Sentinels of Freedom is a turn-based digital tactical game for Mac and Windows, not Linux on Kickstarter. Which takes inspiration based on the upcoming Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game. Also designed by Critical Hits studio in conjunction with Christopher Badell of Greater Than Games. Currently running a successful crowdfunding campaign.
So this sounds rather intriguing, right? Well that’s not quite the case. We reached out to developer Underbite Games (Super Dungeon Tactics) to see about Linux support. Seeing that Mac and Windows is already listed on the Kickstarter
Linux Support:
“Right now we are not setup to really support Linux but if there is enough interest – would be willing too.
Game engine is Unity.
We are certainly open to the idea. Might mean we crest a group of people external to help test and make sure the quality is equal to other platforms.”
So this is something of a vetted interest. Since Linux is not supported out of the gate. And my reply outlined the significant percentage of Unity 3D based games that makes up the Linux catalogue on Steam.
Also, this type of game reminds me of the Battle Chasers: Nightwar Kickstarter. Again built in the same game engine. The game also had a crowdfunding campaign back in 2015, supporting only Mac and Windows. Which now has a native beta available on Steam.
Therefore, it’s time again to show that Tux Love on Kickstarter. I know, I know, this is a common request in LGC news. But do note, your support will be greatly rewarded. We could very well have another Linux release.
