Will it be avaliable on GOG.com?

+1

The linux version would be greatly appreciated :)

I don't know, but I would hope so. The April 17 Kickstarter update said that "The GOG and DRM-free versions will be uploaded in about a week".

Another Linux user here waving his hand in hopes of a (hopefully native) Linux version.

*waves hand*

I hope there will be linux version soon, since Steam has linux port for quite some time now.

+1 for the Linux Version!

Well, it was promised but not delivered yet---go fix that, Stoic!

Even the Steam version seems pretty broken on Linux at the moment, making parts of it unplayably slow. According to some posts in the Steam forums there's a beta version that works better, but I haven't looked into that myself.

I'd like to think that's why it's not on GOG yet, but some days I have this sinking feeling that I may be giving them too much credit...

It would be nice to have an update from the developer on this. If they're having technicial issues so be it but if they're just not wanting to make the Linux version DRM free I would love to know why.

We've been patient for 4 more months, any news? ;)

I got the game for free on Steam and would love to buy a DRM free copy but i'm waiting for the Linux version to be DRM free.

I'm going to quote our Founder and Programmer, John who answered a similar question in our Reddit AMA, a few months ago:

"The problem is, the external developer that did our Linux porting went out of business right after it launched, and before we could fix all its issues, tidy it up, and update its supporting technology. There's no way to get a refund or a financial remedy because, well, they ran out of cash. To extend the Linux build to GOG, we'd have to be able to make a new build (Steam builds won't run on GOG), and we don't have the developer or budget available to do that.

Financially speaking, the total amount of income we've made from our Linux port on Steam after 2 years on the market is about 1/4 the cost of porting it.

Why is it so expensive and difficult? Because of the underlying technology we chose as a framework. The game rests on Adobe AIR, which provides platform level abstractions like low level graphics, file IO, networking, etc... At the time we started development, Adobe was strongly supporting Linux. Adobe then abandoned Linux and left both the developers and the players flapping in the breeze. Our Linux port takes essentially the same approach as our console ports, removing Adobe AIR completely from the equation.

Hope that sheds some light on it."
