Thanks to the developer looking to update the version of Game Maker they use we Linux gamers will see Risk of Rain on Linux. Fight on a mysterious planet with randomly spawning enemies and bosses, either alone or with 3 friends in online co-op.

The game itself is published by Chucklefish (the guys behind Starbound), and it is highly rated by many gamers, so I can't wait to test it out.
What do you think to it?
About
Risk of Rain is an action platformer/adventure game with randomized elements.While we don’t want to spoil the story, we can let a few things through! The game is set in the distant future, where space transportation is common. Space trains carry passengers and goods all across space. A particular space train, however, had some very special cargo. Through a series of unfortunate events, this space train gets shot out of orbit and crash lands on a mysterious planet.. with one survivor.
The big feature of our game is the randomized elements. The position you spawn on the map, which map you spawn on, the location of chests, enemy spawns, item spawns and more are all randomly chosen by the AI Director! We also have a massive amount of content in our game: we have over 100 unique items, all with interesting effects. No +HP or +DAMAGE, but chance to spawn missiles and stop time. You have the option of choosing between 10 characters, all with their own different moveset.
Another thing that’s important in our game is that as time increases, so does difficulty. Represented in a bar on the HUD, every minute that passes increases the enemies’ power and spawn count, developing a great sense of urgency.
Usually Game Maker would make me feel a bit iffy, but considering how good Nuclear Throne my doubts about it have gone somewhat. So, I can actually look forward to this one! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteCross-platform support for Mac/Linux (I almost want to say cross-platform online too, but I’m not 100% sure)

Game maker has certainly changed a lot since when I used it back on version 6.

Yes please! This one seems really good! I have seen many of my friends playing a lot to this game, but I couldn't even think about it, without Linux support. Now, steam sales will be harder to resist :)
This game, and Stealth B@stard (Stupid censor :D) are both made with game maker. I hope this software has evolved, otherwise it's an amazing accomplishment (not saying it's not one, of course:))
Quoting: Half-ShotGame maker has certainly changed a lot since when I used it back on version 6.Yeah. Certainly. I tried it too, I even certainly have an old version somewhere in one of my harddisks :D

Great stuff! I added this to my Steam wish list a while back in the hope that one day there would be a Linux port.
