If you are an Indie game fan or a developer, you must have heard of IndieCity. IndieCity is an online Indie game store that allows developers to publish their own games and earn revenue/donations in return. Much like Steam, it had a client that users can use to download and play the games. But unlike Steam, people at IndieCity have announced that they will bring their own client to Linux, and its before their Mac version.

IndieCity announced on their blog

We’re really happy to announce that we’ll soon be opening IndieCity up to Linux systems, so we’re on the look-out for people with Linux games and applications who’d like to be a part of the launch line-up. If you are such a person, or you want to point us in the direction of someone who is you can email us at Enquiries@IndieCity.com.

If you aren’t a dev but still want to be involved and have a Linux system, we’d be really grateful if you would be able to test the Client on your system, as we want to make sure it runs on as many distros/architectures as possible. Again, if you are able to help with this, drop us an email at  Enquiries@IndieCity.com and we’ll make sure you’re included!

For those of you who are waiting for news on the Mac version of IndieCity, we’re working on it now and it should be ready fairly shortly after the Linux launch

You access their games database from here. Seems like Linux gaming is gaining priority for most developers and games stores.
