Skullgirls For Linux Confirmed

Quoting: Kameif the Linux version is actually going to be native. I remember them talking about a possible cider mac port.

I recall this as well, although it doesn't really matter to me if its native or not as long as its supported I am ok with them using any method possible.

Quoting: foobIsn't the first Homeworld already ported for Linux as the source is available? I guess that's what they've gotten running on the touch devices...

It's still not fully ported -- http://homeworldsdl.org/ -- still has missing features.

Well, the funding campaign is for quite a few things (including the DLC) but most importantly it's to help with the PC release (and now Linux), At the $30 backer level you get a steam code for the PC release, as well as access to the PC beta. Someone should find out if there will be a Linux beta, as well as if the Linux version is actually going to be native. I remember them talking about a possible cider mac port.

Even if they don't have the licence yet -- this is still low risk.

Quoting: ganooATTENTION: THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE LICENSE TO HOMEWORLD!
I have noted that at the bottom of the article. Still it's a worthy cause to me to not let a good IP die and have it cross platform.

Looks like it's a DLC.
Will I really get the game if I pay $5? o.0

Yep :) I "installed" it when it had no binary assigned, then a few hours later I came back and there it was! I totally forgot how fun using the physics is :P

Quoting: liamdaweNothing like Frozen Synapse, it's all real time, you only control your character, it's a top down action shooter.

Ah, suppose I should bother to watch the video then! :)

Yeah, that was the first time I've played DoD in a good few years and they've obviously upped the engine version to the same as CSS -- has some nice effects and the addition of Domination etc is great (as well as all the achievements).

Not sure which bit you mean by sword, but the guy at the end killed me with a shovel :P (I got stuck on a crate).

Wow, the Source version looks so much more sexy!
Awesome video man, I think I might just get DoD Source when it goes on sale. I like how the dead-camera has that vintage filter, and was someone running with a sword? Hehe :)

Wow...this looks really great. Even though I don't like Multiplayer games, I really want to play this. Can't wait! =)

Woot, another set of cool games added to the Linux library!

I only have the oldschool DoD, not the Source one but I made a small gameplay video of it if you'd like to see it in action :)  (You might want to skip to 3:10 if you're just interested in watching a match)
View video on youtube.com

Another quality port from Valve. I really can't wait for CS:GO and L4D one and two. I remember trying so hard with Wine back when the first L4D was released, good times :P

It's one of the very few FPS games in the WW2 style I actually like, I only mainly like modern shooters but something about DoD:source kept me interested!

Was never really in to DoD, but always good to see another of Valve's games ported :)

That's no client update at all, not just the Linux version (as far as I can tell).

Thank you very much and actually you right about corrupted build. Yesterday I tried to make a test build and engine exported very corrupted one which crashes with known error (and the only known fix about it is to reinstall unity, yes).Though it doesn't explain why another user who reported about sucessful launch didn't encountered this.
