I'm still on 550 too. I tried 560 but it left me with weird black squares, like static, and other glitches in at least one game I was playing so I downgraded again.

Quoting: DuncThe sole global arbiter of all things Build Engine gave it a thumbs up [External Link], so it must be pretty good.

Seriously though, it does look awesome. And since it's based on eDuke32, I'm not surprised there's a Linux version. My only niggle would be that the price is maybe a little steep for something based on 20-year-old tech (we're so used to getting new levels for old engines and remakes in newer engines [External Link] for free these days), but you certainly seem to get a lot of game for your money.
Because it's old tech it was sometimes a nightmare. It takes quite a lot of effort to do certain things - it took us four years as a matter of fact. The campaign is fairly long (around 8-10 hours for a first play), and you'd probably triple your time if you're a secret hunter.

I don't take offense necessarily, just pointing out that old tech doesn't mean easy development.

The PR speak is funny because as quickly as possible would be not single store exclusive.
