Though I managed to run Rune on modern distros, I would love to have Rune AND Deus Ex implementations. That would be the most anticipated engine reimplantation project!

That numpad looks ugly and unnecessary. They should have gone to ROG Strix G15/16 route.

Cannot... Did the last big hit before end of regional pricing in Turkey. Oh well, it was a good ride.

It's not clear if they still plan to provide Native Linux support, but at least if they keep the code up to date people who want that should be able to run it easily enough. Otherwise, Proton will likely run it quite well directly from Steam (it has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB and is Steam Deck Playable).

Luxtorpeda already offers Linux native version.

Quoting: Liam DaweWell, they've now put up a Native Linux build [External Link] for testing.

Yes, shortly after posting of the article, I notice non-empty Linux depot with a Linux binary and Unity engine .dll libraries which is common for Linux ports of Unity engine games. I edited my comments. Thanks for the update.

Some parts of the forum post:

We’ve added a native Linux/Steam OS build as our tests have shown it’s more stable and has better performance than running the game with Proton.

We’ve thoroughly tested internally on Steam Deck and with some players that it runs better, or at the very least equal, to Proton, but we’d like to hear your input. We don’t have the hardware or resources to test in the various Linux distros, but we assume that the native build will have better performance for you as well.

Quoting: Liam DaweScammers? I wouldn't say so. Kickstarter is never a guarantee remember, and only what the developers *hope* they will get to with the funding. And arguably with Proton, you still get the game. Kickstarter should really be used if you like the game idea, not specifically the Linux side of it.

You can still play it on Linux, without any problems I can see.

Why being apologetic for a company?

Kickstarter is no showcasing either as money is changing hands. Let us define it as an "investment" in simplest terms. The investor is promised predetermined gains in return of investment. Obviously an investment usually doesn't involve guaranteed returns but it does necessitate proper explanation why investee fails to provide promised gains. "We are small, use Proton and forget about promised Linux version" kinda attitude is disingenuous and does validate scammer accusation.

I am aware that most people here goes for "nah, Proton works just fine, who cares native" approach. But it still pisses me of when companies take people's money by explicitly naming Linux version, then never even attempt to make a Linux build by using Proton excuse; hence being scammer.

Edit: It turned out they did make Linux build;

This seems like a good time to also mention Soda Den won't be doing Native Linux support, which was part of their Kickstarter campaign.

Scammers, no lose here then, pass.
