A new adventure game coming up called Double Fine Adventure has had a huge Kickstarter campaign which has meant it will most likely be coming to Linux;
So far they have raised $1.6million+ dollars in pledges;
Looks like the Publishers where wrong huh?
In case you don't know who Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert are, they're both ex-LucasArts employees who were involved in classic adventure games like Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, and have gone on to do fairly interesting things in their post-LA carrers (Tim founded Double Fine and Ron has been involved with stuff like the Penny Arcade Adventures, Deathspank and Telltale Games' Monkey Island series).
Thanks for letting us know Cheese!
QuoteQ: What about Android or Linux?
A: Those are possible too! It all depends on how much money we can raise.

Guess I was wrong to be so pessimistic about the chances for a confirmed Linux release. I would offer to eat my hat, but I don't actually own one...
In other news, Brian Fargo is apparently going to Kickstart development for a Wasteland sequel, wonder if he can be convinced to do a Linux version as well?
