Title: Autonauts - free, modern, actively developed game for Linux!
Post by: Vera on November 07, 2017, 12:21:01 PM
Hey guys and gals, I like it when gaming devs support the Linux platform natively. Just wanted to let you know about Autonauts if you haven't heard about it yet - it's a world-building game - If you like Factorio / Kerbal Space Program / Minecraft you'll probably love it. I wanted to share the info since I know that some of you like Linux games. You can find it over at https://denki.itch.io/autonauts (https://denki.itch.io/autonauts). I haven't had a chance to get to play it myself yet, but it looks pretty awesome and well-thought-out.

They state they are committed to developing for Linux but that they lack testers:

Also, the Linux version is still untested by us (because we don't have Linux) but feedback so far suggests that it's working well enough, so we'll keep supplying a Linux version with every update :)

- from the Autonauts website referenced above).

FYI - They're also in the middle of Kickstarter campaign, interestingly, which offers some pretty neat perks like some extra votes in dev polls, etc etc. (If you're interested in checking that out, it's at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1491793990/autonauts (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1491793990/autonauts).)

Anyhow, it's nice to see people actually actively developing modern games for Linux in the here-and-now, as opposed to just porting old games over (although there's nothing wrong with that either!)

LOL you forgot to quote so you have no evidence that I really did that
Anyway thanks for pointing that out ... didn't mean to be rude in my older post

PS  tried many games from itch store and it's very good ... why don't add it to lite software as that steam doesn't work anymore for 32bit Linux oses thanks

yes sure.

we were talking about adding itch io to the lite software ... I want to add that its a store of songs, tools, programs, too. also, it filters its content into the current os and launcher for ex Linux 32-bit compatible software only

Thanks @Jerry and @MohamedKhaled - no worries. That's an interesting discussion raised about itch.io for Linux.
