Yyyyeeeah it might’ve took a bit of time between previous major patch and the current one, but maybe this shows consenuī doesn’t always holds true. We were simply busy.

It’s 100% playable on Linux, as a matter of fact I’m playing it on Bazzite right now.

Haha, no yeah our marketing and support is doing tremendous job everywhere else but they’re not aware of Lemmy yet so yeah I’m just an actual developer who loves Lemmy.

Tyvm!
So our game designers might tell it better but, the economy inside the game relies on supply/demand chains,
- Production of villages
- Villager parties carrying products from villages to cities
- Workshops in towns process some of the product to have higher tier materials
- Merchants work in-between cities does actual trade (buy low sell high) of everything in-between
So wars and interventions (banditry, raids, sieges; player clearing out infested trading routes etc.) can and will distrupt or boost the overall logicstics, which could lead into inflations, deflations etc.
You absolutely can play the game as a merchant who doesn’t fight at all and gain power by amassing wealth and influence.
There’s no special UI for trades, except you can find out lucrative business by talking around, running workshops or caravans and leveling up your trade to have UI show what’s cheaper or expensive than average at one point.
If you’re into a merchant roleplay as I do, you can give it a shot. There must be a 2-hr refund time on Steam if you don’t like it :)

I never suspected it has kernel level anticheat since I’m rocking it for the last 2 days on Bazzite Linux without any hiccups.
- Comment on 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames 4 weeks ago:
Fun trivia time!
It’s the beloved economist Yannis Varoufakis himself introduced drop trading and marketplace to TF2, which eventually spread everywhere else.

- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 1 month ago:
Are we talking about Logic or Final Cut here? That’s a strict, plain “no”.
But I would expect somebody would come up with Parallels-like solution now since Windows on ARM is a thing.
- Comment on If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing' 1 month ago:
He did some revolutionary things back then, Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park and Black & White were pretty good. I would say those earlier games were influental to the whole industry, but only if Molyneux dropped dead around 2012. He lived too long to became a joke instead of a legend.
- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 2 months ago:
Well, first I’m not “that lot”, been using Windows since 1997 and will continue to do so because my line of work.
But, I think you can see what’s going on with Android over Google, where there’s not so much “versions” around.
- Comment on Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs 2 months ago:
Yesterday I’ve installed Bazzite (as a dual boot) for the first time. As a long time Windows user, Steam Deck convinced me lots of previous problems are solved now.
It’s the first ever I’ve installed a Linux Desktop distro willingly. And so far it’s working very, very smoothly even with my complex set of hardware.
WINDOWS USERS: Installling Bazzite is very, very easy. All you need is a some disk space, and a 16gb USB stick. You won’t lose any of your Windows data - even you don’t need to re-download any Steam game! Your Windows library will plug-in easily into Linux Steam.
Follow this guide and you’ll be grand: youtu.be/JxPsKhJGTrs

So how did your experience is going with lenses? Do they help you with self-diagnosing so far?
- Comment on How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help) 2 months ago:
Well…
One thing is you can’t know if a ‘game idea’ is a good one before battle test it.
On one hand it’s similar to writing a book or shooting a movie. Sometimes most mundane narratives have something that ‘clicks’, making it a hit. And sometimes most interesting ones have bad execution, to become instant failures.
On the other hand, of course there are some understanding about ‘what is entertaining’ and ‘how to make things fun’. There are lots of discovered rules, tropes, approaches that worked so far. Like, Game of Thrones books always meant to be a cash cow TV series, and you see traces of almost all the rules that makes a book a good TV material. So there are many sources about narrative and game design that can guide you through your journey.
Of course the concepts discussed in these sources aren’t definitive and open to interpretation. But they helped me dearly exploring ideas and increase the value of gamers experiences.
Some I can recommend are,
-
Art of Game Design (Jesse Schell): It comes with a deck of cards which is very valuable for self-feedbacking.
-
The Game Narrative Toolbox
-
How Games Move Us
So one thing I must press here, is that there’s no relation between how ‘good’ your game is and how much it sells. One giant problem the industry’s passing through is ‘discoverability’
I offer some professional services about how to reach out to your niche. DM me if you’re interested.

Excellent?.. Well, your experience might be different but I just checked, even though I clocked way more at BL3, I don’t remember an inch about it. I remember lots of details and fun moments about BL1 and BL2 though.

It doesn’t have Hot Seat either. I instantly refunded when I realized that. How the hell a Civ game have multiplayer but not hot seat?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 2 months ago:
The peak of my career also was definitely when we crashed Steam for a few hours during our EA launch - even though the Steam devs were prepared.
I’m also really happy that Silksong is getting so much love from players. The team behind it truly seems to deserve it.

ZA/UM’s toxicity really on par with the Detective’s worst behavior.
- Comment on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™: The Order of Giants - Launch Trailer 3 months ago:
It was a surprisingly decent game which kept up its quality until the end. Devs could able to capture Indiana Jones feeling all around. I’m sure DLC would be fine again.

Keep your hopes down. The project has been restarted 4 times and lastly handed over to a small studio in a turmoil with no experience in the genre.

So you’re not asking for Linux support, but custom dedicated server support?

Linux users are no users if a game is brimming with cheaters. Who the fuck plays a competitive multiplayer game full of cheaters only because it runs on Linux?
