Steel Storm: Burning Retribution is on Steam Linux

So you mean to tell us, the beta has already started?

No key here. Bummer...

I am not 100% sure, but I thought it did.

The closed beta isn't live yet ;)

Game developers packaging their apps for the Linux Steam client have access to an internal version from what I understand (that's where talk of TF2 running so nicely under Linux is coming from :3 ), but that's the limit of its availability outside of Valve so far as I'm aware.

Also, weren't you always shipping Linux binaries in the Windows version of Steelstorm on Steam?

Hmm.. I wonder why I was asked if I want to make Linux version available for SS:BR customers.. Anyhow, yes, but no longer. Now every OS gets its set of binaries. Just like if you have no Mac OS X, you won't have binaries for that under Windows. So now since Steam is on Linux too, Linux binaries are only available on Steam Linux.

I imagine it's so that it will be available when the beta does go live (it makes sense to organise these things beforehand) ^_^

Perhaps.. I just was under impression it's already going on o_O (as I don't keep up with much right now while working on Steel Storm 2)

Does this translate to 'your steam only offers binaries for your platform' or 'SS:BR is only available via Steam'? The latter would be :(

I am not really sure which is it - you don't know how Steam works or you are trying to troll me :)

Let's say you have Steam account and you are on Windows. Once you purchase a game, e.g. SS:BR, that has Mac OSX and Linux port, you can install it on any of those OS. So let's say you have dual boot with Ubuntu. That means once you install Steam on Ubuntu, SS:BR will be automatically downloaded and you can also play it on Linux. Which translates into "on Windows, you play SS:BR for Windows, on Linux you play SS:BR for Linux; no more mixing up binaries for different OS".

Where have I ever said "SS:BR is Steam exclusive now" ? o_O

Nothing is automatically downloaded FYI motorsep but i'm sure you know that, you do have to actually tell it to install ;)

Yeah, I guess I meant to say it will be in the Library after you install Steam Linux :)
