Linux?

Look, I know some of you don't like Linux or don't care, but I do.

Are there plans for a Linux port?

There are plans for porting to linux, mac, ipad, Xbox and android. Just depends on how well the game does. There was some tentative testing of the alpha demo on linux with mixed results but we didn't have the manpower at the time to pursue it.

Adding to my wishlist and hoping for Linux support. I would like a good rogue-like on Android as well...

Yep, just went on my wishlist pending Linux support.

I will buy 5 copies if you don't port to Linux. Don't cater to those few people on Steam who want to be different and run Linux. They have 134 Steam for Linux games to choose from already :P

Linux users comprise 2.84% of Steam users according to the stats on the website. I also added the "other" to be safe. That's really not worth the effort.

I would love to see this game running natively on linux, in the mean time its working fine in WINE.

ps: ElementX its not being different, Windows sucks and its dying. Also the ~3% is growing every day and the less games are on steam for linux means more buys for this game when it gets ported to linux.

Really? I could not get the demo working at all in wine. You do anything special? I used the latest wine and installed dot net 4.0 and all it did was crash.
