Road Defense: Outsiders action roguelike game plans for a Linux port with Windows PC. All thanks to recent details from solo developer Minicactus Games. Working to release a Demo soon on Steam.
Road Defense: Outsiders Protect the cars on the road! Equip your towers and improve your skills to defend the lawless roads. There are hordes of criminals trying to kill you and destroy the cars. These also get bigger and bigger as the level progresses.
In Road Defense:Outsiders, drivers who manage to cross the territory pay you a fee. Use the money you receive to invest in new weapons and upgrades for defense towers. Collect orbs in the scenery to improve your own skills. Build a solid strategy to save lives in this lawless territory.
This is the premise behind the game. But according to the recent Minicactus Games email, Linux is in the picture.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to generate a build for Linux until the demo is released. But I hope to make it to the full game release.
Road Defense: Outsiders is developed with Unity 3D. So this means there is a good chance the Demo will run via Proton. But we may or may not see a Linux build for that Demo. Although, it’s certainly a pleasure to see that the full release will have a Linux build. But first, check out the carnage in the trailer below.
