Do you have any Linux-specific game development resources?

Do you mean resources for developing on Linux, or resources for developing games that run on Linux? – Chris Garrett Jul 16 '10 at 14:31
Question is very vague. Ask more precisely what you want :) – Miro Jul 15 '12 at 11:34

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Blender might be worth checking out, both for asset creation and for the game engine it offers.

I'm not much of a Linux guy, but these are my recommendations based on research and experience:

Programming

  • Eclipse IDE for code editing and project management.
  • Java.
  • GCC.
  • Python.
  • OpenGL.

Programming Libraries

  • Java2D.
  • SDL.
  • PyGame.
  • Allegro.

Art

  • The Gimp (bitmap).
  • Inkscape (vector graphics).
  • Blender (3D).

Sound

  • Audacity.
  • LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio).

Ardour which is a digital audio workstation is worth taking a look at as far as sound goes – Steve Obbayi Jul 14 '10 at 22:17
@Steve Ardour has certainly come a long way since the last time I had a look at it. Not quite what I am after as the MIDI stuff is lacking compared to Apple Logic Studio, but not bad all the same. – Cromulent Jul 16 '10 at 2:45
