Anyone know what libraries were used in making this game. I would assume SDL, openAL, and of course opengl

It says that they require an nVidia or ATi card for the test. I wonder if it will work with PowerVR Kyro cards? They have good Linux drivers too. ;)

Hey, I am the aforementioned “Jon”. Yes, a full-featured Linux port exists currently, and I’m going to need some help making it work on all the various distributions. About 1% of the people signing up have chosen Linux so far, which is better than I expected, but let’s get some more Linux folks in the beta ;)

Lets put it this way, if the game comes out for linux, I *will* purchase it. This game looks great and I’ve been interested in it since I first saw their ads smashed all over the websites I goto frequently. If this comes out for linux it would be incentive enough for me to buy it.

“One of our programmers (Jon) develops primarily on Linux, so we have a build of Savage being developed in tandem with the win32 build…”

on the application for beta testing they say the minumun requirements are various flavors of windows and Linux… and you can choose linux in their OS drop down.. But not MacOS..
