Hey Ruya Fans!
We're excited to share a little behind the scenes news with you: we've got our hands on a Steam Deck and we have Ruya: Ascension up and running on it! Seeing our work on the deck has been so cool and we're looking forward for you to experience it yourself!
In Progress
Our dev team is currently fine tuning the game to make sure it's a smooth experience on the Steam Deck. We've been focusing on the following areas for Ruya: Ascension's handheld play:
- Controls: Ruya: Ascension is fully playable with the Steam Deck's touch screen but Jake's been busy working on refining controller support which will in turn cover the Deck's control scheme. We're aiming for a natural and responsive experience with its unique layout.
- Performance: We're testing out different settings to ensure stable experience without sacrificing the visual experience.
- Battery Life: For longer battery life on the Steam Deck Tom has been busy reducing draw calls in materials and batches which will help the to give the game more time on the go!
Next Steps
We'll be focusing on preparing Ruya: Ascension for the Steam Deck Compatibility Review and slowly working through all the requirements to make sure our game meets them all for that oh so sweet green tick next to our game!
It's an exciting time, we’ll keep you posted as we make more progress, so stay tuned!
