We have just been informed that Charlie Murder passed all the certification tests, and is now officially Verified for Steam Deck!
The game runs exactly as you would expect it to - it's the same native Linux version we've been shipping on Steam since day one, and includes the latest and greatest compatibility work from FNA. Work has started to migrate to Vulkan by default to fully maximize energy efficiency, but for now we've found that the game still runs great with the existing renderer.
In case you missed it, here's what it looked like when we ran the game locally on the devkit some time ago (along with a bunch of other titles).
Valve has not fully opened up the certification process just yet, so Dishwasher and Salt will have to wait a bit longer. It's possible that The Algorithm(TM) will pick them up, but we won't know for sure until they e-mail us about it.
Thanks to everyone for their continued support, and we hope you enjoy the game in its new, portable form!
It’s a punk rock apocalypse! Team up with your friends to lead embattled punk rock band Charlie Murder in their epic quest to save the world from rival death metalers Gore Quaffer and their legions of evil.
