For those developers around the Leadwerks Linux Beta is now on Steam in an opt-in fashion and needs testing.

Josh had few words to say about it:
QuoteIt's on there. Does not show up in store yet, and is only available on the beta branch.

Not much to say for a man usually of many words, but I am sure he will have plenty more to say about it when it releases onto Steam properly.

Check out Leadwerks on Steam now.

Might give Leadwerks a try in the near future, mostly due to it's lua integration!

I try to install at Ubuntu, but a message says that isn't available for my platform...

I didn't try it myself, but did you try to opt-in to the beta before trying to download it ?
I had to do this for the first Portal 2 Linux beta.

I chipped in to the kickstarter for this and got the indie edition a few months ago. Unfortunately at the time it required you to be on Ubuntu, as it requires Unity (as in the DE not the game engine ;)) libraries. Hopefully Josh has fixed that by now.

Yep, I'm using the beta client of steam. Maybe the problem is I haven't leadwerks in my library...
I was trying to use the demo... :/

I believe he means you need to opt in for the beta of *leadwerks* (the application). You often need to explicitly state that you want to participate in betas, it's done in the property window of that application.
