Let's hope the name of the game isn't foretelling how long it'll take to release.

Quoting: Luke_NukemI've been addicted to this for a while now - playing on macOS.
The game is everything you could hope for, and more.
How's the performance on macOS?

This sounds cool. I hope there's a "free explore" mode where you don't have to worry about resource management. That sounds too much like a job. :D

Quoting: CheesenessIf there are specific places in specific levels where you're noticing significant frame rate drops? If so, it might be worth reporting these so that Revival can combine them with other reports when considering future performance optimisations.
I haven't played in a month or so, but back then, Phoebe Refinery really tanked my fps (on my GTX 970). Other areas ran over 100 fps. No settings changes helped. Another user on Steam discussion said he had the same problem. I also agree that these are issues that should be reported and can probably be fixed over time. It seems like the Unity engine takes some extra care to get it performing consistently well, but it is possible, as evidenced by games like Shadow Tactics.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHuh. So let's see . . . if Google ever gets Android stuff working on Chromebooks, that would give you Steam games via link on Chromebooks as a side effect.
Many Chromebooks already have Android support, including my Acer Chromebook 14, which I've had for months. I have both Android apps and Ubuntu running on it.

This game works great with a Steam controller, but this is the icing on the cake right here:

"A free custom Level Editor will be released sometime after launch."
The developer of Helium Rain gave an update on their sales, low overall sales but a high Linux percentage

I just picked it up last night and enjoyed the 50 minutes I played. I'm just wondering if there's an exploration element to this game. Can I just go wandering and find interesting/useful things or is that a waste of time and I should just stick to the contracts I find at stations?

Quoting: HoriWhile the gap between Windows and Ubuntu performance is quite small (compared to other ports), it's still sad that it exists and I hope they are going to continue working hard to close it.
From these numbers, it's possible if it had been originally developed on Linux, it might have been equal or even better. This might be the best we can realistically hope for when playing a major commercial game ported by a third party.
