Linux version?

This game looks fantastic! I like the idea and I love the graphics :)

Do you have any plans for porting it to Linux as well?

Developer(+1)

Thanks! At the moment it's not in our plans. But then I say that like we've got a plan.... which we don't! So who knows, if enough people request it we could :)

Well, I would appreciate a linux porting too =)

Well, the game is made in Unity so it should not be that big of a problem.

I also tried WINE, but that left everything very dark.

Yes, the same happened with me

About to upload a Linux version. It's untested because we don't have a Linux machine, so let us know how you get on :)

The Linux version works just fine (x64)

Developer

\o/

In which case we will happily throw Linux into the mix (with the caveat that it's untested).

I tested linux, I am able to see the world and move the camera with WASD, but the mouse does not work. Pointer moves, but it won't do anything, even in pause/ESC menu.

Start it in Windowed Mode and it can get the mouse. The issue seems to be with full screen mode.

Hey there. I tried running both 86 and 64 and neither seem to recognize any mouse input. This is on mint 18.1

Developer

Ok I've added to the bug list. Thanks

I can verify this too in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions but just the buttons. The mouse scroll wheel for zooming works fine.

Linux Mint 18.2 on Kernel 4.8.0-58. The keyboard is captured properly so I can pan the camera and I can also mouse wheel to zoom in and out but none of the buttons are captured. A Wacom Tablet has the same issue where none of the pen buttons are captured either.

This means you cannot actually quit the program as you can't click on Quit.

On Kali 64bit (debian 8x based) the 32bit version wont even start and the 64bit one doesnt go further then the options starting menu

Developer

Added. Thanks

First, thank you for putting out a Linux version!

Just wanted to report that unrecognized mouse input seems to be only a problem in full screen, in windowed mode everything seems to work. Otherwise game runs fine on Ubuntu 15.10 with LXDE.

thanks. Confirmed that windowed works in mint 18.1 as well

When i tried opening it, it didn't work properly as it needed an opengl package however i don't know which one it needs

I use 4.5.0 v (in terminal: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version") and its work fine

thanks for the help but it still isn't working and I don't know why

Trying to start on my Ubuntu 12.04 VM
Yeah it's an old virtual machine which i don't want to update as I have software on it that needs that version of the OS...

It starts up and gives the initial launch screen wanting resolution and graphics quality and no matter what I pick it just silently exits without an error message :(

Back to Windows...

its too outdated to handle it.

Denki - you may need to check which version of Unity you are currently using because I have just spotted a blog about an unrelated game that had the "Linux Fullscreen breaks Mouse Input" problem and it was attributed to a bug in Unity that has apparently been addressed.

Here is the link to the blog where the issue is presented with an interim fix for Steam Linux users until Unity was changed to the new version...

Yep thanks. We've spotted this and will be updating Unity for Version 8. Thanks!
