Hi

Some of you are long-time Linux users, and you probably remember Raptor: Call of the Shadows. It was available for Linux many years ago, and it was a highly addictive game. However, I know that some new Linux users never heard about it:

Mountain King Studios is a company that was founded by Scott Host. Interestingly, Sam Lantinga was one of the people that helped Scott Host to port the first version of Raptor for Linux.
He is currently working on the new version of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, and it will be available for Linux. He frequently publishes new videos about it:

I know that the beta version of this game isn't available yet. However, it was officially confirmed on his Patreon page:

I have to admit that I'm happier when companies decide to re-release improved versions of the classics games than new for Linux.
