Pathfinder: Kingmaker [Official Site] is currently on Kickstarter to bring out an isometric single-player RPG and they have hit the funding goal for a Linux version.
They are sitting at $723,642 pledged of their $500K goal, with the Linux stretch-goal being at $700K. Hopefully this means they will include Linux in their plans early and not as an afterthought like a lot of developers end up doing.
They've managed to rope in veteran video game designer Chris Avellone, so there's that too.
Any of you already pledging or planning to? I must admit I'm interested, but I generally prefer to wait until something is released. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuotePathfinder: Kingmaker is based on Paizo’s award-winning Pathfinder Adventure Path of the same name. You certainly don’t need to be familiar with the story, but if you are, you will encounter characters you know and love. Either way, you will experience a host of brand-new events, companions, allies, and threats that expand and enhance the original Adventure Path. With help from Paizo and their authors, the story and quests have been expanded by RPG writer Chris Avellone and the Owlcat team, allowing for even more adventure in the already rich narrative of the Stolen Lands.
While Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a single-player game, you won’t be adventuring alone. Pathfinder: Kingmaker features a diverse cast of companions and NPCs, including iconic characters from the Pathfinder setting itself. You’ll need to decide who to trust and who to watch carefully, as each companion has an agenda, alignment, and goals that may differ from yours. Your journey will become their journey, and you’ll help shape their lives both in the moment and well into the future.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Quoting: silmethI wonder what gamedev kickstarters mean when they set Linux version stretch-goal – if their campaign does not meet the goal does it means they won’t bother with protability and Linux version at all?
What changes when the goal is met – do they now try to remake the game’s engine architectire to be portable? Will they still make it Windows-centric while hoping the additional funding will allow them to hire somebody to port it later? Do they plan to invest that money into more devs and tester time on Linux and on additional Linux hardware for testing?
I would think either to pay a studio to port or for Q&A.
But as others have pointed out , it really looks bad that it's a stretch goal , bundled with OTHER stretch goals and the studio is new and may have 0 experience on linux.
Mildly optimistic but don't want to get my hopes up:

I've been DMing Pathfinder in one of my pen-and-paper groups for over a year now (though we do meet pretty irregularily), so I am quite invested in the rules and setting. I'm really hoping this goes well

So people are still falling for the "Linux as stretch goal" scam, huh?
