Sven Co-op, a co-operative game originally based around Half-Life now on Linux in Alpha

Sven Co-op is a still rather popular standalone modification for Half-Life that has just gained a Linux version.

The game is completely free and you don't need to own Half-Life to play it!

Major changes
- All components now compile successfully in Linux allowing us to provide an alpha state of the game client.
-- The Linux client is provided literally as is. (We know there will be plenty of bugs.)
-- No official presence on the Steam store will be indicated yet.
-- No official support will be mainstream as this is not considered a finished product at all.
- Fixed a severe stability issue when the entity count exceeds 2048.
- Fixed three causes of svc_bad drops.
- Map Robination is back with a major revise.
- Map Sector E has been removed by author request.
- Removed software rendering mode.

I'm downloading it right now if anyone would like to give it a go with me later tonight, unless I completely burn-out after last nights livestream that is! I'm running on fumes right now.

About the game
Sven Co-op is a co-operative game originally based around Valve Software's Half-Life. In this game players must work together against computer controlled enemies and solve puzzles as a team.

While Sven Co-op is similar to Half-Life with similar weapons, monsters, and characters, the difficulty has been increased to suit team play.
