Linux version?
I hate to be "that guy", but since there is cross platform support already is there any chance that we might see a Linux version?

You can find out whether a game is reported to work using Steam Play at ProtonDB[www.protondb.com]. According to the one person who has tried this game there [www.protondb.com] (so far) :

Game runs good, except ALT TAB that crashes the game, and when ending the game it get stock, so you need to force close it with the tastmanager.

A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

That is great news - if yoyu are doing your first Linux support,do not get confused and hold back by all the different Linux variants with trillions of bug reports - it is really enough to support SteamOS / Ubuntu to make many linux users happy.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Indeed, it's GNU/Linux.

To be honest, I only call the system GNU/Linux when I target the general public. At work I just call it GNU.

Game looks super interesting for me, but I don't have any windows or mac systems, is there a chance of getting Linux support?

The gameplay looks good. I'll wishlist it and pick it up if a Linux version comes out. Thanks for thinking of us.

Basically what GadgetGamer said: I've been playing this game using Wine + DXVK and it works flawlessly, except for a guaranteed crash when you close the game or ALT+TAB when you aren't running it in its own virtual desktop.

Other than that, it's perfectly playable.

+1 Wishlisted! Will pick it up if a native Linux port is released.
