Hey guys and gals, I like it when gaming devs support the Linux platform natively. Just wanted to let you know about Autonauts if you haven't heard about it yet - it's a world-building game - If you like Factorio / Kerbal Space Program / Minecraft you'll probably love it. I wanted to share the info since I know that some of you like Linux games. You can find it over at https://denki.itch.io/autonauts. I haven't had a chance to get to play it myself yet, but it looks pretty awesome and well-thought-out.
They state they are committed to developing for Linux but that they lack testers:
FYI - They're also in the middle of Kickstarter campaign, interestingly, which offers some pretty neat perks like some extra votes in dev polls, etc etc. (If you're interested in checking that out, it's at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/149.../autonauts.)
Anyhow, it's nice to see people actually actively developing modern games for Linux in the here-and-now, as opposed to just porting old games over (although there's nothing wrong with that either!)
