Hey guys! I'm currently one half of the two-man team building the indie game: Backspace Bouken. It's a typing first-person dungeon crawler, started as a Ludum Dare 42 game last year. We're planning a release later this year or next year on both PC and Linux, and would love to know what you guys think, as core fans of the traditional games we were inspired by.


Otherwise, you can follow us on:

This looks fun. Any updates on which Linux distributions you're supporting?

To some extent, we'll be hoping to get a better idea of what is working now and what may need to change when we release our demo (coming just in a couple weeks here now). Any Linux distribution that's reasonable and possible to support within the constraints of Unity, we'll do our best to see what we can do.
Thanks!

Hey guys! I've got a lot of updates (which will also reflect in the main post).
Most importantly, we've got a new Beta Demo now available for download on our Steam. Try it out and let us know what you think! It's got a lot of gameplay and polish updates, so should be enjoyable even if you played the original.
If you like the demo, consider wishlisting the game or even joining our new Discord server!
