ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game -- Linux build released. Not a stretch.

Pathologic 2 -- Failed. Not a stretch.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark -- Linux build released. Not a stretch.
Added, thank you.

If the developer has said "Sorry for the delay. We don't know how long it will be, but we hope to still release to Linux eventually" - That is "Failed (but might still appear)" for me.

I believe these on the current "Failed" list qualify:
INSOMNIA: The Ark
Pathologic 2
The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep


And here are some additions to the list:

1) Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded, released, looks like it *was* a stretch goal

2) Nekro, failed, but Windows version was eventually removed from Steam also, so maybe it doesn't count

3) Spaceventure, supposedly still in development (after many years!)

If the developer has said "Sorry for the delay. We don't know how long it will be, but we hope to still release to Linux eventually" - That is "Failed (but might still appear)" for me.

I believe these on the current "Failed" list qualify:
INSOMNIA: The Ark
Pathologic 2
The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep
All three are already listed as such.

I will be going over all your suggestions when I can, thank you!

Wild Mage: Phantom Twilight promised Linux/Mac at $40k, reached it, yet to be delivered (currently in alpha though).

Also, changing page feels bad because it doesn't snap back to the top. I'm not sure I want it to snap back to the top, but maybe snapping back to the bottom would be nice.

Thanks, that has been added.

I do agree about the scroll though, especially if people use the option to make pages longer. I've added a simple and quick scroll to the top of the list in that case.

Dropped by fig and noticed Vagrus
https://www.fig.co/campaigns/vagrus-the-riven-realms

It is called open access, has Linux support and drm free, with aim of a gog release.

From the FAQ it looks like a Linux build is already available.

You know I'm surprised I missed it since I have it. Perhaps I missed it due to it using a hybrid model of crowdfunding and early access, I guess it still counts though. Added, thanks.

DUELYST had Linux support unlocked at first stretch goal. As far as I can tell they never kept their promise and never will because the servers will close on February 27th, 2020 at 3PM PST.

Seems they are doing a PS5 game, which likely took a ton of their resources away from the game. Sad.

The Linux release of Pathfinder: Kingmaker was actually a stretch goal. It's currently listed as "No". It was the stretch goal for $700,000, and is also mentioned as such in their FAQ.

Right now, we are focusing on our PC release. MAC & Linux support has also been unlocked by our amazing backers! We are definitely considering a release on consoles and tablets as the next step for Pathfinder: Kingmaker after our PC, Mac and Linux launch.

The developer column is empty as well btw, which is "Owlcat Games".

Well, this is outrageous (believe me, I know).
At least, this should be noted here.

Do we have a list of "Kickstarter Scammer Developers"?

Damn. I've commented on Steam to get them to talk about it and noted it as a Fail on on Crowdfund Page.

Thanks Liam, as always.
Speaking of refund I don't believe it, as I already have the game on GOG, I think it would be difficult...
