Seems it&#8217;s moving along, as yesterday they updated that Steam post to say this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Update: 12\/28\/2018:<\/p>\n<p>We now have the core engine compiling under Debian Linux and running via Vulkan. We still have a long, long way to go but this is a major step. Thanks for your continued interest and support!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Only noticing it now, as it&#8217;s a post I follow that the developer has no replied to mention it. Their wording isn&#8217;t too different to what was said in September though, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>I like their honesty with it, that we still have some ways to go but they&#8217;re still working on it so that&#8217;s great stuff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/articles\/ashes-of-the-singularity-escalation-inches-closer-to-a-linux-release-with-vulkan.13256\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some fun weekend news for those wanting another RTS to play, as Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation is getting closer to a Linux release.
