FYEAH - Star Citizen On Linux woot!

I know I've posted some rumoury stuff about CryEngine 3 on Linux but:
Here is a 24 hour livestream past video from twitch on their 1st channel, go to 4:46:51 and enjoy a non-announcement about an announcement they can't make yet that will make Linux and Mac owners "happily surprised" ;P


Watch live video from roberts_space_ind_ch_1 on TwitchTV

Youtube version: (go to 16m48s)

Now this comes over a year since the rumour about a native port of CryEngine 3 on Linux =3
Thanks to the lurkers on the 24hr livestream chat for filling us in! =)


Also, here's some links to Chris Roberts on Linux support for Star Citizen questions on Campaign Reddit's AMA:

This news comes after this poll during the original fundraising (including kickstarter). You'll find that 21% of votes wanted Linux support! (And 8% for Mac).

Also, since I've last posted on Star Citizen on this blog (but have been filling my FB with it =P) CGI's SC is now the most funded crowdfunding project of all time. It surpassed the pebble watch, and make sure you check out the 300i commercial! Fully in-universe an in-engine =)


This 2nd video was released as a director's cut during the 24 hour livestream:

Open source projects being funded!

Title is as self explanatory as Kim Jong Un looking at things.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1923745690/open-source-nimh-battery-charger-analyzer
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kytelabs/bleduino-bluetooth-40-ble-made-easy-arduino-compat
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/495099991/ember-and-torch-apps-meet-arduino?ref=live

It makes me happy to see people backing projects which are open source =) The last project still needs funds to be funded!
Ah, BLE 4.0, when you come on Android, all those things I could do with you -fantasizing-.

Fixer movement?

Fixer movement?
Next in the Hacker/Maker movement, it looks like what I've been trying to do to dying devices except being too noob to do it. Sounds good! (Sustainability (Y) haha)
