Citizens of Earth is the next game in development at Eden Industries (the developers of Waveform).
It’s an RPG that places you in the shoes of the Vice President of the World! He’s a classic bureaucrat: charming, charismatic, but practically useless. After recently winning the vice presidency, he returns to his rural home town for some vacation. But he soon inadvertently discovers that there is some very strange stuff happening around town. Feeling a sense of responsibility as an elected official you decide to do something about it! But being the bureaucrat you are, you don’t actually want to get your hands dirty. Thus you go about using your charisma to recruit normal townsfolk to help you investigate and fight your battles for you.
Instead of the traditional warrior, mage, etc. from fantasy RPGs, you’re able to recruit and fight with the town Baker, Barista, School Teacher, Homeless Guy, and plenty of other seemingly ordinary characters brought to life in unique and charming ways!
I spoke to the developer on twitter back at the start of June:
@gamingonlinux That's definitely the plan! Hopefully @flibitijibibo will help us out again with that :)

Thankfully our resident super Linux porter is up for the task!
@EdenIndustries @gamingonlinux I'll totally make time for Citizens of Earth! A great excuse to update their engine to SDL2.
