Another small Steam Client Beta is up, better support for NTFS mounts on Linux
Another Steam Client Beta update went live yesterday, as Valve continue to polish up the experience.

Drink More Glurp looks like a truly hilarious party game coming to Linux
I see Drink More Glurp as one of those games that's going to cause a lot of laughter and shouting as it does look rather amusing.

OpenTTD, the open source simulation game based on Transport Tycoon Deluxe has a new release
OpenTTD continues to mature for those who love their building and business sims, with the first major release in a year now available.

KeeperRL had a rather game-changing update recently with the addition of Z-levels
KeeperRL, a dungeon simulator with a mixture of roguelike and RPG mechanics had another massive update at the end of last month.
One of the biggest additions to the game in a long time, is the introduction of Z-levels. You're no longer confined to a flat space to build, since you can dig deep to get extra resources, encounter new enemies and more. This really does change how you play the game quite a lot, giving you so much more breathing room to make a massive dungeon, it's going to keep me coming back a lot more.

The elegant puzzle game Jetstream is now available on Steam with Linux support
Puzzle games don't get much more streamlined than this, Jetstream has a very easy-going atmosphere combined with super simple controls making it easy to get into.
Developed by Clockwork Acorn, it was originally called Streamline and made for the Ludum Dare 34 game jam event in 2015. It ranked pretty highly, in the top 10 in fact and so they starting working on making it into a full game in 2017.

The game store itch.io is launching a developer jobs board
If there's one thing I love about itch.io, it's how they really do work to help game developers in as many ways as they can and they're now launching a job listing board.
It's not enough that they: host game jams; have an open source client (that you're not forced to use); allow developers to give back nothing and take the full cut of sales; support Linux, Mac and Windows; allow developers to do a PWYW system instead of a set price; deal with VAT MOSS for you and the list goes on for a while.
