Hm, I've been using native ScummVM with compatible GOG games without issues for years. Setup is trivial. Nice nod to Roberta Williams in the name though :)

Quoting: PhiladelphusThen, you have the resources to port to a second OS: MacOS or Linux? Assuming your game works for maybe half of Linux players (using Proton), then the potential market is probably larger porting to Mac.Personally as a developer I'd give macOS the least priority, due to Apple being extreme lock-in proponents, and due to macOS compatible hardware not being gaming oriented to begin with, especially for anything even remotely demanding. As @Purple Library Guy said above, Apple can be even viewed as gaming hostile, so that's another reason to simply avoid it.

Quoting: Liam DaweIt probably will be whenever Valve starts mentioning it in store pages.You mean Valve plan to start mentioning Proton compatibility on game pages? That's interesting.

Quoting: Liam DaweSteam Play has so far not come up as a reason why. Edit: Okay I lied, there was this one.I've seen Krome make such argument, to excuse not releasing Linux version of the Bard's Tale trilogy remaster:

We also have some news regarding The Bard’s Tale Trilogy for Mac gamers. Since launch, we’ve seen that Linux users have been able to play the game with minimal fuss, using methods like Steam’s Proton service. On the other hand, Mac users have not been able to play the game, so we are pleased to announce that we have made the additional investment to develop a Mac version.They mean to say, they'll release for macOS, but not for Linux. And it's a Unity game with minimal dependencies really. Though probably, this line of thinking isn't common.
Mable & The Wood is a fairly unusual Metroidvania out now with Linux support

— "I don't think it's covered under warranty."
— "Some assembly required."
— "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!"
Finding the disperser:
— "I spray, you pray!"
And so on.
Ads are also hilarious "Addictive soda", "McMonster", "Worst National Bank" and etc.

Quoting: Faalhaas- It had a bad onelinersOne-liners are actually quite good. When dispatching another cyborg:

Quoting: rustybroomhandleBut anyway, "gamers" is just people who play games. You're not some special anything.Indeed. I find it strange, that gamers are put into some category that implies some behavioral or social attributes. It's simply wrong, and I think it comes from the old and false stereotype of "adults don't play games", from those who had no appreciation for games as a form of art. Today this notion for the most part is debunked, but "gamers" as some special category still persists because of it. In essence, it's like saying "book readers" or "music listeners". Would you make some social categorization based on that? I wouldn't, it's way too broad to make such generalizations. Same thing with games.

I didn't finish the game yet, but I haven't seen anything like described above. The game itself is great, I especially like small interactions with the environment.
