You all asked for it and they finally delivered. Torque 2D has been updated to 3.0 with Linux support which means more games are now possible for Linux.
There are now very few game engines that don't support Linux, so the list of reasons for developers not to support us is getting a bit thin.
The engine itself is claimed to be used for "hundreds" of games, so it will be fun to see if many get ported over to Linux. At least developers who use it in future will have the chance to support us.
This major update of course adds other interesting features for gamers like:
There are many other changes more note-worthy for developers on the full blog post.

I just realised this was the 2D version of Torque after studying it on Github, not the Torque3D that was previously rumoured and showcased to come to Linux [even attempted crowd funding]. It is a step in the right direction, and I'm glad we have another engine supporting Linux, even if only partially.
