Space Pirates and Zombies 2 still planned for Linux, not due for at least another 4 months

Space Pirates and Zombies 2 [Official Site] looks damn good, the reviews are looking good for it too and it is still planned for Linux which is great news.

I asked the developer for an update on it and they said this:

QuoteIt won't be until after multiplayer is online and we have at least 3 major feature pushes before then. I would say 4 months absolute minimum, but likely more. Linux will come online near the 1.0 release. Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense to maintain a Mac and Linux build right now as maintaining them and dealing with compatibility issues will take us offline for significant time vs further progressing toward 1.0. We are just a two person company, so we have to make hard decisions about what we work on and in what order.

Will you pick it up when it arrives on Linux?

About the game
In SPAZ 2 you must survive in an evolving post apocalyptic Galaxy. The zombie threat is defeated, infrastructure has collapsed, fuel is scarce, and scavenging means survival.

Initially the Galaxy contains hundreds of fleets, each trying to survive. AI captains do everything the player can. The player is not special and is not the center of the Galaxy.

As resource scarcity becomes critical, ships come into conflict just to survive. Factions may form for protection or split due to starvation. Old friends must become fodder.

Stronger factions establish and defend territories, set up resource hubs, and establish star bases. Weaker factions may resort to banditry. Each captain is unique, persistent, and shapes the Galaxy.

When factions meet, combat is usually the result. While the strategic side of SPAZ 2 is about exploration, territorial control, and faction building, the action side of SPAZ 2 is about ship construction, tactics, and salvage. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
