Leadwerks the game engine and visual editor that successfully crowdfunded itself to come to Linux has been shown off a bit.
In the latest kickstarter update Josh showed it off:
Currently still very rough, this is Leadwerks on Linux using OpenGL4.
I cannot wait to see if anyone uses this tool to publish games onto Linux, especially with Josh the owner of Leadwerks saying things like:
Seems we have a believer here.
Considering Unity has no Linux editor yet, it's possible people start to sway towards it.

Update: 3D rendering now working!
Josh has stated they are right on schedule for an October beta - Source.

Can't wait to see this released. I wonder if it'll bring a swarm of news games to Linux, much like the Unity engine has done so far. Shame Unreal aren't picking up on this.
