No, it’s totally fine to ask that here :3 Sorry it’s taken me a while to reply. I’ve not had a chance to go on my PC cos the run-up to Christmas has been so jam-packed >.<

Unfortunately, I haven’t ever been able to make a guide like that for Linux because I don’t tend to get much feedback from Linux users :( I know that some people on Linux systems have managed to play some of my games because a few have commented to say they enjoyed them.

On the other hand, I’ve also had comments from Linux users saying they managed to play stuff from start to finish, but there were small issues with the GUI, like the cursor appearing too small or too big on their system even though they can see from YouTube videos and stuff that it’s fine on Windows >.<

But yeah, I don’t think anyone has ever said what steps they have had to go through to actually get the games to launch :(

I’m so sorry that I can’t be of more help! I don’t own a Linux or know anyone who has one, so I have no idea how to troubleshoot stuff like that if folks online don’t bestow the knowledge upon me T_T

If you can get the itch.io game launcher on Linux, there’s a chance that might help! But I have never even downloaded that on Windows to check out how it functions, so I don’t know how you download and launch itch games through that itch launcher >.<

Hope you get to have happy holidays + a happy new year! And thanks for your interest in the project :3

That's kind of the problem, its through the app and for some reason, there is an error when I try to send in a report that keeps that from being sent to support.

I am the one who should be apologizing for dragging the problem to you right before Christmas, a time when your probably having a lot of stuff to do,

I made a post on the forums where I tried to get an idea on what is going on. I might consider trying to get help from one who might figure out what is going on, mainly due to the idea what I can't copy , paste the error I see and don't know much about tech. I don't want to post the link here because it sounds like your pretty busy , so you can ignore this.
