    I think it's about time we tried to make a list of all games on Kickstarter currently trying to get funding that either support Linux, say they might support Linux, or even just are worth mentioning as we may be able to encourage them to support Linux.

    As zerothis pointed out, Desura has a category for crowdsourced Linux games. You pay a fee and get access to early versions, both supporting their development and giving you the chance to play the games in their early form. To see them, go to this link (and ensure that you click on the icon at the top of the screen to view Linux games only): http://www.desura.com/games#alpha
    Current games include: Metagolf,
    Incursion, Snorms, Tomes of Mephistopheles, 3079, Towns, Project Zomboid, Survivors of Ragnarök and King Arthur's Gold.

    If you know of any other Linux game on Kickstarter (or any other such crowdfunding website), post your own entries, and I'll update this list.
    Note: For a few of the "Linux status" I used the "Ask a question" button at the bottom of the page to ask the developer directly, good way to both check the Linux status and show support for the platform.

    Drive completed games:

    (I'm hesitant to mention this, as it seems to be incredibly ambitious, and the Kickstarter drive is only to bring it to an alpha status, and I've just had a bad feeling about it, but you guys have a right to be informed)

    Linux Status: "Consoles / Linux / Mac
    This is something we've received a lot of questions about. As of now our focus is the PC version of the game BUT if we exceed our fundraising goals we are putting every cent back into the development of this game. That means if we receive the neccesary funds to hire additional platform engineers and leads to bring the game to linux or mac for only 10 users we will. That's not to say there's only 10 linux and mac users out there (since we've recieved many more requests than that!), the point I am making is that our goal is to make an amazing game and put it in as many players hands as possible."

    Re: Kickstarter Games for Linux

    was thinking that companies liek RedHat and Canonical could give some support to such projects. I mean if more people played games more people would use Linux or at least introduce it to decision makers. and if more people would use linux more people would consider having it in the office. if more would consider it in the office these companies would benefit.

    now the thing is as we can see that the needed money for port is not that big and even if they pledged smaller amount it would still be good oveall.
    Read the easy to understand, lots of pics Ubuntu manual.

    I don't think that Redhat is interested. They don't aim at the Desktop market.

    Can you undo the thread merging, because my thread was not about games?
