I'm running it on linux. The game looks amazing honestly.
At first I got the permission denied issue. But I just used `chmod u+x` the files and that solved it.
The game started, but it has no sound for some reason. I run it from the terminal as in typing `./ShardsofGod`. Nothing peculiar about the output. Perhaps these 2 lines?
> Unable to init voice pack 'speech.vox', file not found or of unknown format.
> audio.vox found and initialized.
Turns out at least for the copy I downloaded from itch, "Shards_of_God_Linux_v1.2.zip", I needed to unmute the sound on the main menu.
I use Arch btw.
