Quoting: EikeProbably the one obvious question to them:
Which technical problems have held up the port?
None. Originally there was going to be no Linux port at all, but since we jumped up & down they decided to reevaluate the "feasibility" of said port and it would appear they decided to do it after all.

The criminal underworld of Mafia III is coming soon to Mac! Travel back to 1968 and explore the large open world of New Bordeaux as Lincoln Clay. When his surrogate family, the black mob, is betrayed and wiped out by the Italian Mafia, Lincoln builds a new family on the ashes of the old and blazes a path of military-grade revenge through those responsible.
No mention of Linux. Could very well be that Linux is just not priority for them any more.
It's Mafia III after all, so who cares?

Completely irrelevant to the point.

Time to put on some Laibach.

This looks good based on that video. Although I suspect I'd prefer it more if it were just a "walking simulator" sans shooting.
It looks like more classic Topware Interactive games are coming to Linux

This is great for game preservation purposes. These may be Windows titles, but one day when they stop working on Windows, they'll still work on Wine, since it's open source and they can maintain the compatibility.

Just curious; you used a lot of open source software to make the game but used Unity as the game engine; were the other open source game engines like Godot not up to scratch? Is it a personal preference? Or is it a bit of both?
It's just what I am used to. No specific reason really.

Quoting: tuubiassuming the game wasn't built on the new Unity 5.5.
It was, and since a lot of what's in the game will form part of some future projects, I don't think it's wise for me to downgrade it unfortunately. So yah, I will add a note to the itch.io page.

Thanks all. "Earn living from free games" is the worst business plan though. But whatever - never said I was smart. :P

What Cheese said.

I'm also pushing a new build this morning built with the latest Unity - right after solving some screen/window/monitor goofiness. Wondering if it's not a 32bit/64bit thing. Latest build has a proper launch script too that might solve that.

EDIT: Try now. You itch.io app should kick off an update.
