Developer breaks silence about 'The Silent Age', a point-and-click adventure for which a Linux port was promised

The Silent Age has been out for more than a year right now, and some months after its release the developers replied in the forum, regarding the possibility of a Linux port. This is what they said:

(...) "But the good news is that we're working on it and are quite close to being ready to publish. We've been dealing with some texture issues on Linux but we are confident that we've found a solution. Just have to do a bit of testing and then we'll be rocking."

However, after months of complete silence (no pun intended) another developer posted an update:

"Hey guys. As you have noticed, we haven't had success getting the Steam Linux version to work because of issues with the middleware. We haven't looked at it for a while, but if and when we return to it, we'll let you know.

Anyone interested is welcome to sign up as a playtesters for the Linux version here."

It's a shame that now they don't even have a release date, because the game looks particularly interesting, with its aesthetics clearly inspired by Another World, but at least the request to join an eventual play-test could be read as if they're still interested in porting the game. We'll see how it plays out...
