Jack Keane, originally released on Linux in 2011, is now available again through Desura :
Jack Keane
The price is relatively low for a Rune Soft game : 8,99 €
Jack Keane is an adventure/comic game taking place in 19th century. It is also available on Windows and Mac OS X (not through Desura).
Summary :
"Colonial England. Under a certain amount of… duress… Jack takes on a job which will not only cause him a great deal of trouble, but also bring to light the answer to a mystery out of his distant past. A lack of money leads Jack to accept a charter to take a British secret agent to mysterious “Tooth Island”. When Jack’s ship shatters on the mysterious island’s cliffs on arrival and the secret agent quickly becomes a meal for a monster in the jungle, Jack is soon left to cope with the situation on his own. “ Tooth Island” is ruled by the strange Doctor T, who is cultivating man-eating plants and has his own dastardly plans for the British Empire. And why does he seem to know Jack, who can’t remember ever having been on Tooth Island? What are Doctor T's plans? And what does he know about Jack’s past?" Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I wonder what took so long when it came to getting the game out or private beta.
Regardless, it is still great to see Runesoft's titles popping up on Desura. :)

Yeah, I asked RuneSoft about this, and they said that depending on how well their back catalog does on Desura, they want to bring the Ankh games, as well as games that have never been on Linux before, like Jack Keane and the Fire Within and Ankh 3.
I really hope that works out!

As far as I can determine the already ported Ankh games are a given, since Runesoft's developers already mentioned applying fixes to them that they discovered when working on Jack Keane. The ones that have yet to be ported are still up in the air at this point I believe.

Their developers comment frequently on their Desura pages and tend to answer inquiries.
