Skyward Collapse is a pretty interesting looking god-game from Arcen Games who have become Linux-friendly developers recently, they have stated Skyward Collapse will come to Linux.

Arcen games gave us Bionic Dues, which was their first Linux-supported title.

QuoteThanks, guys! Just so you know, this does run awesome under WINE already. But we do hope to come in and backport all or most of our older games to Linux at some point this year. The main barrier right now is time. It takes some time to port particularly the older ones, although that doesn't apply to Skyward.

The big thing that is holding back Skyward at the moment (and holding back Bionic from having a non-Steam version) is that our updater software presently only works on windows and OSX. We're going to be addressing that around the time of the launch of our upcoming title The Last Federation, and once we have that new updater, we'll be able to use that with any and all of our titles.

Anyhow, it is on our radar to do, it's just we're a very small company and right now is a huge crunch time.

It's always nice when developers back-track and bring their older, but still great games to Linux. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
