Glad to see you made your goal! Really impressive what you cant do with your engine and your RPG sounds fun as well. I went ahead and backed you hoping that you do indeed port to Linux =D

Initially avoiding ports but its pretty trivial - all cross platform libraries at the moment and this was originally built on a mac and ported to windows. Once I get game semi functional, I will integrate porting (if someone else has not already done the job).

I would imagine that getting it running on *nix will get you access to a lot of the gamers that like to do serious mods (however I might be wrong about that).

Dang! Are clickable links really too much to ask for on the web:

  (KS Link):

Edit: even posting individual links in a comment doesn't work anymore, for real. That' such great UX /s.

Edit2: Ah, sorry, links don't linkify if indented. Still, submission links for highly upvoted stories would be great.

Haha, apparently. Or I need to be EA. Interestingly, Rock Paper Shotgun covered me in March, but apparently refused to during the KS campaign, despite the fact that they covered many other KS campaigns. I'm pretty sure they got one of the many tweets or emails that me or the fans sent their way.

That's awful, especially for such a promising project. Any idea as to why they ignored it?

Probably just didn't catch their attention. I assume most gaming sites get flooded with these sort of things.

Sorry - I'm not all that good with formatting options, how do you do it on an HN post? I know the reddit method. Edit, looks like your links work now in my browser, but I can't edit my post anyway, its timed out.

Probably because they thought it was too ambitious to post about - they usually only cover things they think are "sure bets" - which I can respect I suppose, but they have also posted some KS campaigns I think will likely fail (given my educated guess).
