Frontiers - Explore, Discover & Survive [Kickstarter] is a 3D Exploring-RPG-Game and comes with a Linux version. The Game looks great and there is also a chance of Oculus Rift support.
What convinced me to pledge, from the Kickstarter page:
Other games have touched on that elusive feeling, especially Elder Scrolls and early Fallout games, but as fun as they are and as much as I love hardcore RPG mechanics, I've always dreamt of a game that emphasized exploration above all else.

also i like the developers of this game
they sent me email about "ask anything from us" right after i pledged.
then i explained how important this kind of games are for linux crowd.
then they replied again and were happy that linux is gaining ground and that they are part of it.
Lars Simkins's answer: Hello - yes, if it comes down to it I will supply a drm free Linux version
personally. A Drm free option is important to me.
It appears that the Humble Store is aggressively seeking out cross-platform Kickstarter successes (such as Whispering Willows, Dog Sled Saga, and dozens of others) and offering up a Humble widget on their sites, PLUS offering to help them gather pre-orders... at only a 5% take. That's hard for indies to say no to, and is a very, very good deal, indeed. I still prefer Desura because I use the updater client for convenience, and back up the standalone installers to protect my investment.
I wish Desura had more traction, they are such a great site. AND I believe totally that they can live alongside steam. Maybe steam can buy them, although I suppose the whole greenlight project is just that. It is however difficult for developers to get any sales if tyhey are not greenlit.
Anyhow, pledged for this. Looking forward to this game as I sometimes enjoy just going around virtual worlds just to see the lore. I bought proteus just for that, a quiet world without too much violence, but after an hour of playing with it felt quite bored. Frontier certainly takes a lot of influence from Morrowind, possiblty Gothic as well. Looking forward to playing this from my Linux machine.
Yeah. I think they'd work well alongside Humble, actually. Problem, I think, is the bandwidth and storage on the Desura side... and no unified and continuous community on the Humble side. Humble is kind of detached from the world between bundles (and, in a way, even during bundles). Desura, though, is like four guys doing everything on a shoestring budget, which is why their ModDB site can be so huge, but still need to be monetized with ads. :(
I feel like they're two sides of a Valve-shaped coin, but their unique approaches give them a place, as you say, alongside Steam. :|
