This looks great, but with the amount of kickstarter campaigns not delivering on their Linux pledges recently, I won't hold my breath.

Quoting: soulsource[...]I'm curious: Why would using ALSA directly cause such issues?

Because most distributions these days use PulseAudio and accessing ALSA directly can cause... issues. If he/she means using the ALSA API instead, then PulseAudio should intercept that just fine.

I've had my fill of clerical and data entry work over the years, so I'd normally not even glance at this, but gaming to JoCo tunes? That's actually kind of appealing

Quoting: GuestI sure as hell would come across annoyances too if I had to setup a build environment on Windows or OSX!

I've had the honour a few months ago. Getting anything working on Windows is a huge PITA if one is used to code on Linux.

Quoting: GuestEdit: the blog post says:

QuoteIf your system has X11, ALSA for audio, and an OpenGL 3.2 driver, it should be good.

so it looks like it will be good indeed. Not sure if using ALSA directly is a good idea but we’ll see how much stuttering and crackling people get :)..

I was given this for Xmas back in 2014, and I've been dying to play it ever since. I tried to install it with Wine, but the Steam version would run at a decent speed for about three minutes before slowing down and locking up, so I finally gave up. It'll be a real treat to finally get to play it.

Looks awesome. I wish the body parts were a bit more cartoony looking since the realistic textures give me a bit of an uncanny valley vibe.
I look forward to trying it out.

I certainly love space games. I just wish it wasn't "rogue-like".

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTWhile waiting for the Linux version I could recommend you playing X3 series: I do LOVE that game! It's more a simulation but also the fights are quite fun. So the plan is:

Playing X2 until EVERSPACE releases and play that one until Star Citizen will be released. :D

It looks like this one is very different from the X games though

NICE!
Looks a bit like warframe in space from the mechanics. Just not F2P and with UE4 :-)

I hope Linux comes soon!

I am a fan of space sim/exploration games, and even if this is an action game, it is a sure buy for me. I'll try to play it with my hotas, and I hope it will support VR on Linux, that would be insanely cool!

Shit, I like this.

I wonder if Unreal will be already using Vulkan by the time they'll be working on the Linux version.

Quoting: dean36963Perfect game if you want to check that you can touch type in a hurry!
But this game could be very tense if your keyboard looks like this:

Makes no difference if you can touch type, I'd imagine. ;)

Yea! Judging by the trailer this is the kind of game I've been waiting for. It looks awesome. I've been wanting to shoot stuff in space for a while now.

Too bad they are going for the populair option of "porting" to linux and not developing it as a first party platform. I genuinely want to play this as soon as it is out but I'll likely have to wait another six months post-release.

Hmm maybe this can hold me over until Star Citizen?

Quoting: Avehicle7887I like this guy, a brutally honest dev and likes to write in details. I can see he has taken many things into careful consideration such as OpenGL 3.2 and common Linux libraries which are found in most of today's distros.

10/10 I'm sold.

That sounds interesting, do you have some links you could share?

He talks about it directly in the blog post linked.

Looks great. I hope they'll release it on GOG. I like such space games.

UPDATE: from their KS page:

QuoteWill you also release DRM-free on GOG? How does DRM-free work with Steam?

Yep! We just cannot edit the description of the tiers that have already been pledged on - many thanks - anymore. On Steam we gonna use the client only for distribution and maintenance. Once you have downloaded EVERSPACE you don't have to run the Steam client anymore to play. You can read more about this here. http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games

About GOG, we have reached out to the guys and they really like EVERSPACE from what they can see and that the community is excited about it too. We definitely want to release EVERSPACE on GOG but the game has to be officially approved by them first. However, we don't have any doubt that we will pass their testing as we have passed even the most akward tests supporting hundreds of different devices for mobile carriers back in the days.

What about Mac/Linux Support?

Yes, we definitely plan on releasing on Mac and Linux, however the inital launch will be on PC and depending on the amount of money we raise the Mac and Linux port will come sooner or later.

Update: We heard you and we pushed the Mac & Linux support up to stretch goal #1!

Well this is just fantastic news... I didn't even know a linux port was in the works for this. It was on my steam wishlist for a while but I dropped it after I fully switched to linux and cleaned out the windows-only games from my wishlist. Will definitely be a day one purchase once the port is ready.

This game is fantastic, anyone how likes city building/survival will love it.

I already got all achievements streaming it to my linux htpc using steam's in-home-streaming, but now I'll have to pick it up again :D

I've been sent a key, so looks like I will be doing a thoughts bit on it.

This is THE game I was waiting for!

I really liked the "Typing of the Dead" series.

I'm a backer of the Kickstarter campaign and I'm very excited about it. We actually covered it in The Funding Crowd #41. ;)

Quoting: LinasI had to google for what a steno keyboard is, but now I am even more puzzled about how it works. Where would one even get such a thing?

If you follow the rabbit hole deep enough: http://stenoknight.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_Plover.3F

I don't think I'll be talking up stenography any time soon, but after just 15 minutes of playing the first song "I'm your Moon" (a great looking playlist by the way) I can get about 65-75% accuracy on a standard QWERTY keyboard and I can feel my speed improving.

I really like the idea of this, even if you only take it as a typing of the dead style game (which the negative reviews on steam seem to).

I wishlisted this because I love open worlds and I love creating things that serve functions.

Yep... Game now launches for me as well. I can't connect to the multiplayer servers though. Although I'm almost certain I screwed something up in my firewall settings, and so I'm almost certain this is my fault here...
