Azusa RP Online is 2D massively multiplayer RPG strategy coming to Windows game, but what about Linux? Well according to recent news, the servers all run on Linux. Plus we have details about the coming Steam Earl Access release.
Since Azusa RP Online gives off a very indie vibe. The gameplay caught my attention. So I reached out to developer Inutaishos, here’s what the studio had to say:
“Toward the engine, its a very old engine called BYOND. However byond was rebuilt recently. And covers alot of needs to Azusa development. Mainly towards making the game’s main idea, the Roleplay Driven style possible and easier to manage.
Only problem toward BYOND is that its limited to Windows only. BYOND Linux versions can only run servers and not clients; (which is a pain). So Azusa is limited to windows/PC.”
Since this is not the best news. The fact that Linux is in the mix is positive. Mind you the point of this post, I want to see how Azusa RP Online will work via WINE or Proton. I’m sure Steam Play will be a delicious workaround. But that is entirely unconfirmed. While the gameplay itself definitely looks good.
