, milkshakes, Tea and so on.

• The shoot 'em up 'Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo' is now available on Linux

  Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo is probably one of the most insane shoot 'em ups I've ever played and it's now on Linux. They announced a call for testers only a day ago which was an opt-in beta, but they've already pushed the Linux version out officially. I had a chance to try it after speaking to the publisher who joined our Discord to have a little chat about it.

• Free and open source racer 'Yorg' has a new build out with experimental multiplayer

  Remember Yorg? The free and open source racer I showed a little of back in March has a fresh update out with experimental multiplayer.

• Reverse engineered source code for Diablo is now on GitHub

  This is a bit of a surprise! Someone going by the name 'GalaXyHaXz' has put up source code for the original Diablo that was apparently reverse engineered called 'Devilution'. It doesn't have the data, so you do need a copy of the original to work it.

• Prime Mover, an open-ended puzzle game about designing circuit boards adds Linux support

  You all love your programming puzzle games right? Prime Mover is a puzzle game about designing circuit boards and it's now on Linux. I have to admit, after basically falling in love with Opus Magnum from Zachtronics, I'm quite keen to try out more games like it. Prime Mover certainly looks the part and it seems users are liking it on Steam.

• X-Plane Flight Simulator Reports Linux Users At Just About 1%

  - Laminar Research has published their latest usage statistics on the incredible X-Plane flight simulator software. Most interesting to us on these stats for this leading flight simulator are the OS usage numbers... These numbers put their Windows market-share at 62.2%, 36.9% for macOS, and just 0.9% for Linux. Their macOS user-base is huge in relation to Windows but the Linux use remains understandably quite low.

Google’s Fuchsia Adds Emulator for Running Linux Apps

Google has added a Guest app to its emergent and currently open source Fuchsia OS to enable Linux apps to run within Fuchsia as a virtual machine (VM). The Guest app makes use of a library called Machina that permits closer integration with the OS than is available with typical emulators, according to a recent 9to5Google story. Last month, Google announced a Project Crostini technology that will soon let Chromebook users more easily run mainstream Linux applications within a Chrome OS VM. This week, Acer’s Chromebook Flip C101 joined the short list of Chromebooks that will offer Linux support later this year.
