64-bit Linux support?

Hi,

I noticed that this game only ships with 32-bit binaries (game, bundled libraries, steamapi runtime included).

Would be great to have it working without 32-bit, with 64-bit version. You can build both and put into same package in steam, and set one or another to run in steam automatically.

Non-Unity games worth looking that supports and ship both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in the same download: Uplink, FEZ, The Escapists, Super Meat Boy, Super Hexagon, Serena, Opus Magnum, Human Resource Machine, Great Permutator, FTL Faster Than Light, EDGE, Dustforce, Darwinia, Democracy 3, About Love Hate and the other ones, Abyss The Wraiths of Eden, etc. Some of these use SDL/SDL2, but some directly interact with X / OpenGL or Vulkan and other APIs.

You could also loo at some Unity games that ships both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in the same download, i.e. ChromaGun, AER(vulkan), Duskers, Art of Gravity, Automata Empire, Bridge Constructor Portal(vulkan), Despotism 3k(vulkan), Glitchspace, One More Line, PlagueInc, Micron, Skyward Collapse, SkyBoats(vulkan), Splice, wtl(vulkan), klocki(vulkan), oO, Train Valley, Unium, TheFall(vulkan), The39Steps, The Last Federation, TIS-100, Solar Settlers(vulkan), Spirits of Xanadu(vulkan), SiNKR(vulkan), etc.

Much appreciated!

Asking, because future of 32-bit Linux is a bit unclear in a coming decade :) Most notably Steam provided 32-bit runtime is not enough, as OpenGL drivers still need to be provided by distro for example.

PS. I also heard macOS could have similar issues in a coming years.

PS. Darwinia and Uplink are provided both as 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on Linux. Which is awesome! :) Multiwinia however is not, despite readme claiming that both are provided. :( (also it ships with pretty outdated libpng14 ABI).

Arch has the multilib repositories, they wont be going anywhere anytime soon.
This game is old, really old. It was made before 64 bit was a big thing. Dont get your hopes up.

I am not. But it is better to voice my opinion and what I would like to happen, that to be silent.

Arch and Debian will support 32-bit kernel and 32-bit userland for some time, but even them can't do that forever I am afraid.
