Linux build of my first game
arik Jan 30, 2021
Hello. I hope it's ok if I post here. I'm not a professional developer and don't have any experience with Linux, so a friend helped me with the options in my config file and I uploaded a Linux build to Steam. It works (with some fixable fullscreen issues) for him, but I want to kindly ask some of you to test it and tell me if you can run it and if there are any bugs in the game. That would really help!
Please, tell me if you wanna try - it's in the Game properties on Steam - betas - linux build.

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to GamingOnLinux, arik.

Just to clarify: Are you looking for existing owners of the game who would like to test it on Linux, or are you offering keys to potential testers?

In any case, the game looks fun. Gotta love the SCUMM-style UI. :)

Thanks for working on a Linux build. I've wishlisted it for now.

Hei tuubi! Thanks for your reply and nice words :)
Actually both, so if you wanna test/play it on linux, I can send you a code privately.

Hey Arik! From the screenshots of your game I get a strong LucasArts games vibe (a fan of those games I suppose, as am I). If there is a demo of the linux version I would gladly test it for you. I wish the best of luck with your game.

Thanks so much! I made the game because I am a huge fan of those games as well, and I hope people will enjoy it :)

(Looks like there is a bug with the fullscreen which the software developers are fixing, so I think I can wait until it's done.)
