Huinehtar: IIRC, Fresh3D has been an engine provider, making and selling their own engine's license. This Outcast HD Reboot isn't made in Unity3D or another very popular and multiplatform engine (like CryEngine or UDK) actually.
They should obviously master their engine, but it wasn't made for Linux since the beginning, so I understand (for once) why they made Linux port a stretchgoal.
Ah, that makes sense, if they have to "eat their own dog food", as we say in the IT business here. On the flipside it is somewhat negative advertising for their engine, assuming this project is also intended to increase the visibility of that. It doesn't help your product stand out in the field if it's not as portable as its competition.They should obviously master their engine, but it wasn't made for Linux since the beginning, so I understand (for once) why they made Linux port a stretchgoal.
