Spawn camping on both sides is a constant issue, with people jumping in and out of their safe zone, or people sitting outside ready to shoot as you come out. This is the biggest issue with the game right now.

This.
THIS !
A million times this.

Got this as a birthday gift.
May give it another go once the upgrade hits :)

Reminds me of Battleships Forever - or whatever that free game I played a while back was.
Worth keeping an eye on.

I hate to be THAT guy , but , that funding seems low for even a 2D platformer.
For a MMO it makes me very skeptical.
Don't MMOs usually need millions to get up and running ??

Cool of them to add Linux support.
Might mention it to a mate who's into card games.

Quoting: namikoOk, I have to comment about something that's been bothering me.

I watch Jacksepticeye, who is a YouTube gamer who is known for (mostly) complete video game playthroughs. I watch to spot new and interesting games on the horizon, as well as enjoying the commentary. But, the moment I see that there's plans for Linux on a new game that Jack's currently playing (because he plays on Windows), I stop watching the playthrough and make plans to buy the game instead (wishlist on Steam and such).

Becase Kindergarten's Linux release came later than the Windows release, I ended up watching Jack's entire playthrough of that game. This is especially bad when the game is quirky, interesting and has an actual plot, like Kindergarten. It's happened before too, for Scanner Sombre.

So, ultimately, I won't be buying Kindergarten, because I had enough time to spoil myself on the plot with YouTube. Not saying this is typical of Linux gamers, but it could be one possibility to explain some of the reasons why Linux sales on a new release can be lower than expected.

A day-1 release is preferable because then people won't get spoiled elsewhere and decide not to buy. I'm very disappointed, but do hope that the sequel to Kindergarten *will* have a day-1 Linux port, because I would not hesitate to buy it.

Depends I think.
If they are not using cross OS tools to build the game might take them longer to port it using a wrapper or rebuilding it in different tools.

I just bought this and might give it a go.

If you are unsure about a game that might be ported , I'd say just avoid watching gameplay vids or stop before the last few parts. I still have not played Alien Isolation but I did watch markiplier back in the day go 75% through the game , then stopped to avoid the ending spoiler.

Don't like the pre-order culture creeping up yet AGAIN , but will probably buy it on release (despite never having completed an escape in the previous one)
