Official NWN Linux Client News -- 1:39 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Bioware's Derek French started a thread on the Neverwinter Nights forums giving some official word on the anticipated Linux client. Here's what he had to say:

For those of us joining us late, the Linux client was not released with the Windows version. The Linux server was released shortly after the Windows version. As to why, the Mac and Linux versions of the game are being co-developed and our focus was on the Windows version for the June launch. Currently the Mac and Linux versions are in full development. The Mac version of the Toolset is being handled by MacSoft. You can find an update from Al Schilling from MacSoft here.

What we can't give you right now:
- Linux client screenshots
- an exact completion date

All we can estimate is that screenshots will happen within a month and we expect the Linux Client to be available for download in Fall 2002.

What we can give you:
- an assurance that the Linux client will be released
- a web page for the Linux Client where all updates will take place

We expect the Linux Client page, with information, to be up within a week.

Unfortunately this wasn't any more specific, but it is official and confirms that the Linux client will indeed be released. It just seems that I'm going to have to wait for a little while longer.
