Happy Steam Deck launch week everyone! I have to say, after a few weeks with my Steam Deck dev kit it's been a wonderful way to close out my evenings with some light gamin' with some of my favorite Steam games like Vampire Survivors and Super Auto Pets. But of course getting a Deck early helped us ensure our games, and most importantly, future games, will be fully Deck compatible!
So what does this mean exactly? Going forward, all of our Steam releases will have 16:10 support, increased save checkpointing (in case you need to jump out of a game for any reason), better text compatibility so that the UI is clear, clean and easy to read on the Deck's screen, and further optimizations!
Here is a list of our currently released games, and the best ways to play them:
- Cook, Serve, Delicious!- runs great, however the text is a little on the small side and therefore cannot be verified. We will take steps going forward that text is in a much larger and cleaner font.
- Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!- runs great, but due to some keyboard command text badges is not verified just yet. We're working with YoYo Games right now to get an updated build by the summer that will remove these icons and text.
- Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!- This does not currently run without opting into Proton. This is due to a legacy Linux bug that prevents gamepad input. Again we're working with YoYo Games to release an updated Linux build sometime soon, but until then, simply go to the game's Properties in the Steam Deck UI, and force Proton compatibility by selecting the most recent stable release of Proton. This forces the game to run the Windows version, which works great.
- ChefSquad- due to the nature of this game requiring Twitch, the game is not playable on the Deck.
- Legacy Titles- games like The Oil Blue, ShellBlast, etc. do not have gamepad support and rely on certain keyboard letters and mouse to navigate. So while a majority of them run, you'll need to remap a lot of the controls to make it fully compatible.
I'm so looking forward to seeing our next big game on Deck, fully supported on day one, and let me tell yah, it's gonna look gorgeous on this thing holy cow. Be sure to follow us on our new secret Twitter account we haven't used or announced yet (don't tell anyone!!) for our new game announcement, coming soon!!
