A recent Joystiq article and an interview with Frictional games has revealed their latest development, a follow up to Amnesia!
Quote"It's not a direct sequel, in terms of it doesn't follow on from the story of Amnesia. It doesn't involve the same characters," Dear Esther writer Dan Pinchbeck told me. Instead, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs will be set in the same "alternate history and set in the same universe." In short, the game will look to scare your pants off.
Set in 1899, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs follows the "wealthy industrialist" Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from "a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy." Struck by a destructive fever, Mandus is haunted by dreams of a dark machine until he mysteriously regains consciousness. Months have passed, unbeknownst to the industry tycoon, and as he emerges from his slumber the roaring engine of a mysterious machine sputters to life.
The interview reveals there is a planned linux version in the works.
QuoteAmnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a PC title, with Mac and Linux versions to be released if not at the same time then "soon after" launch. The pair are proud that they can afford to develop the game, with Frictional -- acting in a production role -- financing the project. Crowd-sourced funding from services like Kickstarter seem intriguing to both teams, but Frictional says it has enough resources to meet the game's budgetary needs.

They do love their wiped memories...
Although, we don't see any love from Joystiq, IndieGames, RPS, etc. nor do we see much love from Linux gamers with Tomes of Mephistopheles. Any idea why is that? (I am especially concerned with game media blackout we are in).
don't know about the game media blackout, maybe your target audience is a bit more limited than most independent titles.
Can't wait for Amnesia +1.
Yeah, I work on Linux.If I had Windows 7 64-bit I am not sure I would switch easily ;) But I have had WinXP 32bit and I needed to harness my dual core 64bit CPU and 4Gb of RAM, so I installed Ubuntu 64bit and instantly felt the difference.
I can hardly believe that. There are more people playing FPS and RPG games than people playing Steel Storm like games.
Well, I twitted to Joystiq, I e-mailed 2 people there (one of them did Steel Storm Indie pitch). Heard nothing back. If you have any contacts there, would you mind asking why ToM hasn't been covered, please?
