I've worked on a MacOSX port a bit. Just early stuff.  O0

Linux would be a bit more tricky than OSX, and I'm not sure if there's a market for linux games. If there was a large enough demand, we could probably do it.

You don't have to go through all the native compiling stuff, just make sure it runs fine with WINE http://kegel.com/wine/isv/

So yeah. I should try it out on my other box. Anyone have recommendations for partitioning / setting up dual boot stuff?

GParted is the only thing that comes to mind for me.

I used to have an Ubuntu install on a virtual machine a while ago, but it didn't have access to hardware graphics acceleration.

A'ight, installed Ubuntu on a crap HD I had lying around. I just straight up "wine Aquaria.exe" and it ran!

Sound doesn't work, it generates a lot of error/warning messages in the terminal and the cursor is missing. (among other bugs)

Have you thought about putting this on Xbox 360 Live Arcade, Wii, or PS3.
As a downloadable game, it will be very popular.

Yeah, that' d be great! We've definitely thought about those... (and the DS...) but there's not much we can do about it yet...

...other than make the game as awesome as possible.  ^-^

After IGF and the PC release we may have a clearer picture...

Alien Hominid is gping to be popular on Xbox Live. So this game would be a classic! I hope you consider. After the PC release that is.
