Linux Port of Deus Ex
My involvement on this title was pretty tangental. The
Unreal Tournament software renderer that I ported
was added to the Linux port of Deus Ex as an additional render target.
Since Deus Ex uses an Unreal Tournament engine, the addition of my
renderer involved little more than linking in the new rendering library
and hooking up the INI setting in the config files.
Sadly, the Linux port of Deus Ex never made it to market. Between
Loki folding and stalled licensing talks between Loki and Eidos, Deus Ex
remains a bit of Linux urban legend. Few have seen it actually run under
Linux, but the code does exist. Somewhere.
