Quoting: PeciskThank you! First game was my favorite port, and I will buy this asap when it comes out!

P.s. also first Vulkan port, nice!

Actually, it's not the first Vulkan port.

Mad Max, Dawn of War III and F1 2017 all have Vulkan on Linux ;)

Quoting: Doc AngeloThe good old "We only have one programmer, so the Linux version will come after release!" As of right now, this is a good as "I have no idea what Linux even is, and I can not tell you if there will ever be a Linux port."

I think you're being way too harsh. For one single person, managing the development and support of multiple platforms is not exactly an easy task. That said, they've done it before with their previous game. I don't doubt their intentions at all.

Quoting: shawnsterphmm, well, I bought it. Never bought anything from itch.io before. It does not recognize any input from my mouse. Any ideas?

Alright, apparently a bug with unity. Work around found from developer: https://itch.io/t/67718/how-to-run-the-game [External Link]

The developer needs to update their version of Unity, it's a well known and old bug.

Quoting: no_information_hereNot sure what permadeath actually means in a TD game?

Like all permadeath, you die, that's it and start again.

Quoting: gabberYou're right "So if you were thinking about buying it, you will want to hold your horses until the Linux version arrives.", but your headline is a bit misleading since:
"one of the priority items" != "will gallop onto Linux"

How is it misleading exactly? It will come to Linux, it has been confirmed for a long time and they said it's a priority item.

The title did not say it would come at any specific time, the title was ambiguous for a reason. So no, it was not misleading at all.

Quoting: michaNice will look at your Steam Controller configuration soonish. I simply max'ed out the edge spin option which seems to work pretty well but not sure if it's perfect. :-)

Mine is simple, I only moved it over to Joystick Look as opposed to Mouse Joystick, since Joystick Look holds the position you put your thumb in. The problem with maxing out things like spin, is that you get far less control over it for when you need to quick move back straight.

Edit: Spelling error.

Quoting: throghCelebrating again a company giving some efforts back to free and libre projects does not change anything. In fact it is the same "whitewashing" Google is doing, but hey ... it's all about proprietary software here and only sometimes about free / libre software!

It actually changes quite a lot. Have you been keeping up with the pace of improvements to Mesa? It's quite incredible the progress made and a fair bit of it, as stated, has come from Valve-employed developers.

It's nothing to do with whitewashing, do you even know what that means, because it really doesn't sound like it.

You know why we mostly write about proprietary software here? That's what most games tend to be, we are a gaming site. If people emailed in more tips about open source games, we would cover them. However, from my own research (of which I do a lot), open source games are developed a lot slower and there's obviously vast amounts less of them.

I think you need a little less pessimism and a little more positivity.

Quoting: spayder26IMHO their linux efforts require quite lot more manpower they're willing to put in for.

Throwing more people at a problem, is not always the most effective solution - this is basic management knowledge :). It can often cause more problems, on top of the time needed to get each new person up to speed and so on.

Quoting: Alfa-OmegaThe demo is wrong setup on steam... Steam try to load an .exe file (which doesn't exist) if you open the game folder you can run the game just running the binary file...

So it does, I've adjusted the text for that.
