• Kubifaktorium looks like a mix between a city-builder and Factorio, coming to Linux

  Thanks to a tip from madpinger in our Discord Channel, we were shown Kubifaktorium [Official Site]. It looks like a pretty interesting mix of a city-builder with elements of Factorio. Developed by Mirko Seithe, the same developer who made BossConstructor which also supports Linux. Kubifaktorium was announced back in May and it seems quite far along, so I'm surprised we've only just heard about it!

• Don't Bite Me Bro! is a free 1-4 player co-op open-world zombie apocalypse game with Linux support

  Fancy a bit of local co-op action in an open world with a zombie apocalypse setting? Don't Bite Me Bro! [Official Site] is free.

• Silly single-player FPS 'Ravenfield' adds in parachutes, a kill cam, transport helicopter and more

• Naval RTS 'Victory At Sea Pacific' to have over 120 types of ships and planes

  Victory At Sea Pacific is sounding like it's going to be a pretty big game in terms of content, as the developer has announced many of the ships and planes that will be in their new naval RTS. They announced their plan is to have over 120 ship types and planes. Going over the list, it seems they have quite a varied and tasty menu of what the game will have from big battleships to torpedo boats, submarines, aircraft carriers and much more.

  MoonQuest is a new procedurally-generated adventure game from developer Wizard Mode, one that looks a little like Terraria and it's coming to Linux.

  There's a few games that allow you to run your own company, with City Game Studio [Official Site] allowing you to build up your own video game company.

It seems like they will run a closed-beta for select people, rather than go to Early Access as they're aiming to put out a finished and polished game.
