Quoting: LinasIs there an official definition of what criteria needs to be matched for a game to be rated silver and bronze?

Click on "Show rating definitions" on protondb page to read:

Rating Definitions
Platinum:Runs perfectly out of the box
Gold:Runs perfectly after tweaks
Silver:Runs with minor issues, but generally is playable
Bronze:Runs, but often crashes or has issues preventing from playing comfortably
Borked:Either won't start or is crucially unplayable

So, BTW and IMHO, having to set environment variables would be gold, not platinum.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat angered people even more...

:D

But, in all seriousness, thinking of the children:
The very first thing I told mine about cars and trains was "toot toot!",
to the extend that one of them thought "toot-toot-car" would be a single term for car. :)
Cars and trains totally need to be able to do the toot!

Quoting: TheSHEEEP

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWeird as it sounds, I was somewhat disappointed when I played the game and couldn't toot the horn.
It felt a bit like playing GTA, but being unable to toot aggressively.

Don't you know that proper society frowns on blowing your own horn? :wink:

That might explain some of the reactions I've earned...

But, mind the children...!

Quoting: appetrosyanIs there a Linux native game that uses Vulkan? I wonder if all the wins are due to OpenGL being bad, or because of something else...

Crotean is using Vulkan.

Hm. Not sure what to make of this. Didn't play their latest games yet, but they're not famous for their narratives, are they...?

Still, worth a look.

Quoting: dreamer_That's an option to be explored. At the moment I am hesistant about receiving donations for this purpose. Going by official Steam rules, this tool would not be allowed on Steam Store [External Link] - and there's simply no precedent here. I will investigate this option again when 1.0.0 release will be in sight :).

Maybe Liam could test the grounds?
It should be in the interest of Valve, too, I think...

Quoting: dreamer_It might differ by region, I'm not sure - for my region it's 95USD which would be reimbursed after reaching 1000USD in sales. Somehow I was convinced it was 400USD until I checked just now.

If you manage to make all (currently available) Wadjet Eye games playable with this with some mouse clicks by the user, using native Linux binaries, I'd pay this fee.

I agree on what you're saying about Valve and Linux gaming...

Quoting: elmapuland the user count didnt changed, i wouldnt call that an sucess, sucess is to expand the marketfrom 0 to tens of millions of units sold (or user count) in a single video game generation.

... but this is absurd. (Financial) success is when you're earning more money than your investing. Or the same, when you're paying yourself a decent wage.

Quoting: dreamer_Anyway, with free-to-use tool, I couldn't recuperate the cost of publishing it.

What costs (how much) would that be?
