Linux Games


I haveread a copious amount of articles about Linux and they all state one thing, to reach a greater market Linux needs to have an app, namely a game that is actually exciting, like interesting to play and will waste hours of your life. I couldn't agree more with these articles however there seems to be little information in the Linux community on game creation. I am very interested in it and when I was running Windows I created game mods, running off existing game engines, so I know a bit about the coding and design of games. I guess I have a few questions then, are there any open source, good quality game engines out there for Linux? Preferably ones with alot of documentation and are commercial, eg a Linux Unreal engine? Secondly how different is the process of the creation of code/design in Linux than Windows and thirdly, does anyone know any great sites dedicated to 3d Linux game creation? Any help on this touchy Linux subject would be much appreciated.

why don't you start with UT then? Unreal Tournament, 2003, 2004 all run under linux. Start there.
