Forsaken Fortress (post-apocalyptic RTS/RPG), $121K/$100K USD
Freedom Planet (side-scrolling arcade game), $25K/$2K USD. Android support likely but no word on Linux support yet. They are using Multimedia Fusion 2 for development which would require the Anaconda runtime for Linux. But Anaconda doesn't support controllers, only keyboards, and the developers feel that this is too limiting.

The first major fighting game on Linux: Skullgirls
Skullgirls has confirmed Linux support!!! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ke...owing/x/544254 $30+ backers get early access (and we let them know we're here) so do it!
IMHO, this will be the first native Linux fighting game. Until now, all we've had has been emulated games from other platforms. Anyone have any idea how to contact Michail Larabel (sp?) requesting he do a story on this? Should I just send him an e-mail?
