Aquaria Game Coming To Linux. Icculus Porting?

*cough* UT3 *cough*

You know...there's little good purpose in even broaching the subject in question. UT3's either going to happen or not (I'm betting not at this point, based on all that has transpired to this point...but I'd love to be proven wrong...pleasantly so...)- but going on about it won't make it happen. All you're doing is being a pain with regards to a person that was the contractor- and very unlikely to be the actual root cause of the delay up to this point.

thats pretty good

Something "very important" as a project is delaying it... Not that Aquaria's not important- but one wonders what Ryan's doing now...

It IS cool that it's coming to Linux, though. I'm interested in it...looks fun.

Aquaria seems to be almost finished:

I've played the demo for a bit through wine. I'll pick this up when it's release for Linux.

This is almost done, but I'm crunching on something very important. Hopefully
I'll start passing some Linux builds to Bit-Blot for testing in ~2 weeks
when this other project is off my shoulders.

As Aquaria is already on the list as "being looked into", i thought i'd let you know that Alec Holowka (the developer) has recently posted on the Bit Blot forums that he is open to having someone "trustworthy" take over his abandoned Linux port.

I don't know if your prodding about this stirred them into action or was purely coincidental, but I'll say thanks anyways.

This game looks great imho!
I remember hearing about it on german television (GIGA) a while ago. IIRC the review was pretty positive.
Can't wait to buy this game.

Bit Blot had gotten Aquaria mostly working on Linux themselves before it got released, but ended up dropping it for unknown reasons. I'd guess just lack of time since they were presumably trying to get the Win/OSX versions to be as shiny as possible. Here's to hoping that the groundwork they laid allows this to come out sooner rather than later! I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced!
