Joysticks/controllers should work out of the box with Linux, at least they do here. I'll double check for you.
I can certainly add an option to save your screen mode. I played it loads on my big tv when i was developing it. It's great with the sound up and the lights down!
I've squished a lot of portability issues by using the steam runtime (it's on github) to build against. They've made a pretty decent job of using only very common libs, and anything they don't include you can package up with your game.
This gets around the deb/rpm thing for my stuff at least.
I've just released my new game, Son of Scoregasm here on itch. Game page is here: Son of Scoregasm
It's a fun shooter that i released on PS Vita earlier in the year and tricked out a bit for PCs (Mac, Windows and Penguins).
Here's a video:
During the end of development i used some of itch's refinery stuff (butler etc.) to get the game out to testers. I'm really, really impressed with how well it works. It really helped to have the ability to iterate and push builds from the scripts i use to build/package the game. It's save literally days and possibly weeks of faffing around. Combined with all the useful stuff for sales/key distribution/customer contacts/etc. it's a great platform. Full marks, itch! Keep up the good work.
Right, so i think i've fixed the resolution changing bug. It appears to have been an SDL thing, as updating it seems to let me change res correctly. It might also fix the maximum resolution thing you're seeing @MageMaster.
I'm not sure what's going on with the resolution thing you're experiencing. The game uses SDL2 to open windows and provide information on what resolutions are available, so i guess i'll take a look there. Does the game show the resolutions found in the terminal output?
