Thanks mod! ๐
It may need some formating though. Add two space at the end of a paragraph, then the line break (I know, markdown is weird sometimes)
Ah yeah fair, hopefully this helps legibility.
It sure does ๐
Because this is Lemmy, I feel like I have to ask, Linux support? Or is it Windows-only for now?
I have it running on Linux and Windows ๐ if there are playtesters for Linux or MacOS I will provide builds for those, MacOS is untested however I'll have to borrow a MacBook from someone :)
Looks great! I'd be interested in the play test but is there a way to get involved avoiding discord?
You're not the first but I'd be more than happy to accommodate the non discorders, I'm currently afk but I will investigate the suggested alternatives and relay back here, do you have a preference of the mentioned alternatives so far?
Iโm a discord hater and low key refuse to join more servers as I try to convince my communities to move to different platforms. Would love to test on Linux for you though. Happy to provide feedback back here or something.
The screenshot is giving a bit of fallout 1 + 2 vibes, which I love.
Fair enough, what kind of communities that would offer a similar hub as discord would you convince others on? I can try relaying back here as I'd appreciate having you testing but it's not ideal I reckon for the purpose.
The most similar and FOSS one is Revolt (revolt.chat).
Matrix, and thereโs a P2P one that just went around called PeerSuite? Both are far from perfect, but at least arenโt yucky corpo platforms. Sorry to come across so harsh in the initial comment, the tone in my head was light hearted I promise lol. More of a โIโm happy to help figure out an alternative communication stream in order to make me a useful tester.โ Might be worth making your game a Mastodon account to direct people to from the Steam page? Could be a good spot to encourage people to learn about the fediverse and provide a channel for updates and a message system for testers? Idk. Discord is somewhat unique still in the type of organizational tools it provides, hence the love-hate relationship I have with it lol
Not harsh at all, I deleted all my social platforms about 5 years ago and so I have like zero presence anywhere, it has been amazing for me personally. But it means I'm totally out of the loop and in a poor position to grass roots market this ๐.
I'll check out those platforms thanks for the rundown. In the meantime if you still want to keep in the loop I don't mind updating you in DM, Id rather have 1 genuinely interested person with good feedback than a million silent followers!
