Though I doubt the chance of a "made by Linux users" game becoming real, I ain't gonna be the one staying out of it. I am kind of a writer (horror and fantasy mostly). I also am fluent (native language) in Brazilian Portuguese.
Interesting, my wife is Portuguese and is quite the writer and artist too. But really since Linux users are international, it would be an international effort. What do we have to lose except some of our spare time?
If I may make a suggestion, if your going to do a game, use the UE4 engine, it does take a bit of work to get the editor working right on some systems, and its not perfect on Linux (the editor) it will be a way to use an actual Linux project to work some of the editing kinks out of the editor and to show Epic that creating a game on Linux using UE4 is a desirable and possible outcome of their endeavors to work on the Linux side of things in regards to the Linux Editor.

I am having game issues with American Truck Simulator (Beta 1.5*) that I didn't have with the 370 nvidia drivers. Its pretty much unplayable at this time. Changing any settings in game is making it worse.

*EDIT* I just downgraded the drivers, the problems went away.
