Prepayment on Linux version ...
« on: August 14, 2010, 01:39:23 pm »
Hi,

I've just bought the Windows version of Aquaria, as my daughter was no longer willing to wait any longer ;).

Please regard my money as a prepaiment on the awaited Linux version (preferrably 64bit).

Thank you very much for this nice game.

Sven

You could try compiling the source yourself if you'd like the Linux version "now".

I bought Aquaria once again, this time for Linux as part of a well-known software bundle.

It's beyond me why this fine game is still not available running natively on Linux *directly* from its producer :(.

Regards
Sven

Maybe it's because the Windows version is dispatched to some software payment company (of which the type I don't like), the Mac version to Ambrosia, and the iPad version to yet another publisher. Bit-Blot isn't their own publisher, so they have to delegate the publishing work to others. Now where would you find a Linux software publisher?
