Smoothcade co-op arcade game support plans for Linux with Windows PC. Which is the result of the creativity of developer Joseph J. Which is coming to Steam later this year.
2Awesome Studio (2AS) announces they will publish Smoothcade. Which is due to be releasing later this year. The game will be available on Steam, the game page is already live. While offering a cute “clear the screen” modern co-op arcade game. One that features gameplay for 1 to 4 players (shared split screen). Recover the missing golden blend through 100 platform jumping. Including puzzle solving handcrafted levels with a ton of fruity critters.
…we really want to see a Linux release
Since Smoothcade is being developed in GameMaker Studio 2. According to the developer email, the initial release will be on Windows PC and consoles. Then, Linux support will hopefully be in the mix.
But do note, typically GameMaker Studio 2 games have solid support for Ubuntu distro’s. If a Linux build does not work, then Proton support is usually just as good.
