Lauri, Frozenbyte TeamSorry it has taken so long! We are doing a major update to Trine 1 and the Linux version will be included in that version. The DRM-free Linux version was done by other team so we cannot use that one directly in Steam, or that would be quite difficult at least. We are hoping to release the Steam Linux version during this summer, but there may come some unexpected delays.

Any idea if the "major update" is just a technical one (i.e. bug fixes) or if it will add content to the game?

...this summer? The summer of 2014? Not sure what's more surprising here: that they're willing to put half a year of effort into such an old game of theirs (which does have a very good sequel), or that it's going to take them this long.
Good news nonetheless.

Why not pop them an email asking about the Desura build and whatever Splot is?

To be fair, I have tried to speak with them about their Desura issues and never received a response.
That being said, I have gotten way too much DRM free Linux native enjoyment from their game titles to condemn them too much for it.
I would still very much appreciate them looking into their Desura issues as well though.

I'll be disappointed if they don't fix the DRM-free version. I couldn't finish the game due to crashes. It's a pity.

Well, I'll be damned, things may start moving:
Good call FutureSuture. :)
This indeed is a mishap of ours and I'll ask our content team to update both Desura version of T2 and the HiB/other Humble services at earliest point. Sorry for the delay!
Good call FutureSuture. :)

I will be skipping any more Frozenbyte games as much as I liked the original trine. When it says it runs on Linux and they actually mean it only runs on Udumbtoo I am not interested. Missing dependencies on Debian Stable and Testing for Trine the complete series.

I could run them in Debian Stable and Debian Testing. Don't install deb packages, run in the console and install any libraries missing, I think it worked that way for me.

Frozenbyte's games can be a pain to run library wise, but that has nothing do with them only supporting Ubuntu. In fact, Trine 2 is officially supported on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and OpenSUSE. I think you can save some of that anger for those who deserve it and concentrate on fixing your problem.

New response of developers about this:
Sorry for the delay.
So, actually we don't own the code made by the partner company. In other words we don't have the code and wouldn't be even able to use it. Instead of trying to get the code (or make arrangements) we are planning to do our own Linux version for the game without 3rd companies. Can't say anything about the schedule yet though.
I hope this clarifies something and sorry for the possible inconvenience.
Let me know if you have any other questions about this. Cheers.
