The roadmap for Unity, the extremely popular game engine has been updated. Apparently a Linux editor for Unity is in-progress, but it may be a while before we see it.Note that the item is in the "In-progress, timelines long or uncertain" category of features, meaning that they have started working on it but it's probably not going to be here next week.

Many people have voiced their opinions and asked for a native editor for Linux but until now we saw no intention of porting the editor. But now it looks like game developers might be able to create games on Linux using Unity instead of just publishing for Linux from other platforms.You can find the roadmap here: http://unity3d.com/unity/roadmapUnity has been praised as an easy-to-use game development tool and would be a nice addition to the growing set of game dev tools we already have on Linux.
