Game Dev Studio, another game to let you attempt to rise to greatness in the games industry just recently added a Linux version.

Here's what they said about it:

With that said, the game now features a Linux build on the default (non-develop) branch of the game. This does not mean that the game officially supports Linux yet (it will when Update #23 is released). However it does mean that support for it is right around the corner. So if you have any friends that have been interested in the game, but weren't able to play it because they run Linux, now is a good time to tell them that this is about to change! As usual, because this content is still in-development, there may be stability issues with it. It's best to wait until Update #23 is formally released before trying out the Linux build of the game.

As the developer said, it might be best to wait until the next update where it will have "official" support. Still, it's really great to see more developers put up early Linux builds to get more feedback and it's something I applaud.

The game does sound quite interesting and a little more open than previous attempts at this type of game. With the ability to expand by purchasing new buildings, dealing with building game engines as well as the games, various forms of advertising, the ability to buy out your competitors along with different game modes. It certainly sounds quite interesting.

Find it on Steam.

This is awesome! I do have it, but since it was on Windows I haven't done a let's try on it yet. Might as soon as there's official Linux support to showcase it.
