All I know is I've been playing jedi knight jedi academy for the last 9 years, and if there is anything I can do to help know that it is my best interest in playing a steam copy of jedi knight academy for linux.

Kind of neat. I actually got a Prey/Penumbra vibe off some of it.

Guess i'd be interested: never played on a server before.  :)

My guess?  3-4 months for the DRM-free Linux version.  Or, 4-6 months for everything if they bother to do the editor.  Less by a month or so, for the Steam Linux version.

So, we'll soon see how right or wrong I am :D

Air Forte is the only game I paid for.  I had AZS already, and (as you all mentioned) the others are not ported to Linux.  I like Brendon Chung, and I feel that he's worth supporting, but I won't pay for Win/Mac games (except certain classics off of GOG if their engine has been reimplemented, as with ScummVM/ResidualVM/GemRB).

I am also unhappy with the turn the Humble store has taken, but I don't feel it's any less worthy of my support than, for example, Desura.  Unfortunately... it's not more worthy, either.

me too! I ahve all the bundles before they've started the "weekly sale" . I feel like the weekly sales and mobile bundle outright suck! (mobile one because of only mobile support, weekly sale because of horrible games)

Sure, I'd be interested in playing on a GOL server, I guess. With some fun mods and so.

I'll wait, as long as it reasonable (1-2 months)

Quoting: Orkultus"Rather than delay the entire release of the game to everyone, we're going to focus on the non-Linux platforms first as they have the most support and are the furthest along in development." <---

Umm Non-Linux platforms have the most support??? Do they have any idea how huge the Linux community is, when it comes to support? As for furthest along in Development.... Linux grows everyday. This sounds like a company who has just no idea on how to code for Linux.

It's just like another dev, ive been dealing with (creator of Frozen Nightmare) in Desura. For months, the linux version was having a mouse stuck issue, and everyone was trying to tell the dev that it was a problem. About two or three weeks ago, i had to ask him "Do you even have a Linux computer to test your builds with?" He responded, "No, we just started to test it on about 2 days ago". Although the entire time they offered a Linux version, that people would buy just to find out it wasn't playable.

I dont see Shadowrun Returns hitting linux anytime soon. Even though it was promised as one of their stretch goals. Oh well.. they already have the money from that.

It's Unity Engine. The Unity toolchain is only actually supported under Windows and OS X (the OS is not called Mac, FYI), so it makes debugging on Linux a major pain in the ass. It sucks, but I wouldn't rush to blame the developer for it.

I just hope Shadowrun Returns is actually released at all. They said to VG247 they have 'spent every penny' and were looking for further investment because the wild and extravagant stretch goals they chose... at least it will come to Linux eventually.

From the looks of it, I can't say that Gnomoria's graphics is superior to Towns.
maybe the engine is (with the zoom capability) and the UI, but I like Towns game graphics - much more.
But I suppose that I'll buy Gnomoria sooner or later...

Once i get better at coding, i plan to make a Linux only Dev group.

@fedso: True True, but we will soon be ahead of that.

Shadowrun Return on Linux was promised for a later release since the beginning (update #4) so the Linux quote doesn't really change anything, moreover also the other versions are late since the game was supposed to be released in January, that is good news since it probably means a richer more polished game.

QuoteNow if you’re a Linux-only user, you’ll have to wait for your version, but from what you’ve told us, you’re willing to do that.

@Orkultus: I don't like to say it but although Linux community is very active, Linux is still the smallest market compared to Win & Mac...

Devs won't be forced into OpenGL at all, they will continue to blindly use DirectX (just like lots do with XNA) even as it gets old like they do currently and it will continue to happen until Windows market share declines (which according to news reports is happening already).

The main problem is people still just think Windows is the norm (because a lot of kids are brought up with tech challenged parents who know nothing of the tech world outside of Windows) which a lot of the time it is.

It's improving as more major places support Linux but we still have ways to go. The best thing to do is not to just not support developers but to help educate them and eventually it will be unacceptable to release crappy Linux version or to not have one at all.

Best thing to do, if they have another Kickstarter for another Game, just don't back it. Interesting thing about Linux coding: I read a lot of Dev blogs and it seems like none of them have any idea how to code for Linux, they blindly port their games.

A few I can think of are the games: "Star Shipping Inc." and "Legend of Dungeon". On Legend, some folks were having some issues and support trying to help but had no idea how to resolve the issue on Linux, didn't even know the file structure.

Also, most don't even have Linux installed, they simply test their game with a VM and LiveCD. It's a really pathetic state we are in right now. But on the bright side, their won't be any new version of DirectX anymore, according to AMD and Microsoft (MS said XNA); so Devs will be forced now to write in OpenGL.

I gave up with the Frozen Nightmare dev because of that, will no longer be giving them any traffic for selling a non working, non supported and non tested Linux version. They changed their name too FYI.

As for this news, it does seem a little shady but we will eventually see a Linux release...when who knows!
