Update: Turns out they messed up the config, the Linux version has a delay. They've reached out to us to chat about it.

Honestly surprised we haven't heard much about this one as it looks rather good! A Rite from the Stars from developer Risin' Goat and Phoenix Online Publishing just released with Linux support.

A Rite from the Stars is another game that was funded thanks to Kickstarter, where the developer gained $41,302 in funding from 811 backers. We actually covered it here in issue 37 of our old "The Funding Crowd" crowdfunding roundup articles. That was back in 2014 though, so it's easy to forget.
