Welcome to the Linux Gamers group. This group is governed by people interested in using the Linux operating system for gaming or game creation. Since quite some time Linux is no more a niche product hostile to advanced and demanding games. With big companies like IDSoftware releasing their games also for Linux the interest and acceptance of this system has grown over time. In comparison to other systems Linux offers a couple of unique features as well as particularities and troubles when it gets down to gaming. It's the goal of this club to promote and support Linux gaming.


Let the games begin :D

Hello LinuxGamers,

Our tug of war strategy game Aeon Command is available on Linux. We were only able to test against Ubuntu 12.10, so interested in feedback of how it works with other distributions. We're using Unity3D 4.0 so we're hoping it'll work for most distros.

Link: Desura.com

Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey, Today I released a version of my game ReversE for Linux and is available to buy for the nominal sum of 69 Great British Pence! It is also completely DRM free! The game should work on all modern forms of Linux as stated by Unity Technologies group! Check it out over here Indiedb.com and let me know what you think!

Yes, Desura is sleeping. It's now more or less Desurium but if they can't get it fixed to compile on a standard Linux machine I don't see it taking off anymore. The project sort of lost "direction" which is a problem.

This is so disheartening it hurts. I like Desura a lot, and I really, REALLY hope Desurium takes off somehow, but they're already having problems finding Windows coders. If Desura dies, we'll just have Steam and just on certain distros, which I am NOT okay with. :/

Correction... Steam with integrated DRM and RootKit. No sane person should allow that crap on it's computer anyways... no matter if Linux or Windows.

Steam, Unity, probably Source... it's nice to see developers supporting our OS of choice. And who knows what the future will bring.
