Quoting: stssThe question wasn't why they would make that decision, the question is why they would be in that situation in the first place if the engine was developed to be multiplatform from the start.

That's like asking why the other kid in the class finished first on a totally different homework assignment...
It might be called software engineering, but when it comes to engineering and predictability, it's more like software art.

Quoting: stssCan someone put our fears to rest and say this makes sense from a development perspective on an engine that is supposed to be built from the bottom up with multiplatform support?

Sure: Linux port just isn't done yet / different team / more,harder work,more new stuff to learn for Vulkan ?

I mean:
MS-Team: "Hey Linux porting department, we are done, how about you guys ?"
Linux: "Mwea still working on this new Vulkan stuff."
MS-Team: "Well we ain't letting our users wait."
Or would you rather prefer everybody gets to wait equally ?

I tried the trial, i got 30fps or less. Unplayable for me, can't check why (and I forget what the bottleneck was)

Quoting: edoWhich engine is this game using? Its interesting than it can be developed using ubuntu.

Usually custom build, since not a log of voxel engines out there :)
Edit: and at first sight the dev video shows some code typical for custom build engines.

Quoting: Beamboom... So it analyze the music and build the track instead of being pre-scripted to the music. But can you then use your own tracks? That'd be cool!

It can download stuff from soundcloud, or you point it to a music file on your computer. There is also a automatic "find music" thingy in the game, but turned that off; so no clue what it does.
If you don't mind the download it has a demo on steam(maybe somewhere else too) good for 3 songs.

Ps downside of not pre-scripted: if the analysis aren't 100% neither will the track be :'(

Just tried a few songs, it gets it somewhat right. But I feel the keyboard isn't really matching up with the songs. Musics analys stays hard it seems.

The game seems to be fun, but the lag is TERRIBLE :/
