Linux and Stuff

Hi there! We've had a nagging feeling for a while that there was something we forgot to do, and this morning we realised what it was - we'd never officially announced that Binaries is available for Linux!

changedHi there! We've had a nagging feeling for a while that there was something we forgot to do, and this morning we realised what it was - we'd never officially announced that Binaries is available for Linux! Thanks to the keen fans in this discussion we got a Linux build working a while back, and quietly made it available. Since nobody shouted about any major problems that they couldn't work around, we thought we should make it kind of official. Now, if you read that discussion you'll see that we're a tiny dev and that our knowledge of Linux is very limited, so we've not had a lot of different configurations to test on, and even if we did come across issues we wouldn't really know the workarounds you might need to use.

And while we're announcing stuff...

We thought it might be worth mentioning that Binaries is now also available on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, in case you prefer playing this kind of game on a console (I don't know why you would, since the Steam version supports console controllers, but hey we're all friends here).

Reviews

As always, if you enjoy Binaries we'd really love it if you left a Steam review - they're massively helpful for tiny developers like us. Cheers! Tony (An Ant man. No, not that one.)
