Hey everyone, Jazz here!
So... it's been a long while. Here's a quick technical change.
Fixed Issues
Recently it came to my attention (via a friend on Steam), that the demo version of BIRBOUT! wasn't launching on Windows. Turns out, the file paths were bugged when v1.1 went live over a year and a half ago. This also affected the Linux version from what I can gather.
Funnily enough, I didn't even have to re-build the game, and just had to fix a few settings in the build settings and Steam itself!
This has been rectified:
Changes
- Fixed the internal depot to have the Windows executable and Linux executable on the root-level of the folder, fixing the 'executable missing' message.
- Linux: Removed the brackets from internal Steam settings so it points to the executable.
Thankyou!
It's been a while since I even maintained the game, so I was shaking off some serious rust and had to bust out an old drive with the game on it. I had to update my build scripts and everything but it was super fun going through the drive and seeing all of the old development work I did on the game!
No changes have been made to the full version of the game, as I verified no issues were present, even testing the Linux build of BIRBOUT! on my machine just then.
Special thanks to the BIRBOUT! community on Element! Y'all helped out a lot!

Enjoy the (i guess grand re-opening of the) free demo build of BIRBOUT!
