I don't have Windows or Mac. Usually I can run games on Linux using Wine, but this one says that the installer can't run as Administrator, and to re-run it as a normal user. This looks difficult to fix. Can you just release the game as a normal zip file like most other itch.io games? Thanks!
I'm not totally sure what you mean by "normal zip file" here. Can you point me to an example of what you're thinking?
I could definitely get you a copy that'll run locally in the browser, if that's what you mean. DM me on Twitter or Discord (same name everywhere) and I'd be happy to pass that on - I'm just hesitant to add it as a standard download here, as saving progress in the browser will be a bit less reliable, so it'd have to come with some caveats.
I may also be able to try a Linux build in the next couple of days. It should work in theory, but I never explored it for the initial release because I don't have a practical way of testing for it and I didn't expect a whole lot of interest there.
Most games here come in an archive, usually a zip file. You extract the archive, and the game executable is inside, along with all the data files. No installation is necessary; you just extract into a folder and run it. Some examples from the Palestinian Relief Bundle: BOSSGAME: The Final Boss is My Heart, YOU ARE A WIZARD, Fostering Apocalypse, Brush Burial... Basically every other game on itch. Just pick one arbitrarily from the front page, and I bet it'll be packaged that way. I think most games are packaged like that because that's what works with the itch app.
I appreciate the support! Thank you!
