Phoronix: Good News Out Of Unigine's Linux Game Competition

Last month the company behind the very advanced Unigine Engine launched a Linux game development competition whereby they would give away a free license to the game development team that came up with the best game idea and would provide a native Linux game client. Submissions for this contest ended on Friday...

Thank you Unigine!! I'm very looking forward to 2011

I also believe Steam will eventually come to Linux, you don't have to be a clairvoyant to know that... Let Michael put some pressure, there is nothing wrong with that.

It's not pressure as it's already coming.

You do realize valve implicitly denied these claims.

You do realize valve implicitly denied these claims.

That right there is proof enough for me.

Oh yes, I am well aware of what their public statement was when they denied a Linux client at that time.

If there are gonna be 3 winners then I hope there will be also more variety in the type of game, like one MMORPG, one FPS, and one Strategy game.
Personally I think most of FPS are all too similar, so I don't want another one, and for strategy we'll gonna have OilRush and 0 AD, which both look good so far, so I'm wishing more for a RPG (MMO or not) or some crazy new type of game with innovative gameplay.
Either way, 3 winners are fantastic news for all. I hope they reach the most wanted feature: "ship it".
