So Svartalf any updates recently, are you working on anything?

No posts from him since April, so I wonder if he's still reading this forum?

Heroes of Might and Magic IV (there's already a Mac OS X version)

Serious Sam 3 has been announced, and it sounds like the developers aren't against a Linux port, just needs a push in the right direction:

Given the lackluster support for the ports of SS1 and 2, it would be nice if the third time's the charm.

I doubt there's going to be a desktop linux version until there are other desktop versions. Not sure if they want the current small-screen experience on a proper comp.

Ah... But if it's done up right, it can be pretty easily ported to X86. It's actually more difficult to make X86 go to ARM (but if you pay attention to what you're doing, it's not a major problem...) than the other way around.

Yesh. The thing is though that someone needs to convince Rovio to compile on x86.

Indeed it is. However, it's ARM thus it doesn't work on x86.

Has the thief series been mentioned? Didn't see anything about thief or Eidos on the front page. Of course, it was published by EA and I don't know what there stance on linux has been.

Of course, with the source of 1 and 2 recently being found and uploaded, I suppose those might be fan done. But Thief 3 would be really nice. And maybe even 4?
