“I think it should be coming in the next few months. Once we stabilize the Windows version.”
This was the reply in the Steam Discussion. But still good news. Since the studio obviously has Linux in sight. Which also leads me to believe this will be a cross platform (SteamDB) game. Which is being developed in Unity 3D. So it runs at a Platinum level with Proton.
