Unity does not support linux. So how is it even relevant for Double Fine given their stated requirements? Or any other game dev given the possible future of linux based steamboxes?
- malkia 14y agoDo you really think that's going to be a problem for Unity? Having based their stuff on Mono, MonoDevelop, and supporting OpenGL? Maybe a little bit, but I'm sure there code is almost prepared, if not already running on it. Especially if they just shipped statically linked code, to not bother with glibc/libc changes, or other differences between distros.
- adam-a 14y agoA while ago I spoke to a Unity engineer about this. He told me they have internal builds running on Linux. I think the main thing holding them back from releasing it is the testing they would have to do for each distro. Probably not worth it for the limited use it would see. If Linux Steamboxes do become a reality they would quickly be able to release Unity for that platform. Of course I wish they would release the editor for Linux as I would like to use it :)
- greggman 14y agonot quite the same thing but Unity does run in Chrome in Linux in Native Client.
