Hello everyone!
This is a minor housekeeping update for Linux - the Windows and macOS versions were untouched in this update.
The short version: Valve failed this game for Steam Deck cert because of the Skulls Anywhere login dialog; the service was shut down some time ago so this was no longer supported anyway. I went in and removed the login button and the Skulls Anywhere option in the multiplayer menu, no other changes were made. The game actually works great on Steam Deck as-is!
(For preservation folks: If you want a build with the login button intact, the linux32 branch still has it just in case!)
One known issue that remains from the last version is that Xwayland combined with a high-DPI mode will result in a black screen - for whatever reason multisampling is forced on in Xwayland, which breaks our presentation system (and many others, I would imagine). Thankfully with the SDL2 update you can set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland and get around this with a fully native Wayland window. This will eventually be made the default in a future SDL release, so at some point this will just passively go away. (Also: You can enable specialized high-DPI support by passing /enablehighdpi:1 as a launch argument.)
Thank you for your continued support!
Joystiq says "...we found Skulls of the Shogun to be an absolutely enjoyable experience – so much so that we gave it a perfect score." It's fast-paced turn-based strategy inspired by Advance Wars, and supercharged with fighting-game flare! Enter the Samurai Afterlife and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal monks, and mustachioed samurai generals. And now Skulls of the Shogun tastes even better in the Bone-a-Fide Edition, which adds a brand-new episode, the new Tanuki Monk, and a heaping helping of new features!
