Note that they are obligated to release a Linux (and MacOS) version to complete their Kickstarter obligations. To be fair, they clearly indicated at the start that the initial release would be for Windows (never mind the original release date, LOL):

Platforms: PC, Mac, and Linux
Release date: Q4 2015 on PC. Mac and Linux to be determined.

To be fair, there can be numerous iterations of prototypes before the final product; for example, the Steam Controller:

Quoting: roothorickWe really should advocate for dynamic linking and shipping the .so's alongside the game, specifically for situations like this. A lot of games won't get updated at all.

I will again mention this handy GNOME extension, to prevent said issue:

From what I understand, there certainly are means of "divine intervention" - such as launching pesky nuggets into space.

Quoting: GuestI'd say cut them some slack, it's not like they raised more than 1 million dollars and then just basically went with "fuck you linux (and mac) users" [External Link]...

At least KCD gave refunds (and it sounds like they did for this project also); there have been a few others that just ignore their obligations completely. Complaining to Kickstarter doesn't help either, unless there's lots of bad publicity.

The engine excuse is indeed a bit thin, when Daedalic released Linux versions of their Visionaire games, and the company behind the engine promised a Linux version of their own (Kickstarter-funded) game.

Looks neat, but the price seems a little high for such a short game.

Quoting: g000hMeanwhile I grabbed the previous August Monthly Bundle and got...
The Escapists 2 (early unlock)
Kona (didn't have it already)
Sudden Strike 4 (didn't have it already)

I was meaning to pause August and forgot / thought I had more time, but wasn't disappointed when Sudden Strike 4 and Kona were included. But already having Rise of the Tomb Raider, I'm definitely going to have to remember to pause September.

Quoting: x_wingThe game really use almost all the resources of the original game

Does Unity make it easy to extract resources or something?

Quoting: x_wingThe story it's kinda "meh", but the devs made a really nice work with graphics and sound.

I enjoyed it, except for the voices used for Sam & Max.
