No Ubuntu support?

That's sad. Game won't work properly in Ubuntu, had to refund. Will happily buy again if the problem is solved. Thank you!

Ugh, sorry about that. I was told that it works well on the steam deck though.
I don't know much about Linux so I couldn't do a build on it.

Just to get some information, you tested with Wine? Something else?

There are only like 8 people left who use Linux. They typically account for < 3% of sales and 40% of tech support issues so devs typically don't bother with it anymore due to all the hassles and headache.

OP, ever hear of Windows 10? Games just work.

Thanks for your reply, Christophe. The vast majority of games work fine on Steam, thanks to Proton (Wine). But when your game (which is very cool) starts, there's an error. Sorry I can't reproduce it (it's related to a PhP or something).

Okay, thanks for the info :)
I'll try to make a linux build when I have time. Maybe it's easier than I think (especially as i'm on mac).

It should be trivial to do an Electron build for Linux if you're developing this on Mac. Can walk you through it if needed.

I agree, it shouldn't be too complicated. There is just the configuration part specific to this platform that can be long (because I don't know much about it) but it should be fine.
