Thank you for the Linux version. I hope we get there.

I realize that I might be a minority here, but I for one is very happy you guys are considering a Linux version.

 

Thank you.

They are not "considering" it. They just confirmed it today.

It's not even an extended goal anymore. It's just planned as a fact.

Not much. Obviously less than the cost of porting Onyx to Linux and OS X.

 

Unity is designed to be an engine for indie games. It's designed to be highly modular, highly cross-platform, and easy to access (i.e. cheap).

 

There is even a free version you can use if you're willing to put up with a Unity splash screen on game load.

 

While Unity isn't open source like Torque3D or Ogre Engine, it's still a reasonably 'open'-ish choice as far as game engines go. Unity devs claim to be about "democratisation" of game engines, which doesn't make any sense to me because they're not FOSS, but still, clearly they have the little guys in mind rather than the big end of town.

Awesome! I just saw that now. Great news.
