As our friends Ubuntu Vibes have pointed out and something which I also found out but didn't get time to post, Deep Black: Reloaded have confirmed they are porting to Linux and Mac!

This is definitively intriguing, I wonder what convinced them to start the port. Now, they are Russian Indie developers, so we had somewhat of an in, but based on some of their comments I think the Desura release and the Mac and Linux ports are being done mostly as a raised middle finger to their previous publisher.
Well, that seems fine to me. :D

"Now we have multiplayer via LAN and via Internet only on Steam/XBLA/PSN. Because we don't have own matchmaking server. If Desura will run matchmaking SDK, we are ready implement it."

My 'to buy' list just increased by 1. Damn, graphics looks really impressive. And while multiplayer would be nice bonus, i wouldn't be too much upset about it.

This is absolutely great!
I hope there will be enough linux-copies sold for them to port their next titles too.

Well, after this their in-house engine will have been ported over anyway. So there would be less work involved with any future titles when it comes to releasing them on Linux. Not a guarantee, but a good sign none the less.

It seems to have gotten some pretty mixed reviews, but I'm all for keeping an open mind until I can try it myself.
