Moebius: Empire Rising Adventure Game Will Not Support Linux From Day 1

They made 35k over what they asked for, and they didn't bother to upgrade their Unity version. When knowingly that their version didn't support Linux, and they made it a stretch goal....

Carmageddon: Reincarnation's Jason Garber Answers Our Questions On Their Linux Support

"It's quite possible we would approach it in that way. But we’d hope that Linux, as a port rather than a process of full game development, would be a more linear and (dare I say it) straightforward process that won’t involve the level of player testing that is useful to us while we still develop the full game."

This quote bothers me. So they are making this game on Windows only right now, but they just hope that the port to Linux is going to be easy for them. I am wondering if they have done their studies on those plugins they have used to make this game. Did they check that those plugins are multiplatform? I can see this is going to be a disaster.

"I don’t really think that end users will give much thought to the underlying OS – they will be focussing on the Steam aspect, rather than the Linux underpinnings. IMO."

This is sad but most likely true. Most "Console people" dont really care about what the core of their system is running. Its like how i told my friend that his PS4 is running FreeBSD. He was like "Uhh whats that?". I myself love knowing what any of my systems run.

Sheep i tell you... Sheep.

Glad Leadwerks is coming out on Monday. Getting tired of Unity and their engine crap. Soon we will be seeing Native day 1 game releases on Linux that just work. CANT WAIT! I myself have no experience with game creation, but i will be purchasing leadwerks to start learning.

The editor is actually really awesome, and easy to use. I love it. I myself hope they add more options to it as well.
