What's up Pixelmancer fans, Gem here and welcome to update 0.74!

- Added native Linux & Steam Deck support!

Pixelmancer is now fully playable on a Steam Deck!

- Changed the save file system again to support cross-save between Windows, Linux & Steam Deck

This will reset your save progress once again, apologies!

Since Summer 2024, Steam has broke Steam Input controller support for many games which is still not fixed today. Steam Deck was also unfortunately affected which made Pixelmancer unplayable.

Around August 2024, I switched to a completely new game engine (from Godot to Construct 3) and lots of improvements were made on the Windows version of the game. Unfortunately this meant the Steam Deck version via Proton wouldn't launch at all (Not that it even mattered since Steam Input didn't work anyway).

I've spent a lot of time on and off for the past year trying to get a native Steam Deck version to work. Today I'm excited to announce that Pixelmancer supports Linux & Steam Deck natively. No proton or Steam Play required.

Also, Steam Input works on Linux & Steam Deck with the new Linux native version! (Steam Input on Windows is still broken, please use xinput (Xbox Controller) instead)

I would like to thank my friends for testing the Steam Deck version for me as I don't have a Steam Deck for troubleshooting.
