Hello, I'm from the Portmaster Community! We port PC games to SBC's and Retro Handhelds I want to ask, is it okay to distribute your game as a Ready to Run port in our lineup of Freeware games?

I want to say thank you for finishing this game! You've brought so many smiles to this man. I used to play this game all the time in Highschool. I'm going to let everyone know about all your hard work great job. Also if you're interested in more obscure Handheld Gaming devices please join the RG handheld and Retro Handhelds discords. 😉
Here's a picture of Lyle in Cube Sector running on the RG-ARC.
Dude, I've only expressed my interest in Linux support by asking for it. Then you come in spreading misinformation. Developing games for Linux is no different from developing games for Windows if you use a Game Engine or Game Framework. He's not coding the game from scratch. Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. I'm okay with him not compiling the game for Linux, but that doesn't mean that you should get away with spreading misinformation or talking out of your ass.
"The $25 pays for the game, not the platform."
Paying $25 or more to run a game that's not only a Digital Copy of the game but doesn't run natively on any platform is completely unacceptable.
"Developing for multiple platforms is expensive, difficult, and time consuming, especially when a game only has a single developer, and especially for Linux, with all it's different flavours."
∆This is a completely bullshit argument.
1) He used a Commercial Game Engine, using a Commercial Game Engine not only cuts down on the Time and Labour needed to develop the Game but also makes Compilation work relatively easy. Once you get a stable Windows port (in most cases) it's just a matter of recompiling the game again for Linux. It's not like he coded the game from scratch.
2) Expensive? No, that's why he used an Engine.
3) Yes, there are different flavors of Linux. However it definitely doesn't require recompiling the game over and over again for each Linux Distro. Maybe a Ubuntu and Arch Linux Compilation at most but that's it.
