Kickstarter is a machine to build dreams. Whether it’s funding the publication of a novel, production of a movie, or the manufacture of, say, a little bike light, the site has proven time and time again that ideas – dreams, let’s say – cannot be deferred.
Now the company is at a crossroads.
You might have already read about The KickStarter Indie Bundle which includes 9 games (some of which were kickstarter projects that didn’t reach their goal).
I’ve checked the games about the possibility of a GNU/Linux client, and 5 titles will support GNU/Linux :
Metagolf , Ensign-1 , Christmas Magic , TRI (possibly), Silversword 2 (the developers promised a GNU/Linux client if funded,
A Few years ago I’ve pre-ordered the meta time strategy game Achron which I’ve posted about 2 years ago. This month Achron was finally released and I was happy to learn that an additional serial number was supplied for a giveaway – I’ve contacted Chris Hazard the developer of the game and he said that [...]

A cool new game is available for Tegra devices and it’s called Auralux, from Wardrum Studios. Some of you might be familiar with it since it has been available for the PC for a while now. If you aren’t, let me first say that this isn’t going to blow you away with mind blowing graphics, but trust me it will give you hours of fun.
One of the most popular classic adventure game series 'Broken Sword' is coming up with a new game.
Titled 'Broken Sword - The Serpent's Curse Adventure', the game is currently on kickstarter. The series has such a huge fan following that it has raised around $130k in less than 24 hours.
Thanks to arvd for sending this in! FleetCOMM : Operation Vigrior is a Kickstarter indie game worth checking out. It’s a real-time strategy game introducing a novel gameplay mechanic. Instead of fumbling over disorganized blobs of units, the player controls a synchronized squad of ships. They’ve been very supportive of Linux game development; they already [...]
Jack Houston And The Necronauts kickstarter campaign was a success, however after the campaign was over the $10k backer backed down from his pledge leaving the campaign short by 2k from it’s goal.
Luckily they still managed to get most of the money (~54k) from Kickstarter/Amazon – but they still need to reach their goal.

Living in the digital age is a privilege. All the content you could want, whether it’s music, video, games, or apps, is at the tip of your fingers every time you fire up the old MacBook or iPad.
