L would love to play this. Pandoras Tower JRPG was epic, I hope this will be too.

I was using Game Maker in 2004, I guess if it came to Linux that would be nice, but I honestly don't care much.

We game devs have our choice of Unity, Torque2D became MIT last I heard and now I'm turned on to Haxe and Enigma, I'm sure we'll be better than fine.

Last time I tried GameMaker it was a mess of a application and slow.

This article's title is misleading - it should read something more like:
DOTA 2 hits 1 million players online at the same time.

There are infact 11,000,000 unique players and not 1,000,000 that login each month. To anyone who says LOL trumps in players because they claim 40,000,000 players - that's nonsensical as the metric can't be compared. LOL counts players by the # the accounts registered, not by logins this month.

Between my girl and me we have 6 accounts, neither of us have played LOL in over a year as it runs like crap on WINE and Riot Games doesn't care. (DOTA has gained 6 million playes in about 8 months and made 40 Million Dollars off this years championship event in a matter of weeks.) LOL's fate is sealed - it will be a game for tweens, noobs, moms and baddies who can't handle the complexity of actives in DOTA whilest attracted to the boobage of Sona, Ahri and other champions.

Riot Games are lazy and too busy partying snorting cocaine off iphones while partying with young girls to do anything to enrich LOL suchas - I don't know - bring it to Linux and gain a highly technical market that spends lots of time and money on their PCs. Nope. But oh we're given a awesome new Reddit style forums that everyone hates, we get a music album and music videos - OMG LOL is sooo amazzzing!!! But hey! What else would you expect a company located in Orange County California? And now they're owned by the Chinese.

I have one last bone to pick - and that's the Riot Games strategically nurfs and buffs champions in order to perpetuate skin sales thereby putting cash into their bank, it's a ruthless tactic where your favorite hero's stats get dumped when X New Skin comes out for X Champion that just got buffed.

On the other hand, the strategic and intelligent valve rewards players for playing by giving random item and skin drops that entice players into playing more games. Skins, and Items are 90% cheaper than in LOL and players can resell items on the Steam Marketplace when they get tired or get a new preferred skin set. Valve is Genius.

The greed and lazyness of LOL has ruined LOL for me and many others.

(To those saying X DOTA2 player was moody/bitch and a bad experience, there's a mute button on the score screen - mute players on a per-player basis - so much better than when LOL disabled chatting with the enemy team.)

I enjoyed the gamecast, I can't wait to download and try it out.

They really should release this on Steam as FreeToPlay, it would significantly help them to have a distribution mechanism keeping all users at the latest version automatically.

This is great news, I used Construct 2 while on windows - It'll be nice to revisit it as I'm now Linux dependent.

If this game does play like Halo / Section 8 Prejudice and comes on Linux, count me in - I've been looking for a playful FPS for a long time to quench my Halo 3 thirst on XPC.

The camera in this game sticks as bad as sticky marshmallow hands. The learning curve seems really sharp, I was hoping for a StarCraft like RTS, Planetary Annihilation is not, it's its own animal.

Been waiting for this to launch Linux before I threw in my cash. Since I waited nearly 8 months I guess I can wait till it goes on sale a little bit before adding it to my collection.

Good deal.

Quoting: StianTheDarkI never got this survey popup, so I think there's something fishy about Steam Hardware Surveys..

I've gotten the survey 3 times in the last year on 2 computers. Granted my library is about 100+ Linux Games and I play DOTA. (Also I'm exclusive to Linux and login to steam daily.)

I've gotten it twice on ElementaryOS and once on Arch. Granted I do have at least 6 Linux PCs I manage.
