(tl;dr: check the last paragraph)<\/p>\n

I’m using a Linux system. That decreases a lot the amount of games that I can actually play from the entries.<\/p>\n

Entering “linux” on the search box gives (at least some of) those games that have Linux binaries available. But this leaves out the ones that would be playable in a web browser.<\/p>\n

Basically all other web technologies than Unity can work on Linux. A lot of entries have a “Web” link to a version that is potentially playable in a web browser. Not many of those state what technology the web version is actually using – is it Flash, HTML5, Java applet or Unity. (and many entries do state that, well done!)<\/p>\n

A plea to those having a web version of your game available: state clearly on the link and\/or on the description what technology your game is using<\/strong>.<\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2012 2:50 am","title":"Unity != Web"}
