Jonathan Blow reveals what it would take for him to develop for Linux
Despite a solid following, you don’t hear much about development for Linux operating systems. Jonathan Blow, best known for top indie titles Braid and The Witness, explains what it would take for him to develop for Linux.
The discussion emerged after Ben Golus talked about the release of Planetary Annihilation on Linux. In terms of sales, Linux represented less than 0.1 percent. But at the same time, 20 percent of auto reported crashes and support tickets came from that tiny number of Linux users.

Corona labs goes open source and developers are nervous
Corona Labs, which provides a free cross-platform mobile development tool used to create 2D applications, has announced that after years of planning, the Corona game engine will finally be released as an open-source project. Corona Labs expects that by making their engine an open-source project, issues like adaptation to sudden market changes, updates, and requirements from app stores, along with troubleshooting bugs in their source code, will be swifter and more efficient than ever before. Feedback from the community will help ensure that the platform continues to remain relevant no matter what market shifts take place.
According to Vlad Sherban, product manager for Corona Labs, "The transition of Corona to the open source model of development has been our long-term vision since Corona Labs was acquired by Appodeal in 2017. We believe that this move will bring transparency to the development process, and will allow users to contribute features or bug fixes to make the project better for everyone.”
