Good news for fans of EVERSPACE [Steam, Official Site], as the DLC has released today and it should work on Linux soon. Also, the Linux version will come to GOG.
The new DLC named Encounters, adds in a new medium fighter craft, five new quest lines with new characters to meet, six new primary and secondary weapons and more devices like an EMP Generator and Decoy Holograms. On top of that, there's also new G&B factory stations, new skins and finally even more achievements to hunt down and secure.
With the game being unofficially released on Steam (downloads, but no SteamOS icon), I was curious to know with the DLC release today if the Linux version would see get access. So I spoke with the developer on Twitter about the DLC + Linux support and they said:
Should go live unofficially on Steam later today. To release officially and also on GOG we first have to migrate the whole project to UE4.17
To make it absolutely clear, I also asked them directly about GOG + Linux support and they said:
Affirmative!
Hopefully those of you wanting it on GOG will be rather pleased about this news. It's great that more people will be able to enjoy it, since it is damn fun!

Quoting: ShmerlNot sure how much of that effort comes from GOG. Whether to release for Linux or not depends more on developers doing it.
My guess that there is, ofc, no opposition to Linux from GOG but efforts is rather small. For bigger titles, i suppose, they show more interest then smaller titles.
And there was cases when developers said "we have sent port to GOG" but games not appeared at all. RWS said that about Postal 2 several times and Banner saga developers too. Considering fact that Banner Saga port is poor (flash related crap) maybe GOG did not approved it?

Quoting: KuromiQuoting: Sir_DiealotQuoting: KuromiLately it seems that GOG putting little more efforts in Linux on GOG. Bunch of new releases (like Dungeons 3), some old ports finally arrived too.
Which old ports arrived?
Dust earlier this year, Tiny and big just several weeks ago. Yeah, not much, but....
Oh I'm glad Dust finally arrived (what was it seven years late?). Never heard of Tiny and Big. Better than nothing indeed...
