I just want to know how the story goes on. ;-)
If Runesoft's got the deal locked fully down on the rights for a Linux version from Deck13's stuff, you're going to have to sell THEM on releasing the rights or allowing someone like myself to do the work or bankroll the publishing of the project. I'll be honest with you and tell you that my funds aren't that good right at the moment (owning show horses can do that to you... ) so it'll have to depend on whether the rights were reserved for each version done or if Runesoft can be convinced to release subsequent versions after all.

I won't comment at length on the reasons for this, but will leave it at an observation that it's not due to a lack of potential customers...
Anyway the finalists at the Independent Games Festival might be a good place to look at some porting projects.

Well I might as well throw another game in while I'm here. I did notice it was mentioned in the first thread, but could not find a follow-up, but I would love to see something happen with Anachronox.
As far as I can chase up, the rights belong to Eidos Interactive (I can't tell if that would be problematic), and I believe the source code is still in existence as one of the programmers released an unofficial patch (including engine fixes) after the demise of Ion Storm.

Another possibility is Joe Danger from Hello Games. In this interview one of the developers says he's made Linux and Mac builds but doesn't know if anyone would want them: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/2...Joe_Danger.php

Not sure precisely what Square'd tell us. I'll add it to the "maybe" list and do some quiet enquiries once we have a few more wins under our collective belts here.

I guess I kind of need to talk with Hello then, don't I?
