Hi,
I got Heroine's Quest and A Tale of Two Kingdoms to run on Linux.

I've seen there's some official support in the works - the page on crystalshard.net mentions using wine 1.6.2.

I'd rather not use wine (since wine limits us to x86 processors - Linux is widespread on ARMs as well) - and got everything working with the native Linux version of AGS.

Is there any interest in my versions? Also, am I allowed to distribute them? (The README file included with the games says they're free to distribute, but doesn't talk about modifications...)

Please check out this thread, we're currently beta-testing a Linux version of Heroine's Quest.

Thanks, tried it and it works perfectly here on OpenMandriva Cooker.

I also have a build for ARM devices (e.g. 96boards or Raspberry Pi) -- any interest in that? (I don't think steam supports ARM though)

One (extremely) minor issue with the beta build: All number of data files have executable permissions (*.cfg, *.vox, *.001, *.exe, *.pdf, *.txt, *.png, *.tra, Soundtrack/*).

Doesn't really hurt, just looks a little odd in the filesystem.

What version is that?

This is something Steam does that we have no control over.

We'd primarily be interested in an Android build.
