Bearded Giant Games brings a premium Match 3 to Linux

Farm Life aims to bring the joy of old-school Match 3 experience in a premium, DRM-free, package for Linux users.

Bearded Giant Games, the Linux 1st developer, acquired the rights to port and publish Farm Life for Linux users on the Bearded Giant Store. In Farm Life the player rebuilds, regrows and reclaims her aunt’s farm that was lost to the passage of time. The game features a cast of colorful characters that will nudge you on the right path to success, while other claimants hope that you fail.

The game is free of any stigma associated with mainstream games in the genre. It’s 100% free of any DRM, Ads, In-App Purchases and analytics/tracking. Bearded Giant Games aims to stay faithful to the Linux 1st Initiative and Privacy Policy and this can be reflected in any game their work on and bring on board.

The one man studio took the decision to partner with the original developer in order to grow the studio’s catalogue while also serving an identified niche in the Linux Gaming Community (exhibit A, exhibit B). The success of the release hopes to prove that Linux can be a viable platform for Indie Developers regardless of the genre as long as they offer quality releases and non-predatory mechanics and marketing tactics.

Farm Life for Linux is current in Beta on the BGG Discord and undergoing a full QA review process. Bearded Giant Games is in the last stages of the release process aiming to provide solutions for known Unity issues that Linux gamers encounter (such as monitor selection, resolution kinks or rendering issues that can be bypassed via launch options).
