Shame it never arrived to Steam despite being successful at Steam Greenlight process.

As far as I can see, they've still been pretty silent about the Native Linux support that was mentioned on the original crowdfunding campaign. A lot has changed since then though. Hopefully it will work okay in Proton if they're no longer doing that.
No, they promised native Linux support, nothing less is acceptable. Video game development is a business, not charity. "We promised you apple tart but decided to not bother, here take an apple instead and don't cry" should never be the norm.

Well, I don't have "played on more than one device" section probably because I exclusively play on Linux. B-)

Classic racer Re-Volt returned to Steam — here's how to work it on Steam Deck / Linux
9 Sep 2022 at 7:43 pm UTC

Quoting: ElectricPrismI guess I forgot what I read and later bought this game, then Proton + Steam Deck throws error "Can't set view-port"

I could go through the effort to make it run, but then I have hundreds of titles and the idea of spending money and not having something work is bad service -- I hope they get it sorted out -- with the tens of thousands of other games that play on Proton just fine -- they should get this sorted.

I never played this before so I'm not nostalgic, it just looked like fun and reminiscent of a time period where games were really difficult & rewarding.
Use Luxorpeda instead of Ptoton as the article suggests.

Quoting: Liam DaweComplaining about it enabling a game work on Linux, and berating a developer because they chose not to do a Native build doesn't really help anyone at this point.
Kindly pointing a broken promise is not berating. Please do not take things out of context.

It is worth mentioning that the dev uses Proton as an excuse for not even trying to make previously promised Linux version. I rather pass.

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 15: Square Cubed
7 Mar 2022 at 8:28 pm UTC

The flexibility of the engine resulted in a number of forks, the most notable being AssaultCube, a standalone tactical spin off which still sees active development.
AssaultCube is still quite fun. I have just noticed that AssaultCube has been released on Google Play for Android for free. Interesting...

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 14: Return to Na Pali
28 Feb 2022 at 8:13 pm UTC

Yeap, I played entire Unreal and Return to Na Pali as an UT99 mod on Linux natively back in 2011. I even had a sound delay related with Alsa or OSS that I fixed near the end of the first game. Fun times..
