Thimbleweed Park [Steam, GOG, Official Site], from Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick has officially released for Linux today and it has day-1 Linux support.
I don't have any contacts with the developer and previous messages went unanswered, so sadly it's not one I will personally be covering in any detail.
It looks like we have another success story thanks to Kickstarter, where the developers raised a tidy sum of $626,250!

Glad to see a successful Linux release after all the "Sorry, but we decided last night that we don't want to do Linux after all, despite we promised." news we had lately.

Just bought it, will try to alternate it with Zelda breaks. A shame we have good weather in London now and can't pull that excuse off to stay home xD

It feels really really nice to play Thimbleweed Park. I would strongly recommend this one to everyone that has the slightest history with Lucas adventure games and actually to anybody else too ;)
PS: It runs perfectly on Linux!
