Desura - Linux Client Available

The Steam like service Desura now has a linux client (in beta currently) in addition to the Windows client, making it one of the first such games portal style digital distribution services for Linux.

This makes it ideal target for Java games (in fact one the most popular games on there now is Project Zomboid (a Java/LWJGL Game).

From what i’ve heard they are making some pretty nice deals with developers as its still early days for the service.

Announcement can be found here.

yeah I saw it, looks nice, not sure yet how to submit games

so how would it work ? would you have to ship a jre with your game in this case, or is it assumed that everybody that has desura installed, also has java ?

It might be a good opportunity to increase the visibility of JOGL games like Wakfu ;D
