Leadwerks the game engine and visual editor that successfully crowdfunded itself to come to Linux has been shown off a bit.

In the latest kickstarter update Josh showed it off:

Currently still very rough, this is Leadwerks on Linux using OpenGL4.

I cannot wait to see if anyone uses this tool to publish games onto Linux, especially with Josh the owner of Leadwerks saying things like:
QuoteLinux has the fastest possible performance for 3D rendering, so it will be interesting to see what we can do with it.

Seems we have a believer here.

Considering Unity has no Linux editor yet, it's possible people start to sway towards it.

Update:
3D rendering now working!

Can't wait to see this released. I wonder if it'll bring a swarm of news games to Linux, much like the Unity engine has done so far. Shame Unreal aren't picking up on this.
