Linux version is x86 only.

When downloading the Linux demo, there is only an x86 executable available. If you look on Steam's hardware survey you'll see that almost every Linux gamer is using 64 bit already.

However, you could always just include an x86_64 and a x86 build if you wanted too.

Personally I would do the following:

* Include both an x86 and x86_64 binary.
* Include a shell script (called something like "play-watch1.sh" that does the following:


#!/bin/bash

ARCH=$(uname -m)

case $ARCH in

    x86_64)

        chmod +x ./WATCH1.x86_64

        ./WATCH1.x86_64

        ;;

    

    i386 | i686)

        chmod +x ./WATCH1.x86

        ./WATCH1.x86

        ;;

    *)

        echo "This game is not able to run on your platform."

        ;;

esac

It seems you guys don't have any Linux testers, so if you need any other help hit me up.

By the way, right now, in order to get the x86 version to run on x86_64 bit Linux systems, the user will need to install the following 32 bit multlibs:


lib32-libxcursor lib32-libxinerama lib32-libxrandr lib32-alsa-lib lib32-libpulse


At least on Arch linux.

Thanks for the report! You're that A_Glimmer_of_Hope dude from Godot subreddit right?

If you want to be the linux tester, it will be really help me! Thanks! I myself will buy new computer in the near future, so now your help really appreciated! :)

For now, I have added the *.x86_64 build. So there will be 2 separate build for x86 and x86_64, i'll let user pick which one they want to download.

So what’s the difference between non-starred .x86_64 and starred *.x86_64 Linux builds? It’s not explained on the page description, I just picked the non-starred one and it works. Maybe the starred one has extra libs included or something? (but I thought Godot packed everything anyway, at least if I select my architecture)

i think that answer is for version 0.8.0 (that has star).

for now you should just download 0.8.1 (the latest).

x86_64 or x86 depending your archi if you use linux. 

or just download both and see which one work. XD

Ah, I didn’t see the version number. I played 0.8.1 indeed.
