PayPalThe developers of Farabel [Official Site, Steam, itch] sent word that their game is now officially coming to Linux. They asked for testers and in a single day got the game working properly on Linux and it's now official.
This gif animation is brill, taken from their Steam news post.
Thanks to @unity3d and some awesome testers this was a done in a day of work. Not bad for our first game published on Linux. @gamingonlinux https://t.co/HDwxS3KKWR

Fantastic to see a positive experience like this for a developer!

About the game
Farabel is a turn based strategy game that starts out at the end.
You start out at the end of the conclusion of the story. But that’s not all. In Farabel, the whole gaming experience is turned around. You start out the adventure with a hero at maximum power, but your hero will lose power with each battle. You won’t be choosing which skill you want to reinforce. Instead, you’ll have to decide which one to diminish. You’re not going to develop your character. You’re going to develop your own gaming abilities, including your cleverness, strategic prowess, inventive capabilities, and your knowledge of the game.
To win at Farabel, being powerful means nothing. You have to be clever! And you have to get more and more clever as you go.
also it runs great on stable mesa now ;)

Quite excellent, looking forward to this.
Not to mention a whole bunch of "we´ll maybe/most likely do a linux port after windows" titles: "Grim Dawn", "Clandestine", "Rebel Galaxy", "Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms", too name another few.
This title looks reasonably interesing, I´ll read a bit more and then maybe give it a shot.
That GIF alone is almost enough reason to buy the game :)
Still gonna wait for release and possibly a review though.
