I am trying to install the windows version 2 via POL. The Linux version will be out in December. Their first Kickstarter campaign was a ginormus success! They are 17 hours away from the end of their second campaign and they already have 37,000 of 20,000 dollars! Not only is Leadworks for Linux coming in December, but Leadworks for Linux is now their leading platform! In other words, Linux Gaming has just scored a huge victory and can now go toe to toe with Windows and Mac gamming. It all started with Valve announcing in late December 2012, that Steam for Linux beta, would be out in late January 2013. Then Leadwerks knew that it was time to begin a campaign for a Linux port. They are starting with Ubuntu 12.04.

I forgot to add that Leadwerks for Linux with use the Steamworkshop to allow users to download leadwerks tools and to prepare your games to be submitted to green light. I still belive that POL/wine will still be needed for a few years as GOL isn't going to happen over night but 2013 and beyond will/are definitely seeing huge progress.

Attention GOL: Your edit function does not work correctly. When I click on edit, a dialogue box opens that displays my post for about 1 second, then the text disappears and its just an empty dialogue box. I tried copy/ paste to try to copy my post so I could edit it but that doesn’t work. I am using Firefox version 23 for Linux if that helps.

Not a game developer. Just have some ideas and am an amature programmer since 1983. I am sure I could put some of your textures to good use. No way that Steam on Linux can fail, especially once Leadwerks gets going on it in December. We need to find a way to get EA interested. I can't believe they keep walking past that rather large pile of potential money.

I forgot to add since I couldn't get Leadwerks Trial Windows version to work via POL or VB then I tried rebooting into Windows. Guess what... It still doesn't work!

EA, UBIsoft and Blizzard have plenty of money to do that their just too greedy and want everything including the kitchen sink!

I helped beta test Steam for Linux. Steam had a bunch of problems and their horse wouldn't go around the track in a straight line. By March they were doing nicely and took the word beta off the title. The number of users has gone down slightly since beta but I expect the numbers to go up during 2014.

The edit work around works perfectly! Thanks for posting the work around.

It looks like Leadwerks won't run my hardware since I use the Intle GMA 45 in my laptop. I need a new desktop with a good GPU.

A while back Linus gave Nvidia the finger and said 'F... you Nvidia'. One reason was because people with a lousy on the motherboard graphics chips and an Nvidia card couldn’t use their Nvidia card because Nividia's driver won't switch to the card.

Well of course a computer nerd would think of that but what about the average Joe or Jane non nerd computer user?

Leadwerks for Linux launched yesterday! Now that Leadwerks runs natively on Linux I predict that Gamming on Linux will surge ahead during 2014. Weather it will throw windows of the hill top this year no one knows. It might take a few years to do that but Linux will soon dominate the gaming market just like it currently dominates the server market. Don't forget Leadwerks for Linux is available on Steam and uses the Steam workshop.
