Interview with OutOfTheBit on their cinematic platformer Nanuka: Secret of the Shattering Moon

QuoteQ: How was your experience releasing on GOG compared with Steam?

I didn't understand that question. I mean neither Full Void, nor Nanuka have a GOG page (except Super Arcade Football). Did I missed something?
It's kind of heartbreaking though to not see these games there...
Their answer is pretty "standard" unfortunately, it doesn't really tell us how was it and/or why they didn't release their other games on GOG.

But I do appreciate that:

QuoteOur games work well with Proton but we prefer making a native port for Linux, that way our games run well on older hardware and are kinder on the battery.

QuoteBack during the Kickstarter campaign in 2020 I naively promised things that I had never done before and so I did not realize how much work they were for so little trade off.

Wow! "Are you kidding me?", It's really shameful. I suspect this is the case for a majority of KS campaigns...

I really hope, this time, a lot of people will wake up. I don't know what else they'll need if that's not sufficient for them. And I just really know, like some of you sadly, if I speak about that to some of my family's members they'll just think I'm paranoid, more than usual I mean...
Some people I know already use Linux, for some with my help, and I speak about it regularly.
I don't know for you, but whenever people switch to Linux because of me I'm pretty happy, but that's just a drop in the ocean...
It's frightening, a nightmare, and it's worse day after day, I'm losing hope for fuck sake.

Thank you for bringing up an important point regarding browser compatibility and the terminology we use in our documentation.

As of now, we primarily support Chromium-based browsers (such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Brave, etc.) due to their comprehensive support for certain web technologies essential to our project. Specifically, here are the compatibility challenges we face with other popular browsers:

Firefox: Unfortunately, Firefox does not support WebCodecs, which is critical for decoding audio and video on the client side in our application.
Safari: While Safari has limited support for WebCodecs, it lacks support for WebTransport altogether. We use WebTransport as a more efficient alternative to WebRTC and WebSocket for our needs.

We acknowledge the value in making our project as compatible as possible with a wider range of browsers and will update our README to clearly explain these compatibility issues.

And thank you for the correction regarding "Chromium"-based browsers - I did not know that :)

Can someone tell if it's legit or not?

Update went fine on my side (XFCE), except a little issue I'm not sure where it come from, with Transmission-gtk, like when I right click on items it appears either black or zoomed, strange.
