I like the modern animation style. It reminds me of Knights and Bikes (obviously) and Jenny LeClue. I thought it was great in those games, and don't see why it wouldn't work in this game. Fingers crossed for a native Linux version.

I backed this game on Kickstarter, but I'm on vacation, so I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I look forward to doing so when I get back home.

Quoting: EhvisI played the short demo last year (it was only one screen). Did something get added now?

I played the demo on Steam a few weeks ago, and it was still a single room then.

Quoting: elmapulspeaking of hatsune miku, she IS creative commons, the character was made to be used by anyone, so they decided that change her licence to creative commmons was the logical thing to do:

unfortunatelly its non comercial, you need an special licence to do anything comercial with her (wich is kind of a good thing, it may be impossible to make an game with such a quality without some kind of exclusivity of the use of the characters, not to mention they need to licence the song so composers get paid anyway)

considering that miku is creative commons, pairing her with linux make a lot of sense, it was an "crime" an "heresy" that this didnt happen before, but this is finally being fixed.

Well, steady now. It's Deck-ready, but still uses Proton. And it's got Denuvo anti-tamper, so it's a straight no for me. Looks like fun though, and I do enjoy a rhythm game. Might pick it up if they ever remove the anti-tamper.

i forgot to mention that she may be the most famous copyleft character out there...

I think scaine's point here is that the effort invested into "pairing her with linux" in this case is very far away from the point of comparison, namely free software/artwork licenses.

There's a few different ways a game can be made available for Linux:

#1: Game is distributed as free software - Perfect!
#2: Game is proprietary, but has a Linux version - Nice!
#3: Game only has a Windows version, but they take care to make it run well with Proton - Decent.
#4: It coincidentally works with Proton - Well, OK.
#5: It has intrusive DRM, but still somehow works because of a ton of effort made by a third party - Zero f***s given

This game happens to be at the very bottom of this scale.

yeah i can understand your pov, but still, we are much better runing an proprietary game on top of an open source operating system, than on top of any proprietary system, especially consoles. people complain about drm on pc, but consoles are basically DRM-Machines, and games may even add they own drm on top of the system level drm from consoles.

people complain about drm on pc but they find an way to get ride of it, and later on when the company realise it was useless they often end up removing it anyway.

now, runing an native version would be ideal but...
there are a few issues with it, sometimes its easier to run the windows version of an old game on linux than the linux native build from the same game on linux, linux has historically an bad trackrecord of keeping backward comp, and no matter how many times we say "its solved now" we cant be sure its really solved until years have passed since the "fix" was done and things are still working.

not to mention that wine will ensure that most of the mods made for windows will also work on linux, and the modding comunity will be much bigger on windows in the short term, there is no way arround it until we fix our marketshare.

Yes, those are all valid points in general. I just think they are irrelevant to the point I was making, which is that the developer of the game, specifically, hasn't done anything to be worthy of your praise.

Yay!

Quoting: Liam DaweCuriously, I got a strange buzzing sound instead of some of the audio with the new 64bit version of the game. Deleting the "libopenal.so.1" file in the "lib64" folder seemed to solve that. No issues after that.

Thanks for the tip. I had the same issue, but that fixed it.

I had to take a screenshot of that too.

I played though it over the weekend, and enjoyed it a lot. My first playthrough took 7–8 hours, and I'm considering playing through it again with one of the other choices of profession (I picked programmer).

Judging by that thread and the previous announcement (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1417890/view/3220647375542994536), it seems like there _is_ a native Linux version, only they haven't managed to make it available for download for some reason.
