I have been really looking forward to playing Legend of Grimrock 2 soon. Unfortunately, the game is not available for Linux yet, and as it seems it's not certain whether we will see it on Linux at all. I have emailed the developers asking about Linux availability, and this is the response I got:

Hey Kamil,
Unfortunately we can't promise a linux port at this moment.
It's up to you to deduce how likely we are to see a Linux version in the future, but it certainly won't be soon.
Maybe, if there's a strong support under this article, I can send a link back to them and it might convince them a bit more that the demand is here. Or maybe you have better ideas. Anyway, this is really bad news for dungeon crawling fans. :( Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Well, I bought LoG 1 on GoG for Windows when it was on sale. Developers never mentioned Linux version, so I took it on Windows (I really wanted this game). After one week LoG was on HB with Linux version! Damn, what a surprise! So I was counted as Windows user and had to wait about one year for Linux version on GoG (I really did not want buy it again, on HB. And play it on Windows when Linux version was released? Heh...).
I will not do the same mistake again, sorry guys, I am buying only Linux games now.
Sorry for my bad English, I am little bit angry now :><:

I'm still hoping for LoG II on Linux. It just would be a shame if we didn't get the second one on Linux.

I enjoyed LoG1 VERY much. But if they don't release LoG2 for Linux they lose my attraction for ever.
IMO Almost Human CANNOT do this. It's like a slap in the face to release part 1 but not part2.
This news must be a bad joke!!!!!!
I hope Almost Human rethink their decision an don't turn to ALMOST EVIL.
Sorry for my words, but reading this makes me realy speechless and angry.

Just wait and see...
They wrote "can't promise" not something like "very unlikely".

That's actually my story as well, almost verbatim.

I love Grimrock, and will buy the sequel if and only if it's released on Linux. I would seriously love to play this game, but unless they step up that's unfortunately not happening.

I actually expected the same day release so I got confused when I saw it wasn't ported. If it was I would already buy it. Without a Linux port it's a no go for me.

It's sad to see a developer go back on Linux support, but... I was pretty disappointed with the first game, so it's not a huge loss for me.

It's uncertain if I will buy it.

I'm pretty certain that LOG was ported to Linux by Humble Bundle for HIB7 and that Almost Human had nothing much to do with the actual Linux port. So as other people have said, if they don't want our money now, play something else for the next year or so and pick up LOG2 for a dollar in HIB20 or whatever.

I actually went to buy this game a few weeks ago, but noticed a lack of penguin. I looked into it and decided to wait and see. Yup, that was a good call. Well, if they don't want my money that's a shame but there isn't anything I can do about it.

I was planning on buying two copies at full price when a native version was released because I really liked the first instalment. During the development they said they would consider porting after the release. If they are still undecided/uncertain even after the game had its release...then the only thing I can say is this; They just went down a notch on my (Linux) reputation scale. "No Tux, no bux".

I really enjoyed the first LoG. It would be very disappointing if the sequel never made it to our OS.

[/quote]Well, at least for classic adventure lovers (like me), there is maybe the best news in this month. Ron Gilbert (creator of Maniac Mansion and co-creator of Monkey Island) has just announced a campaign on Kickstarter. Thimbleweed Park will be available on Linux! And I have absolutely no doubt that this will get funded! ^_^

I for one would appreciate a Linux version. Would most certainly speed up my purchase of LOG 2 :)

Well, at least we hit 800 games ( [http://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=linux&category1=998](http://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=linux&category1=998) ) - now Steam for Linux has more games than the PS3!
That's great indeed, but what Linux would need are games like:
GTA V
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Far Cry 4
+ other big releases huge amount of gamers cares about.
Without big titles like those Steam Machines are going to compete against OUYA.
I would very much like to see LoG 2 on Linux and of course *all* possible games on Linux. LoG 1 was okeish but to me it felt dungeon crawler for casual gamers. Especially if one had experience with dungeon crawlers from 80s/90s.

I hope so, but the actual flow of SteamOS updates is stopped...
Since the beggining of the project, when they release an update to Alchemist, they immediately start a new round on Alchemist-beta. Right now, it is stopped to Update 145 on Alchemist.
What does that mean? SteamOS is almost complete? What about the online video service that Valve promised (Netflix and the likes)?
And now developers that drops Linux support... It makes me wonder...
Exactly. Earlier SteamOS got client updates daily and OS updates at least once in month. Nowadays no updates at all.
SteamOS is far from ready at least on my setup. Daily crashes, stuttering (Big Picture included), performance problems, etc. It is hard to see that final version would be only some months away.
Lack of SteamOS updates and Valve being silent is worrying. Valve has not yet gave any reasons for gamers to wait Steam Machines. DX12 is coming which makes situation even worse.

I think it's kind of dumb that developers back from the platform that will have a major increase in importance next year.

I discovered the Legend of Grimrock quite recently, and I liked it, it reminded me of old games like Might & Magic and Eye of the Beholder. I haven't played it yet, but I am going to.
LoG2 looks promising, but it's sad that developers decided to drop Linux platform. I'm not going to buy it, until they make Linux version. Even if it runs through wine.
Update: Bought the first game, having great time playing it ;) I hope that there will be Linux version of LoG2 eventually.
