Good news everyone! The UnEarth Initiative have done their Linux testing and they have announced via carrier pidgeon that they will infact be able to offer Linux support without a stretch goal on their campaign, hooray!

imageTheir many fans will be happy, If you don't get that reference you are dead to me.

If you remember on the 4th of this month, I spoke to them about their campaign here, so go read it!

They are looking to get $200,000 and now pledges of nearly $18,000 have come in with 23 days still to go they have their work cut out for them, below is their announcement:
QuoteWe'd been holding off on promising UnEarth for Linux because we've never made a game run on Linux before and we didn't know how much trouble it would be. But we decided to give it a shot... And it turns out getting the game running on Linux caused us exactly zero-point-zero units of trouble*. So we are pleased to officially announce that UnEarth is now a PC/Mac/Linux title!

About
Every new game of UnEarth Initiative begins with your ship suffering an unfortunate crash landing on an alien world - a testament to the United Earth Alliance's interest in its colonization program and in your personal safety. Each game takes place on a procedurally generated world, where you'll try to survive by digging deep to build an underground base, finding your own food sources, exploring the outer reaches of the planet, and dealing diplomatically (or aggressively) with a variety of alien life you discover there.

Features
  • Procedurally Generated Worlds!
  • Programmable Rovots (with sharable programs)!
  • Dead colonies become archaeological sites in other players' games!
  • Unique alien races, plants, and creatures!
  • Colonists with personality quirks and upgradable skills!
  • We will support PC, Mac and Linux, so you can play on the platform of your choice.


You don't often see someone talk about stretch goals, try it and then straight up put Linux in, so that's put the developers up in my books a little hooray! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
