One other good reason to write your own game engine is to teach yourself about
how game engines work. This is time consuming though, so I agree with Paul that
you shouldn't do this unless you really need to.

There are a bunch of game engines for GNU/Linux that aren't Unity. Many of
these also run on the other platforms.

Here is some more information about Verse that Nick mentioned:
<http://verse.blender.org/faq/>

It is pretty amazing as it allows collaborative editing of 3d and textures over
the network. Looks like it hasn't been developed since 2007 though. :( Here are
binaries of Blender with Verse integrated:

I am pretty sure it's made by the guy who made the game Love (also an amazing
project).

Cheers,

Chris.
