Well, how do I set this up on Linux. I need a tutorial or something cause I’m lost.
Hello. I'm sorry to hear about the problem. I'm not familiar with Linux, so I have zero idea about the required configuration for that system. Perhaps you'll be able to easily play the game in your browser? Here a link to a Web-Browser Edition: https://tyrving.itch.io/after-years-web-browser-version?secret=2xVhaOotNJrmXN445...
Extract the files from "After Years 0.14.0 (Linux).zip" and you should get a folder with the same name. Inside that should be a file titled "Game". This file does not have an extension. Click on this file to execute it.
If the game does not start, you are likely missing a required library. For me it was gconf, and this is almost certainly the case for you as gconf is depreciated and unlikely to come pre-installed. If you are on an arch based distribution, you can get gconf straight from the AUR. If you use some other distro, you will have to check their software repositories. If you think you have gconf installed and it still wont run, I can walk you through running it from terminal. This will allow you to see any errors that are preventing it from opening.
