Linux and Mac Versions?

Hello there,

I was just installing the Game on WINE (/Lutris) on Linux and I can start it alright and set volume, access the menus etc. But there is no text shown (maybe if it's all still in Chinese, I might need to install a language pack on WINE for it?) and when I click "New Game" the Game kinda gets stuck on a black screen.

WINE is an WINdows Emulator for Linux, with which other Unity Games also run pretty flawlessly.
So, I don't know (yet) if all these problems will be fixed once there's an English version available, but if it's possible, a native MacOS and Linux Version would be really nice at some point.

(If you're developing in Windows, Linux and Mac-users will need to set the "executable bits" via the " chmod +x "-command once the Game is unpacked, but I don't think that's unknown to them [well, maybe some MacOS-/Linux-users who aren't as familiar with how their Operating System works in the background ;-P )

Hi there, 

Thank you for the playing and your feedback.

Sorry I don't know anything about Linux but I think is the black screen is caused by DirectX(DX).

I put video in the game and it is using the DX12 when I developed in Unity 3D, so any other version that lower then 12 is not working. I will try to change the setting of DX in the new version of the game. 

And yes, we'd like to make the English version of the game, but it takes more time than our thoughts. 

For now we're focusing on the Chapter 2 developing.

Thank you again for paying.

Alright, so I do get to the Start-Screen and when I click "New Game" I end up in a night-scene with some small lights flying around, but nothing happens when I click anything there.

Maybe this has something to do with the Menu-Text, I cannot see in the Preferences Menu either. I found all the settings intuitively by trying them out, but there's still some text missing on the buttons - just like when I click to get to the in-game menu when I hit the ESC-key (I see a menu popping up with a different patterned background and there are menu points I can choose, but there is no text rendered on them weirdly enough...

So, the rendering works for the most part, but it could be that WINE doesn't have the Chinese language pack installed...I'll see whether I can do that there and if so, if it fixes the problem with the text not showing (even though I still wouldn't be able to understand it sadly, but I could try to deduct ;-P ).

Re night-scene: Sorry, I have no idea why this is happened. In the beginning of the game, there is about 1 minute autoplay scene. Maybe you can try to press ctrl? In that way you may able to skip this part.

Re Menu-Text: I used a free font called Azedo, it is designed by Pedro Azedo(https://befonts.com/azedo-font.html), can Linux system installs this font?

Re Chinese-Text: For Chinese part, I used Roboto Designed by Christian Robertson (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto).
