Any Support for Linux

[LieutenantCommanderData-XGP]

as the Tittle says Is there gonna be Support for Linux for MZ just like RPG Maker MV?
or at least down the Road

I genuinely don't care if you have a purchased copy of RPG Maker MV or not. That wasn't the point of my comment, as I've explained in depth. Your personal case doesn't equate to a standard across the user base of Linux. I can't personally attest, nor could you, what proportion of users of Linux purchase all of their software licenses compared to those who may acquire them by illegal means. That also wasn't the point of my comment, either.

I couldn't tell you who spends what on Humble Bundle, either. That, too, isn't really relevant to the original comment - and even if it were, that's substantially different from paying full retail price for a game. Nobody develops a game with the thought process of, "A ton of people will pay for this when I mark it down 75% and sell it as a package deal with other software".

New computers are almost always sold with Windows or Mac OS platforms pre-installed and non-optional. Mobile devices are almost always sold with Android or iOS pre-installed and non-optional. Gaming consoles are sold with proprietary OS platforms pre-installed and non-optional. A person has to go out of their way to reject other options and force Linux upon themselves in order to even have it as an OS. You're right that software developers base their choices on the OS platforms utilized by consumers. Linux isn't really on that list, because it isn't sold on consumer-ready purchasable devices.

Listen, I feel for you guys who like it as an OS, I really do - I've never used it personally and have never felt any motivation to attempt it. But, I respect that people like what they like, and competition is healthy for a productive commercial sector. Unfortunately, Linux hasn't ever positioned itself to be competitive from a market standpoint. Hardware developers know it, device manufacturers know it, and software developers know it too.

lol dude, of course what I purchase isnt the same for every linux user. You need to understand this. when you buy a PC you CAN choose to have windows pre installed or not esspecially if you purchase online. Mac PC, you are stuck with OSX. there are 42,977 games right now on the steam storefront, of those there is 7,213 Native Linux games. Now this is including games from all the way back to Atari on the Steam store now that make up that 42,977. Linux gaming has been around on steam since 2013. I was the beta tester. Back then there was 1 game Team Fortress 2. In 7 years we went from 1 to 7,213 that is insane. This is not including the 11,269 games that people can run in Proton. That brings the total count to 18,482 titles that work under linux. That is roughly 40% of Steams entire game library runs on linux.

If you really felt for Linux users, you wouldnt have made that comment in this thread to begin with. You chose to make that comment because you think you are ENTITLED to your opinion. If you want what we want then either help us, or shut up. its just that simple. You came here looking for a fight with your comment.

I know , I know.......I am weak in my patience.

[cayenne_spicy]

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, and I've been articulate in presenting my perspective. I've also been polite and respectful in my responses. You, on the other hand, have repeatedly opted for name-calling, diversion, and dismissal, but apparently I'm the troll? That's an interesting way to look at it.

Well, I've endured enough of that from you.

End of Discussion no more Trolling

-2 for linux get off your haxor systems thats all linux is good for

Most of the internet is running on linux. For that matter most small electronics run on linux. Your router? linux. Smart Home Hub? Linux. Satnav in your car? Linux. Smart TV? Linux. Android Phone? Yea thats linux too.

Yeah, but those are diffrent then gaming pcs. Its like saying "many people use big rigs," but if you are using a big rig to commute to a cubicle job something just seems off

Oh and lots of people use pirated software for all those things you talked about too. Its crazy common its why Microsoft and others actually got divisions that all they do is set up tip lines and investigate people not paying license fees at their offices lol

Hot take: Nobody develops software for Linux because Linux users by the very fact that they're using Linux demonstrate their unwillingness to pay for software.

I don't care if I'm wrong or not, I'll speak until I'm right.

This is hilarious! It reminds me of that Texas teacher ranting that Linux is illegal.

For anyone who wants linux support. Here is the email to request it.

It seems to work fine on linux for me?
Rather, it would be nice if they ungimped mapping. They broke it in MV, and tbh, I have no interest in MV or MZ with mapping the way it is.

[hyperdoxical]

I would LOVE MZ to run on linux. MV worked beautifully on linux.

oh, and btw ... linux is awesome (maybe not so much for games though)

[ryukusu_luminarius]

I don't know if the there are any plans for Linux, but right now, I just bought MV. If the DLC and MV projects are compatible with MZ and MZ is released for Linux I will consider buying MZ.

[SolidNoctis]

Actually it could be awesome if this works with Linux or export to Linux and Android. I don't know why they left especially the export.

[ryukusu_luminarius]

Yesterday I learned that under hood, the executable file is just a little bit customized version of Chromium!
Maybe they don't bother building it for Linux, but Android?
If you have the web version, you can easily create a node.js application with Electron and serve HTML files. So, there is a workaround for Linux.
For Andoind, you need to use Cordova to serve HTML files, it is more complex.

However, I also learned that some resources and plugins are available only for the specific versions. So, I'm not going to purchase MZ. I'd better purchase the resources or MV.
And maybe that is why there are no plans for Linux.

I really dont think that will be the case. When MV came out it took a while for Linux and Mac support to arrive. So it is most likely the same case here.
