SteamOS/Linux build?

Okay, it runs fine via Proton, but a native build would still be preferred.

Sorry, but at this point that isn't likely. The last time we built this was waaaaay back on Unity 3.5. If we ever did like, an HD re-launch or something and updated the engine, we could think about it, but no clue if we ever will.

I'm SUPER glad to hear it runs ok via Proton, tho! I'm not super familiar with that, tho. Is that the tech/system that Steam is using to sort of automatically give games Linux support, or is it something similar but separate?

Also, thanks for trying and confirming that! Is this the kind of thing that's worth listing somewhere on the store desc, or would it already be obvious to a Linux-side gamer browsing around?

It is indeed what Steam's using. I have it locally enabled for all non-native games.

As for mentioning that the game is playable in this way, well, no harm in mentioning it somewhere; but, ideally, it'd be whitelisted as working via Proton. I expect that whitelisted games will be marked as such in the Steam store once this is out of beta.
