Hi folks,
We are very excited to announce that DemonCrawl has officially made its way onto the Linux operating system!
We have decided to celebrate by running a 25% discount on DemonCrawl for the entire week, starting right now!
If you're on Ubuntu version 16 or later, you can launch DemonCrawl from the Steam client and everything should "just work." That said, some players have informed us that the game also works great in other distros with a bit of elbow grease.
(Note - Ubuntu is the only flavor of Linux we officially support at this time, but you can always reach out to us at [email protected] for help getting the game to work in a different environment.)
Other news
Not a Linux player? Don't worry - we are working hard to bring DemonCrawl to all major platforms. We can confirm at this time that the Mac and iOS ports are up next. :-)
We are also in the process of externalizing all game strings for ease of translation. DemonCrawl has somewhere around 8000 unique lines of text, all of which need to be moved to external JSON files so our translation team can do their thing. About half of the work has been completed - item names, descriptions, stage mods, and much more are already loading through external JSON. We hope to have the rest of it done in the next month or so.
Finally, we're cooking up a pretty large content update that should be ready by the end of the week (slated to enter Beta by Thursday or so)... we may post some spoilers about it in the Discord over the next couple days. ;-)
Hope your week is off to a great start, and we'll talk again soon!
