My Friendly Neighborhood puppet puzzle survival game has a Linux port on the radar with Windows PC. The brilliant craftsmanship of developers John and Evan Szymanski truly shines in this work. Available on Steam with 96% Very Positive reviews.
A unique new puppet puzzle survival thriller, just released, a fresh out of the oven titled, My Friendly Neighborhood. Your good ol’ innocent puppet buddies from childhood TV, have all gone berserk. Which is all due to evolve onto Linux.
I am happy to report that Linux support is on my radar.
The My Friendly Neighborhood developers have responded via email, revealing that they’re using Unity 3D 2020.1.17f1, an innovative input system, and a post-processing stack for the game. They’re eager to provide a native build once the release storm settles. And while we can confirm robust Proton support, they definitely see the value in a native port.
Now then, our main hero in My Friendly Neighborhood is Gordon, your regular repair guy. He laces up his boots, not knowing he’s about to dive into a pool of complete puppet madness. Gordon’s task is seemingly simple at first – switch off the unexpected broadcast of an old kids’ show, ‘The Friendly Neighborhood’. As a result, he’s about to be in the center of a puppet revolt.
My Friendly Neighborhood once filled up living rooms with laughter, lighting up little faces with its goofy puppet crew. The world loved the edu-tainment it offered, the fun-filled journey it took them on. But alas, with time, the love faded, and a result, the studio had to close shop. The puppet gang has returned for an unscripted encore. This time, they’re far from friendly.
