We wrote about Hero of the Kingdom way back in 2013, and it looks like the porting has finally begun!

Speaking on their steam forum they said this:
QuoteLinux porting is in progress. Currently we are moving all Direct3D things to OpenGL.


Nice to see they are active, and it's in progress!

my oppinion: "were currently moving al Direct3D things to openGL"
well if you developped the game in OpenGL in the first place that would save a lot of effort

Yeah well hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it, and we can't expect everyone to start with what would be ideal for us :)

While I totally agree and use OpenGL myself I see why some devs didn't care. DirectX provided much more than only Direct3D. To get the same you'd need to use OpenAL and many more things and combine them yourself, instead of just using a "complete package".
