Estranged, a Half-Life 2 mod that has garnered a lot of attention, has been announced for the Linux platform.

According to the developers, Estranged is a work in progress mod that tells the story of a lone fisherman whose ship is stranded on a mysterious island during a violent storm.

The developer has moved the project from the Source SDK 2007 to the 2013 version, which means that, in theory, the mod is now compatible with Mac an Linux platforms.

“While this brings us benefits like Linux and Mac support, it also brings with it subtle performance and feature improvements - such as the Steam HTTP API (to replace cURL for our statistics collector) and the vgui::HTML WebKit control, which replaces Awesomium,” reads the official announcement on Desura.
