Deep Sixed is a pretty unique looking space survival roguelike that will be heading to Kickstarter soon and the developers confirmed it will support Linux.

Confirmation:
@gamingonlinux It will!
— Little Red Dog Games (@LRDGames) March 6, 2017
The developer also confirmed in our comments it's using the Godot engine.
Features
- Life without an "undo" button. Your ship stays with you from start to finish. If something breaks, it'll stay broken until you figure out how to fix it.
- A universe of procedurally generated mysteries for the ambitious explorer.
- A diverse ecosystem of intergalactic fauna with their own predator, prey and scavenger roles to play.
- A steep difficulty-curve that will push your ability to stay calm under pressure to the limits.
- A compelling story of friendship and compassion that promises to surprise and entertain.
Looks pretty good, what do you think?

Interesting, for sure, but I urge everyone- the list of kickstarter funded games promising Linux support only to back out after we fund it, is a long one. No Tux, no bux.

Not to be a debbie downer but... Is it made with Flash? Couldn't this just as well have been a browser game?

I have backed many projects and have never had this happen on any of them. I know there are some, but I find it hard to believe that it's a particularly long list.

How did you come up with the idea they use Flash? I think they are using multiplatform engine Godot.

Hi everybody,
I'm the lead programmer and composer of Deep Sixed. I'd like to confirm that this game will - definitely - be released for Linux on day one. Solitary is right, we're using the Godot Engine which supports Linux out of the box. I'm a Linux user myself, so this game is partially developed on Linux and I'm testing Linux builds all the time.
