So we set up Roller Drama in order to make it available and running smoothly on the Steam Deck. We first needed to check system compatibility; given that we didn't get a development kit yet, we followed Steamworks documentation Developing for Steam Deck without a Dev-Kit.
For the input, Roller Drama works fine with a controller, so that was fine. For the display, we developed an adaptive system
so that in the case of a relatively small screen, the main contents are shown larger and with bigger fonts. What if you attach your Steam Deck to a big screen? Just go to settings and turn off the "small screen friendly" option \o/
For system support, Roller Drama is also released for SteamOS / Linux, so we make our builds run on Steam set on Manjaro as suggested by Valve:
For performance, again from Settings as shown above you can pick the level of graphical quality, though in our tests, even on High Roller Drama actually runs quite well (no pun!).
And so, here you can see Roller Drama running on the Steam Deck:
So we hope you are adding it now to your wishlist, Roller Drama will be released very early 2023!!!

A SITCOM?!?
In Roller Drama, you (Joan) live with & coach five kickass athletes: Anne, Portia, Lily, Cordelia, and Juliet. Together they form a top Roller Derby team, a full contact sport on quad skates!
Your job is to act as a keeper of the team, managing both their personal and professional lives. Try to balance everyone’s emotions as they navigate rivalries, friendships, and love.
REAL-TIME FULL-CONTACT SPORT!
While personal dramas rage on, you’ll also need to manage Roller Derby matches in real time! Plan strategies, give orders, and manage the match using arcade-inspired controls.
SURVEILLANCE
Roller Drama is set in a dystopian alternative world where things are going… slightly worse than they are here. Political and environmental upheavals interfere with daily life.
