Eufloria HD never released on Steam but on PlayStation Vita instead

[Fluke]

I am one of the lucky few that got the Eufloria HD Beta from the Humble Indie Bundle. The game is seems mostly ready for release and is a huge improvement over Eufloria Classic which is distributed by Steam (which also is not available for Mac or Linux). The only thing I would change from the Beta version is I wish it had the ability to change the resolution/size when running in windowed mode. Otherwise, this is something I would highly recommend to others running Steam on Mac/Linux to play ... if only they could.

My expectations for when I should be able to recommend Eufloria for other Linux gamers was set by the eufloria-game.com FAQ which states: "The full release of Eufloria HD for [PC, Mac and Linux] will be in late Summer 2013."

I get that schedules slip but I figured it would be released for Mac/Linux at least before 2014 (or there would be some updated ETA). What is worse is to get news that working on Mac/Linux became a second priority (or non-priority) in favor of a different platform that wasn't stated in the FAQ at all! So while there was a new Eufloria HD platform release that made it before 2014, it wasn't Mac/Linux but PlayStation Vita instead. I can't help but wonder if this is Omni Systems Limited's way of silently indicating that Eufloria for Mac/Linux is permanently shelved. At this point, I am kind of expecting Wii-U, PS4 or Xbox One releases to be next instead of ever seeing the release stated for summer 2013.

I guess what this means is if your a fan of Eufloria HD, tell anyone using Mac/Linux to buy a Vita, iPad or Android tablet since it seems that it will never actually be release for Mac/Linux except for limited distribution of the beta. :( Bottom line for me is none of my friends that are Mac/Linux users are interested in buying Vita or a tablet.

Understandable sentiment

Hey Fluke, apologies for the late release, but it's coming later today if all goes well. We are a tiny team of indies, not a big corporation, and frankly, life and finances has beaten us about the head wrt to this often delayed release.

We did persevere though for our fans, so it is finally launching today!

Thank you! I have several due for release next year (StarLit, Neopolis, and an evolved version of Eufloria Adventures) but will chat about that elsewhere :_D

Wow, this is a very, very big step up.
I'm honestly not seeing much of the "HD" part, but I guess that's a pretty trivial label on PC anyway, but the mechanics and especially explanations are so much better.
I finally get how laser flowers work now!
