BEEP coming to Linux in April

Big Fat Alien are bringing their game BEEP to Linux in April as reported by their blog:

QuoteWhat About Porting BEEP?

Ok, enough of my opining on Linux. What about BEEP’s port? Well I’m happy to say that it’s fully compiled, linked and ready for distribution (just as soon as the content is complete!).

QuoteDoes Anyone Even Game in Linux?

Now after going through all this effort, you might be wondering if anyone is even going to care about a Linux build. To be honest, I have my doubts. But if other games are any indication, you can expect to gain between 5-20% sales by providing a Linux version.

starving for content

much more likely to fit the gaming demographic

much more likely to want to support commercial software on Linux (Linux usesr tend to be a bit ideological)

So there you have it. My experience with porting BEEP to Linux was completely unlike past experiences. Linux development really has improved dramatically since the days of manual driver installations and hacking text files to set monitor resolutions.

Looks like they have been paying good attention to Osmos, World of Goo and Humble inc!

The game looks like an awesome take on the platformer genre!
