The Universim [Official Site], the god game from Crytivo is finally going to be available on Steam in Early Access on August 28th.
It's been a long road, with the game being funded on Kickstarter way back in 2014. I personally backed them way after this towards the end of 2015 on their website directly, so I've been watching it slowly evolve.
I spoke to Alex Koshelkov, Founder & CEO Crytivo last night. They confirmed to me that the Steam Early Access release will indeed have a Linux version, which will not use their current updater (which requires a mono-complete install to work) since it will update via Steam directly which is going to be much nicer. The actual game is built from Unity, so it should be fine.
They plan to remain in Early Access for around one year to a year and a half, since there's still plenty of work to do.
Here's a video of how it runs on Linux right now during the early stages. It does seem to run quite nicely, honestly it's vastly improved since I last tried it. Keep in mind this is a work in progress game:

If you do wish to check it out now, you can grab it from the official site.

I guess the % of games available on Linux isn't half bad either :)
I really like the game but haven't played it for a while. It has a nice feel to it and the planet looks really nice. You do have to plan and use your brain but I guess that's a good thing :P

Last I checked, it was only Universim that had Linux support. I see they have since added Jettomero, Astrokill, and Crest, so it's nice to see the list growing.

Last time I looked it was only Universim and Jettomero, so yeah. Good to see there's more now.
Honestly I didn't realise Astrokill was part of their stable.
