Beyond Blue looks like a wonderful narrative adventure, one made with the help of real science and they recently announced a June 11 release date.
The press email only mentioned "PC" which is usually used in place of Windows and then specific consoles, so we looked to get that cleared up since it was originally announced for Linux. When speaking to the developer E-Line Media about the Linux version they stated, "The production team is working out a plan that will launch Linux as soon as we are able.". Good to see it's still coming!

I am interested in this, but this statement is not promising:
Two weeks from release and they don't yet have a plan for releasing on Linux.
Really they should have had Linux builds going throughout the development process, to more easily find Windows bugs if nothing else. This sounds quite a lot like they're going to wait a while after release (because release time is hectic for everyone) and then discover that it's toooo haaaard and throw their hands up in the air. As we've seen too many developers do in the past.
I hope I'm wrong.

This game seems to be 100% my jam, but I agree with CatKiller that the "working on it" with regard to Linux doesn't lend much confidence. I was really hoping we'd be day 1 instead of an afterthought, but here we are I guess.

Which translates to: Never.

Quoting: CatKillerI am interested in this, but this statement is not promising:I agree. Developers that focus on Windows first and then try to back their way into Linux after the project is done always run into problems.

I believe I am following this on my wishlist on Steam and it only says Windows, at this time. I think I had originally put it on my wishlist when I read about it in an article, here.
