Monsters & Monocles looks absolutely fantastic and they need help on Steam Greenlight in the way of votes. Luckily it will support Linux from day one.
If greenlit the game will go into Early Access to help the developers work out any kinks across the different platforms, and they did confirm to me Linux is planned for day one:
@gamingonlinux we don't have a release date set, linux is planned for day 1, will likely do early access so interested folks can help us ...

@gamingonlinux ... work out kinks across platforms as we go

Direct Link
The developer also stated they are already testing the game in Ubuntu & SteamOS right now, so it should be a pretty good experience for Linux gamers when it comes out.

It supports co-op play over the net and locally on one screen for utter maddness.
