One of our favourite games Slay the Spire is getting even better on Linux with a new beta up

Quoting: bidinouI have a controller issue with this game, the "RB" (or RT I don't remember) used to save & quit the game doesn't work, and apparently I'm not the only one. Any idea ? Using an XBox gamepad (works in other games). (Steam version)

Maybe the new beta does fix it !
With the Steam Controller on the beta it's still a little funky, can't scroll the items on the main menu for example. However, right trigger to quite and save seems to work fine.

Quoting: rkfgBut is it going to be released for Linux at the day one?
Twitter may have been vague, but the Itch and Steam pages list all platforms.
Yep, but still they removed the original tweet that mentioned Linux so I'm a bit concerned. But maybe I'm overthinking this.
They had no issues updating it at the same time during the earlier builds, I've no doubt it will be fine. I've reached out to them to settle any worries, will update if/when they reply.

About GOG, it's coming [External Link]:
The internet transfer speed gods have not shone favorably on us for uploading/finalizing the Linux and Mac builds on GOG, and we’re expecting a slight delay before they’re live. Current expectations are measured in ‘a few hours’, and we’ll let you know as soon as they’re available.

Apologies for the slight delay—we’re almost there!

Quoting: TheSHEEEP... you are aware that key can be changed in the settings? First thing I always do...
Sure, the point is having a sane default though, this is sane. The original was not.

Something I don't often have to do: as of now I'm closing the comments on this one before it descends any further into hell. Take issues with me doing so? The forum is open if you wish to discuss how I and other contributors handle such things.

As the owner, I pride myself on our community most of the time being very respectful but there's times like this where I feel leaving it open will begin to attract more trolls and abusive comments. I hope people understand my reasoning behind doing so.

End note: I really do wish everyone could just get along no matter your gender, race, religion or anything.

That is a quote from Voidpoint's statement.
