14 DAY TRIAL // Spacebase DF-9, a space station simulation developed by Double Fine Productions, has been released for the Linux platform.
Players will be able to manage and build a space station, carefully planning every move, without upsetting the balance between the humans and the aliens.
“In Spacebase DF-9, you'll build a home among the stars for a motley population of humans and aliens as they go about their daily lives. Mine asteroids, discover derelicts, and deal with the tribulations of galactic resettlement in Earth's distant future. Meteor impacts! Explosive decompression! Unbearable loneliness!” reads the official synopsis for the game.
Spacebase DF-9 is part of the Early Access Games on Steam, which means that users can purchase the game while it's still in the development stages.
The minimum Linux requirements are also quite acceptable: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 1.8 GHz dual-core CPU, 1 GB RAM, 256 MB GeForce 8800, Radeon HD 2000, or Intel HD 4000 Graphics, and 200 MB available HDD space.
More details about this game can be found on the official Steam website.
