There's no need to port the game. Just make sure that the Windows version is compatible with Wine/Proton.

EDIT: Nvm — at the end of the article, it states that it's probable that part of the reason why the Linux version was cancelled was because proton already works well.

On the Linux side, it's also not overly surprising given that we have Proton now which enables the game to run with a tick of box on Steam. I even showed it previously running really nicely on Steam Deck with Proton using the demo.

It depends. I'm glad that we have tools like proton, but when this was an explicit stretch goal that was met during funding it's a bit different.

I'm disappointed in Nightdive. Not just because they cancelled the port, but because they made a promise and they broke it, and they just remained silent about it instead of being transparent about any challenges that they were facing over the preceding years.

Yeah I can confirm it runs perfectly on the steam deck

Yeah, it runs on Linux. After the last update, my PC transformed a bit into a heat pump, though.
