Species now includes an officially supported Linux build! Was hoping to get a Mac build too, but that's going to have to wait for a bit more.
I'm also putting up a weeks worth of polish for the windows build. Call it a bonus for sticking with me till now. Thanks for playing!
Note: your saves should still load, but with this many changes there's a good chance you'll need to babysit your creatures until they can adapt to the new conditions.
