System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now available on Linux, nearing stretch goal

As promised the System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo is now available on Linux due to demand for it and closing in on the Linux + Mac stretch goal.

They are doing it for Linux first as it has seen much more demand over a Mac version. As always, we are a very loud bunch.

See their announcement on it here. They say you need to install some audio library manually, but it worked for me without it.

At the time of writing they are about $63,670 away from hitting the Linux + Mac stretch goal. According to Kicktraq, at the current pledging level they will hit around $1.6 million so it looks like they will easily hit the goal.

I tested the Demo and it does seem to run fine on my PC, and wow it really does look good! It does have one issue where the sound will screw up and be distorted if you try to alt+tab. A minor issue considering this is really early stuff.

You can download the demo on Steam (scroll down to the download image/button), but it looks like the Linux demo is not up on GOG or Humble Store yet.

See the Kickstarter here.

Considering how good it looks and feels, I'm even tempted to help fund it. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
