Quoting: tofuhead... so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to just export to linux as well as other platforms Godot supports..

Exporting to Linux with any given cross-platform engine is easy. Almost automatic if you don't approach it in a totally foolish way.

Actual support, however, with people maintaining builds and providing assistance with potential platform-specific issues, requires actual commitment.

Which is why I am very much against platform support as a KS stretch goal.
Platform support is not a "we'll throw 10k at the problem and then it's done" kind of deal.
It has a distinct smell of someone not understanding the actual problem and just trying to throw money at it.

Godot is a highly stable engine with cross-platform built into it from the get-go, however.
And World Of Goo not exactly a game that will push graphical boundaries.
So that should keep the chances of platform-specific issues rather low. Hopefully.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: CatKillerIt very much sounds like a scam to extract money from venture capitalists.

. . . Mind you, I don't have a big problem with that. Those folks clearly need money extracted from them. :grin:

Please don't make fun of them.

Just like cows who will be in pain if not milked, venture capitalists are in pain if money is not extracted :(

Quoting: JuliusWayland and Steam in general seems to be a mess right now. SteamVR used to work on KDE with wayland, but ever since the SteamVR 2.x update I can't get it to work anymore :(

Wait, so the 5th or so "year of the Wayland" is not actually it? ....

I am shook!

I very much recommend this Total Conversion/Upgrade mod for WBC3, it's standalone (but you gotta own WBC3 on Steam):

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420170/Warlords_Battlecry_The_Protectors_of_Etheria/ [External Link]

It is also on ModDB, where it doesn't require you to own WBC3.

It does change things around quite a bit.
And also comes with lots of QoL improvements, makes it work better in larger resolutions, adds a lot of sub-factions to the already 10-12 or so factions, includes several campaigns like the WBC2 campaign (you need to go to custom campaigns for these), etc.

Also a rather active Discord.

IMO the way to play this gem nowadays.

Quoting: HamishIt seemed a good balance between tackling moon logic and a genuine mental challenge.

Totally.

It's just.... I can't speak for everyone, but that isn't really what I'm looking for when playing these kinds of games. :grin:

Yeah, HeXen is more than anything else a test of patience.

How long until the endless backtracking and looking for hard to find levers, doors and keys will drive you insane?

Understandable.

Too bad for those using those emulators.

Personally, I restrict my emulation on the Deck to older hardware. Only up to PS2.
After that, it becomes nigh impossible to have reasonable collections anyway due to sheer size.

So if you're on Linux, it's going to continue to be best to buy hardware that uses DisplayPort.

I found that to be true regardless of Linux or AMD.
At least in my experience, I never had issues with DisplayPort, but definitely quite a few across platforms with HDMI.
