Eisenhans oh OK, fair enough. I didn't look into it too much to be honest, just seems like a weird problem for them to have left standing for so long.

Yeah, I know, that is the annoying issue. Linux support is clearly stated on their site, so I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work for non-C2 applications - the issue is probably C2's features/implementation of NW. So, I fear that we'll go years with neither party really taking any responsibility for getting it fixed.

The issue here is not whether Linux export is 'worth it', it's the fact that part of C2's advertized functionality is broken and in need of fixing.

A web version is not viable for a variety of reasons, Steam being the main one.

There are of course better things to worry about, but you seem to be the only one who thinks it's not a concern.

For instance, Humble Bundle won't even take your game if it doesn't support Linux. There's definitely demand there.

I'm not sure - you can check twitch.tv/indiemegabooth and go into the recordings.

newt Linux is a considerably higher portion of the gaming market. It's not a question that Linux is worthwhile especially since Valve has embraced it as 'The future of gaming'.

Yes indeed, this is very disappointing. Scirra really should be looking into this...

Sorry we were a bit disorganized today - next time I'll hopefully have something better planned out!

So as I'm getting closer to release, I'm getting more nervous about the linux situation - more specifically, Node-Webkit's Linux export. From what I've heard, it simply doesn't work on the majority of linux machines. Is this true or am I misinformed?

If this is true, something really needs to be done about it as more 'big games' are made with C2. Linux is a small market but they are a passionate community and I cannot continue advertising my game as being linux compatible if it simply doesn't work.

Is something being done about this issue? Or am I simply misinformed and Linux NW export works fine?

Thanks!
