Aspyr Media Have A New Blog Post On Porting Civilization: Beyond Earth To Linux

Another blog post from Aspyr Media has surfaced about their porting efforts on Civilization: Beyond Earth, and the news is looking good.

Again, it is a mostly Mac-centric blog post, as they told us last time that Linux is giving them less issues than Mac, and Linux directly follows Mac development.

There was this bit though:

QuoteFor the Linux Crowd

Don’t worry, Linux users, we haven’t forgotten about you. In addition to the all-important performance improvements, we’ve also been working on getting mods to work properly (via Steam Workshop). All said, the Linux version is still coming along nicely and is close behind the Mac version; at this point we’d say there’s probably a 2-3 week gap between the platforms.

Looks like we may yet get it before the end of the year, and this is fantastic news. A bit hyped for the new Civilization since the setting appeals to me much more than the normal Civ games.

It's worth re-noting that the Linux port of the new Geometry Wars is being done by Aspyr Media, and it arrives this month. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
