BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION game is an isometric adventure incoming for Linux beside Windows PC. Thanks to feedback from developers THE BROTHERHOOD. Due to release soon on Steam and GOG.
The Brotherhood is a leading adventure game developer. Also the creators of critically acclaimed STASIS and CAYNE. Both games have Linux support. While announcing that their next release, BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION. Due to launch on February 26th, 2020 on Windows PC. So I reached out for details regarding Linux. Here’s what they had to say.
We used Unity so Linux won’t be a massive undertaking.
Unfortunately, we will need to redo the video player. As the one we use now doesn’t have a codec for Linux.
Unity has really shoddy video playback. So we needed a third party system to get it done correctly.Other than that it is just a matter of testing the game. And making sure it plays correctly on the platform.
Linux will come a little later this year.
Clearly, BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION is already planned for Linux. While it should be no surprise to see Unity being used for development. Despite some issues with video playback. We are keeping fingers crossed for a resolution before the launch date. Since the game looks amazing. Check out the trailer below.
