Or do you keep a few Windows/Mac PCs lying around?

You know, just in case you need to run an app/game that only works perfectly on Windows/Mac and WINE/Proton wouldn’t run it?

Been thinking of Linuxifying my Laptop eversince I enjoyed Linux after defecting to it (from Windows) in my main PC (a Desktop).

    And then when you join a Server your client will upload your skin to the Server and distribute it amongst all the other players.

    What if only you wanted to use that particular skin? Like, a personal skin of some sort.

    Maybe he first wants to finish all of Deltarune and then think of a Linux port. Since I’ve heard that Ch. 2 was the last “episodic” release and now he’s working until the rest of the game is 100% done.

    Is that so? Gonna take some years to bundle all of it up into one game then. (One entire chapter took a year for Toby to make and release, imagine trying to make the remaining 5, bundling it up with the first two and releasing it as a standalone game. To me, it’ll take at least 5-7 years to complete everything. Who knows if the Deltarune Community would even be alive by that point. I’d expect most to grow out of it or be interested in other media/games.)

      The skins mod that I had has them all in a directory on the Server side and you can either make them global or if you prefixed them with player_ followed by the player’s name something like player_peter83_coolskin.png then only that player (peter83) could use the “coolskin”. The only piece missing here is a mechanism that automates the upload of the skin texture to that directory on the Server and for the Server to name the file appropriately.

      Maybe. I think by now he probably has most of the assets and game figured out. But who knows. Personally I’m open to it regardless of how much time passes. I feel like even if the community as we know it now ceased to exist by the time the full game is out, then people would probably come back to play it.
