No, it was supposed to come out when it is done. It's not done yet.

RE: Status Update: Linux and Mac ports

You guys are going to make us pay another $20 for the Linux version? Tongue Well I hope it plays as well.

I think it is an excellent decision to build for Linux. Penumbra hasn't been getting the attention it deserves for being as good as it is (I feel its a lot better than Silent Hill 2). There aren't a whole lot of games for Linux and fewer have the latest generation graphics (Doom 3ish). This game has GOT to get the attention of the Linux gaming community just because its one of the few. Is there a Linux gaming community? There are certainly a lot of Windows gamers that are tired of Windows.

I just switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu 7.04 after I tried Ubuntu and got hooked. (I love the permissions in Linux. And Ubuntu was easier to get up and running than Windows XP). Yes, I have a dual-boot system and I boot into Windows when I need to run whatever but I *dislike* booting into Windows. I'm certainly not going to upgrade to Vista - its definitely a liability when it comes to optimum game performance.

Hopefully more game developers will go your route and port their games to Linux.

Windows XP SP2/Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn"
3.2 GHz Pentium IV
800 MHz FSB
1 GB DDR RAM
GeForce 7800GS AGP
60 GB SATA 7200 RPM x2 (RAID 0)
120 GB SATA 7200 RPM

Sooo (pun intended) "is it out yet?" Big Grin

Ohh, and Intruder13, there are Linux gaming communities, check both these sites to get an idea:

http://www.linux-gamers.net
http://www.happypenguin.org

Optionally:

http://www.tuxgames.com
http://www.liflg.org (installers for games, even Windows games if you have Wine/WineX/Cedega installed)
