From their kickstarter page:

Sadly, we will need a little more time to finish the Linux and Mac versions. We want to apologize for it, but it will take about 2 additional months after the release. To all those who were waiting for such version, I want to sincerely apologize for the small delay.

Also, keep in mind it's using Unity3D Engine.

Quoting: Username already takenSpacious Skies... Spacious Sky... No Man's Sky... it's a pretty spacious game right? ;)
The bongo is just a red herring. :P
If NMS came to Linux I'd be in heaven. :D

... seriously though, no chance this is NMS.

I'm hoping No Man's Sky will be an in-house port so we don't get that performance hit from Feral. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't unless the hype has gone to their heads and they think they're too good for us now. :)

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is why it's so important to encourage developers to make their games with OpenGL (or even better: Vulkan) in mind from the beginning. I'm curious to find out how much better it will be (if at all) translating from DirectX 12 to Vulkan.

Quoting: omer666TressFX just kills my GTX660. Other than this it seems to run pretty well on Ultra, I'll see if it stays playable.

If I remember correctly TressFX is AMD tech and it used to kill fps on NVIDIA cards also when TR came out. A lot of time has passed since then. Did they change the tech to work well on NVIDIA cards as well? Otherwise I would say it's expected behavior (regardless of OS). I'll give a try too now.

I think they did make a few patches to improve performance, but Nvidia probably also made driver changes to accommodate it. It wouldn't be surprising to learn those accommodations never made it into the Linux drivers.

Hopefully, this sets the stage for a Sleeping Dogs port.

Quoting: CandricSWhat is a fourth-person?

First-person is when you're seeing from the point of view of the character and third-person is when you're observing the character as if there was a camera there. What would fourth-person be?

Just taking a guess here, but maybe you don't control the person at all, just the environment. Or maybe you make suggestions to the character and they may or may not listen? I have no idea. :S:

It reminds me of the building/crafting component of Fallout 4.

Quoting: garyzwThe West seems to cower in fear to ISIS. They can blow up our people, they can behead, slaughter them and the West's response is to lets not offend them they will stop, They will not stop until Islam rules the worlds. That means, no more Christian, no more atheists, no Buddhist. All will have to convert to Islam. That is what is coming unless they are stopped.

Ah, so you drank the propaganda kool-aid too, huh? If you really look at the numbers, almost all the people they kill are Muslims. Doesn't that strike you as odd? If they're trying to take over the western world and make you Muslim, they're doing a horrible job of it, and you have nothing to fear. ISIS, IS, ISIL, I-POD, whatever you want to call them is just the latest boogeyman western countries are using to spread FUD. They are really an insignificant group with a small following in the big scheme of things. We're not talking about a nation of hundreds of millions of people.

When you run the Vulkan drivers, do they function well/normally with the desktop and other games, or do you have to switch back to other drivers when you're not testing Vulkan?

Wow, that was fast. Or were they nearly finished with it when they released the demo?
