Reminds me a bit of FTL, minus the turns, plus a designer which if it is half as cool as it looks will be amazing fun. Worth a Windows VM.

- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoI'm curious if Steam Proton could handle this. Few games could tempt me to create and maintain a Windows VM, but I'm already running the Steam client on my Linux boxes.
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoFYI, I just tried this on Ubuntu 19.04 with today's update to the Steam client and using Proton 4.11-4. The Cosmoteer demo installed without any complaints, but seems unable to launch successfully.

In particular, see https://www.protondb.com/app/799600 https://www.protondb.com/app/799600 for help in getting Cosmoteer to start. I'm a huge fan of Lutris these days; community participants wrap the above advice into install scripts, and it's surprisingly common for things to magically Just Work (tm).
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoThanks! I had no idea about Protontricks!
- mLuby 7y agoCheck out Starship Theory on Steam for something close to FTL. Personally I found Starship Corporation (no relation) to be the best ship design "game" I've yet seen.
