Encased, a sci-fi post-apocalyptic RPG to release this 'Fall' with a Linux version

Quoting: Liam DaweIt's just become a generic term used by some to mean it will have a native build, no need to think deep into it.
OK. Confusion in terms and filenames says a lot about the professionalism of the developers. By the way people pay them money for their games. In recent years I ran many Linux proprietary games (especially on Unity) which were built with many errors and work poorly in contrast to Windows builds. Such developers usually don't care about Linux users after selling their games.
It's sad but true. Hopefully everything will be fine with this game.

Quoting: Liam DaweI've actually seena a few Unity games end up with a .exe name for the Linux build. The filename means nothing.
Yes, I saw it too. In Vaporum for example.
That is not the point, but "native port".
Port is either there or not.
All games on crossplatform engines (Unity, Unreal etc) are builds, not ports.

>"We have native port..."
What is meant "native" + "port"??
And "Encase.exe" on top panel strongly inspires the hope of the adequacy of these developers. LOL.
