“Despite the delay (thanks Hex) which Sierra announced earlier
this week, Dynamix has confirmed what Dave Georgeson hinted at
previously: Tribes 2, a sci-fi multiplayer team-oriented FPS, will
have both a Linux client and dedicated server, being developed by
Loki Entertainment Software. Thanks to {SiR}Mojo_Tooth for
forwarding the current edition of the Tribes 2 newsletter (Tribes 2
Beacon) which made the revelation:”
“Q: Will there be Linux support? A: You bet. By popular demand,
we’ve contracted with Loki, a company that has done many Linux
conversions for other games. The server code is nearly done and
they are making great progress on the client code (which will ship
separately from the regular game). The server code will ship within
the regular retail box.”
“Furthermore, the delay will likely allow for a simultaneous
Linux and Win32 release, giving the Linux gaming community a second
chance to make their presence known this holiday shopping
season.”
