Linux Gamers Are Going Crazy For This New Game

There’s another Kickstarter-backed game that may be coming to Linux and it’s causing Linux gamers to become extremely excited. In the past day I’ve received no less than 30~40 emails from readers talking about this possible Linux port of Carmageddon: Reincarnation.

The latest in a slaw of Kickstarter-financed games following the very successful Wasteland 2 project is Carmageddon: Reincarnation. I haven’t heard about this title previously until yesterday I began to be carpet-bombed with emails talking about this game possibly coming to Linux.

Right now it’s up in the air whether or not this game will come to Linux since they’ll only provide the native Linux client should they pull in $600,000 USD in financing. Right now there’s $335,155 in crowd-sourced financing available of their $400,000 USD goal and they have 12 days left to completion. If they reach $600,000+, as their first “stretch goal” they will provide a native Linux client. In addition, a Mac OS X version will be worked on too at that same level. Below is the mention of the Linux client from their Kickstarter page.
