      Are we planning to release a Linux and Mac version?

      Another question that pops up all the time, and along with this, consoles as well.

      Basically other platforms so that other people can play.

      Currently, there is no plan.

      I think we want to, but there is no plan as in, yeah, we're gonna do it, and we're gonna do it, you know, by this time.

      There's no actual plan.

      The belief right now is we just want to stick to Windows to try and get the game done.

      And by done, I mean also the design of the game.

      It's a hard game to finish, to make sure balancing is right, to make sure the right features are in.

      And if we were to throw other platforms in, that would just throw a wrench in the work.

      It would be harder to continue developing.

      We're going to be running into issues that are platform specific.

      We're probably going to run into build issues.

      Like even though Unreal Engine just works for all the platforms, nothing just works for all the platforms.

      And so that's just going to take time away from completing the game.

      But of course, it would be great.

      Like, I mean, why would we not want to get it on those platforms, right?

      Like, I don't know.

      I assume that we would.

      I don't know.

      I get the feeling that's going to happen.

      This is just me speaking here and not Coffee Stain.

      So like, I don't know the actual decision there, but I'm pretty confident that what I'm saying is shared by the others.

      Will the Steam version game run on Linux, either native or with Proton?
