Linux Version

When will we have the Linux Version available here?

Hi, I answered that before, but again, it won't happen unfortunately. Steamworks isn't really compatible with the Linux build of the engine we used.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's bad.
The greenlight page listed Linux support.
There's this also: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/155900272/846958724805458502/
And I'm not the only GNU/Linux only gamer who voted up mainly because of its Linux support.

fscherrer, as I told before, the game actually exists on Linux (it's available on other sites, Desura for example), but Steam tools won't be compatible with the engine we used for the game. I said it would work before I've had my hands and the tools.
I understand your anger, but understand it's an honest mistake, not some lies I've made to get the game greenlit.
And again, if you really want to play the game, you can get it in other stores.

Hmm, nooow I think I got it!
It's about the integration with the Steamworks. The game runs on Linux but can't be integrated the Steam things.
Thanks for the clarification!

[bodozore]

Exactly :) Thanks for your understanding

Flixel, right? That's what's listed on the Desura page, at least.

From my understanding, Canabalt and Neo Scavenger do, too. As do a few other games with Linux builds on Steam. MIght want to consider taking a second look into whatever issue you were having.

You know, it's also a matter of effort (not only needed to release a port, but also for further support) and additional profits (which may not be worth that work). I can understand, but for now I'm just removing the game from one of bundles and I'll take rather something ported to Linux.

If anything changes in the future, count me in. +1 for Linux.
