Steam reviews can be super useful but as with most internet resources, you have to dig through a mountain of trash to find the gem.

It's one of the biggest issues to solve in internet imo.

Prodeus cancels the Native Linux version, focusing on Proton compatibility (updated)

Not surprising. It is unfortunately easier for Unity gamedevs to use Proton compatibility layer than make separate Linux build.

Prodeus uses Unity. There's always tiny issues when building Unity games to Linux/MacOS. It's an engine clearly made Windows first. Source: I've got like +5 games made with Unity. The point of using Unity for multiplat games is that it always builds similar game for every platform. But in case of Linux and MacOS, it never does!

Anyhow, I hoped the support for Linux native builds would be better these days for Unity. Apparently not.

Hopefully Godot will overthrow Unity someday. Maybe not, but at least it has better Linux build support.

Rant about Unity aside, I don't blame the devs. Annoying for sure. Knowing the quirks of this damn engine, I blame it instead.

I guess we'll get Steam Deck 2 Episode 1 after that ;)

Unity to 'merge' with ironSource with a buzzword salad press release

Unfortunately we gamedevs cant just snap fingers and make game work in different engine. Many of us are vendor locked.

Engine switching in middle of a project comes with super high cost of time: Gotta relearn the engine, gotta rewrite code in some language I've never heard of or is just incompatible (No, you can't just copy paste unity C# to godot c#)... On top of losing access to many assets, which make the gamedev easier, especially for solo developers.

Godot has been long time on my radar, but for now one of my titles im working on has to be (very likely) finished under Unity. It's just what it is. Unless some kind of miracle happens and I can reuse all my unity assets in godot, I can rewrite the current code in record time etc..

(Something funny I've noticed, if the game doesn't explicitly mention it's made with Unity when booting up, people have no idea what the engine is. Nor they care.)

Anyhow, Godot is going to be engine for any future projects of mine.

Quoting: slaapliedje
Quoting: akselmoStunning! I lost my saves recently due to switching from Kubuntu to Fedora, so I suppose it's time to start it all over again.. With shinies! :)
This is why I always have a separate /home partition... also make backups!
I did take backups.. Everything except the Morrowind saves! :'D
