Not in the near future.

We've only got like 150 DLs total for Windows at this point, and we've way too many features, content and fixes to add to do a Linux version.

Coder works on a Mac though, so a Mac version is actually very feasible and within arms reach.

progress ::
+M8 Buford light tank is now in-game
+ M8 Buford asset creation vid here: https://youtu.be/QFIj_D2bqgM
+ New music in the asset creation vid is faction-specific music for the US faction
+ Additional areas in front of buildings now check terrain which will affect if the building is placeable
+ For instance, a dockyard will check for water in the additional area, while a vehicle depot will check for land
+ Building collapse animation fixed
+ Shadows enhanced
+ In the map editor, placing a building will now flatten terrain underneath if the terrain area is all +- 1 for terrain height
- this feature will be horizontally shifted over in-game where dozers will have minor automatic terrain-editing abilities
- this will allow players to build on uneven terrain, which is vital for larger buildings like an airfield
+ fences will be used to mark an area where a building has been placed prior to the arrival of a dozer unit
+ Two pieces of music for the US faction have been made, we will add it to the playlist shortly
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: https://balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
+ Here is the current music playlist for anyone that wants a listen: https://soundcloud.com/user-255042164/sets/b-b-ost
- For those that would like to use the AGDG recap, its here: http://recap.agdg.io/

progress ::
+ Added custom cursors into the game
+ Current cursors are the default cursor, hover, drag select and sell. We'll be gradually adding more
+ Thanks to the cursors, it's now possible for the player to tell when they're in 'sell mode'
+ A MQ-9 Predator drone asset was prepared
+ Airfield building has begun
+ Various plans for airplane, takeoff, landing, taxiing and other functionalities planned out.
- Implementation of the fixed-wing aircraft will be much more complicated than helicopters, but hopefully it will go well
+ Terrain flattening for placing buildings in the map editor has been added
+ Terrain flattening for building buildings in the game has been added
- Substantial amount of additional functionality needs to be added, to ensure that its not surrounded by cliffs for instance.
+ Three new music tracks have been made
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: https://balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets

+ Dozer will now flatten uneven terrain tile by tile after placing a structure. (vid)
- Structures are limited to placing on terrain only if all terrain is +- 1 the average terrain height.
- This feature is vital for construction of larger buildings like the airfield, which is basically complete.
+ Terrain flattening costs both money and time, so players are incentivizes to seek flatter terrain.
+ The terrain flattening feature is also present in the map editor
- Hopefully work on fixed-wing aircraft can start next week, although I doubt it.
+ Four new music tracks have been made
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: https://balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets

Thanks mate. I really need to release a version 0.05. However 0.05 includes aircraft, terrain editing and a weapons system overhaul, so it's gonna take some time. I think I'd be lucky to have it out by March, but such is life.

- This feature is vital for construction of larger buildings like the airfield, which is complete.
+ Terrain flattening costs both money and time, so players are incentivizes to seek flatter terrain. This will be balanced soon.
- Currently flattening the terrain for the airfield costs more money than is available from the first supply dump.
+ The terrain flattening feature is also present in the map editor
+ Asset visual scale was wrong and has been corrected for all buildings. For other assets, its not noticeable so that'll remain the same for now.
- Fixed-wing aircraft logic has begun, fixed-wing aircraft loiter in a circle rather than hover like a helicopter.
+ Five new music tracks have been made
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: https://balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
+ Here is the current music playlist for anyone that wants a listen: https://soundcloud.com/user-255042164/sets/b-b-ost

+ F-15 Eagle Asset Creation vid done: https://youtu.be/gmFTsSE0GK0
+Terrain editing is now much cheaper faster, building an airfield will no longer bankrupt the player.
- Although, with something as big as an airfield, multiple dozers will significantly increase the terrain flattening time.
+ Corrected scale for aircraft along with the airfield
+ Aircraft taxiing on airfield, takeoff, landing, and loitering logic is in
+ Airfield hangar and runway logic is in. All taxiway nodes are in in order to help carry the aircraft tarmac taxiing logic
+ Six new music tracks have been made. This set of faction-specific music is now done, will be in-game even before factions are added.
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: https://balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
+ Here is the current music playlist for anyone that wants a listen: https://soundcloud.com/user-255042164/sets/b-b-ost

+ New icons for the F-15 Eagle, MQ-9 Reaper, Airfield, as well as for the basic rifleman.
+ F-15 Eagle Asset Creation vid done from last week: https://youtu.be/gmFTsSE0GK0
+ Added a system where certain tiles, like tall_grass, will be converted into another preset tile, grass, when a building is being constructed on top of it.
- Although, with something as big as an airfield, multiple dozers will significantly increase the terrain flattening time.
+ Some path smoothing features have been added for aircraft on the airfield (see vid).
- This feature will be applied to vehicles and likely everything else very soon.
+ Issue where loitering aircraft weren't banking correctly was fixed
+ De-rendering issue for very large structures composed of many assets like the airfield has been fixed.
+ Aircraft are sellable when they are in the hangar.
- Might make vehicles sellable if they're close to the vehicle depot or something, haven't figured out that system yet.
+ Made a huge overarching spreadsheet that generates most unit stats from real-world vehicle data.
+ We're wrapping up on aircraft for now and moving into a weaponry overhaul, mainly going to add missiles. 0.05 launch after that.
+ Six new music tracks have been made. This set of faction-specific music is now done, will be in-game even before factions are added.
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: https://balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
+ Here is the current music playlist for anyone that wants a listen: https://soundcloud.com/user-255042164/sets/b-b-ost
