Modest requirements, Linux-native, controller support... Hopefully they've not forgotten something like text size that would stop them getting the green tick. Deck & cozy is a great combo.

All from the comfort of your couch (or toilet)!

They're going to need to get the green tick if they're recycling mobile game blurb.

The release has been a bit on the quiet side, with no Steam announcement even posted yet to announce the finished game has been released. Trying to play online just results in endless matchmaking too, since the player-count is currently low, which will hopefully tick up when more people realise ExoCross is actually out.

Oof. Apparently the text is too small for the green tick, too, so no marketing help there.

Not telling anyone about it, so only having 45 concurrent users of your multiplayer game on launch day doesn't seem like a super successful strategy.

Quoting: VasilisI was thinking for a Linux exclusive first, we are testing it on:

1. Fedora (it's my machine)
2. Ubuntu
3. Steam deck

It should work for all Linux distros, we just put that as a minimum.

Definitely test on those - really, test wherever you can - but ideally building against the Steam Linux Runtime [External Link] means that the user's distro doesn't matter because the game's using libraries from Steam's container.

A little Opus Magnum and World of Goo combined perhaps.

I'd say Contraption Maker [External Link].

I've been playing Sail Forth [External Link] on the Deck. It's pretty sweet. I was enjoying it enough that I also got the DLC, although I've not done any of the DLC content yet.

Quoting: dibzWhat do you mean by hostility?

The dev tools for Linux builds of games on GOG were significantly worse than those for builds for other platforms; better Linux support was massively the most-requested feature from their own community on their own wishlist feature for years, which they alternately ignored or silently deleted; and then they chose to use their Linux-using customers as the butt of a joke for edgy Cyberpunk marketing. These are not the actions of a company with a positive attitude towards Linux.

Quoting: tpauGoG endorsed Heroic Launcher in their Reddit posts and they gave the Heroic Team an affiliate link, so this is rather close to an "official" client :wub:

That's less than Epic did; they gave Lutris a token amount of cash. And no one would consider Lutris to be anything like an official Epic client.

GOG's Linux-hostility means that I last gave them money in... 2017, and I have no intention of giving them more in the future. It's good to have tools to stop people's GOG libraries keeping them locked into Windows, though.
