Hi, After submitting the title for re-review with the Windows version of the game through Proton (as mentioned in the previous news), Demetrios is now reported as fully compatible with the Steam Deck! (NB: My newest game BROK the InvestiGator is also fully compatible) Enjoy :)

Hello, Recently Valve checked compatibility with Demetrios on Steam Deck and I was surprised to see it reported as only just "playable" when the game is supposed to have 100% compatibility with gamepads. It turns out the Steam Deck automatically picks up the native Linux version if there's one, and this version has issues: gamepads don't work correctly and I've got recently some user reports that it has missing libraries on the latest Ubuntu version. Even if I upgraded my project to the latest GameMaker version (which is a technical challenge), I have realized the latest Linux export in GameMaker doesn't support most gamepads (including Xbox) correctly, which is the reason BROK doesn't have a Linux native build either. (although I still made one available on itch.io) On the other hand, the Windows version runs perfectly on Linux with Proton, including gamepads and the Steam Deck. When Demetrios was originally released in 2016, there was no such thing as Proton compatibility. It doesn't make sense to leave a half broken version that I can't really fix, which also causes compatibility issues with the Steam Deck. In the end my goal is to make sure the game runs the best on all machines. If for some reason you exclusively want a native Linux version, I am willing to offer itch.io keys where such version still exists (but may only run on old Linux versions) I have asked for a re-review of the Steam Deck compatibility and will report again after the new results. Best

A big Adventure Games event is coming! My two games "Demetrios" and "BROK the InvestiGator" will be part of it!

Hey, Demetrios players! The Kickstarter for my new game BROK is LIVE! Feel free to support the project and get some exclusive rewards! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cowcatgames/brok-the-investigator In addition, I have released the biggest Prologue patch yet which comes with a brand new movement for Brok - the "spin tail" attack! Check it out!

Hi! After 4 years of work, I'm finally ready to unveil my new adventure game - "BROK the InvestiGator!" And I have a surprise for you... A free prologue is available RIGHT NOW! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1318790
GRAB it, PLAY it, and POST a review on the Steam page! This helps a lot! Oh and wishlist the full game, of course ^^ I hope you'll enjoy it! NB : A Kickstarter for Brok is also coming up! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cowcatgames/brok-the-investigator It should be launched in approximately one week. That should give you time to try the game :) In addition, I have updated Demetrios (Windows version). Nothing fancy but I've finally added the "Chapter select" which is in the console versions. 1.2.2 ---- - Updated Steam Windows version to be on the same technical level as the one on a certain three-letter store. This means DirectX 11 support is now required. (Windows 7 or later) - Disabled automatic "start fullscreen" which caused the game to go full screen then back to window if you choose to play in window mode - Added "Brok" banner on the title screen to let players know about my new game. (I hope you won't mind, I'm making sure all the Demetrios fans get a chance to know about Brok!) - Implemented the "chapter select" option from console versions (warning : not fully re-tested!) Let me know if you have any questions! Fabrice

With the upcoming release of OS X 10.15 Catalina and Ubuntu 19.04 which require 64 bit builds, I have updated Demetrios so it keeps running on these systems. This required me to switch the project to GameMaker Studio 2.0. The Windows version is not concerned and has not been changed to avoid any compatibility issues. Also, I'm having good progress with my new game in development codenamed "Project Brok"! This is a huge, very ambitious adventure game mixing genres in never-before-seen ways. The game script and programming are already "complete" (meaning the game can be played from start to end, but with rough art / placeholders) A few playtesters have already finished it and loved it! It took them between 15 and 20 hours to complete it on first playthrough. (see what I mean by "huge"?) Although a very different tone, fans of Demetrios should definitely look forward to it! I've been working hard on Brok full time for the past 3 years (simultaneously with console versions of Demetrios). I'm hoping to announce the game as soon as I can focus on the art and show near-final screenshots, most likely early next year. Feel free to join my new Discord server for regular news and to follow this project more closely! https://discord.gg/WRaJAk5 Also be sure to follow me on my Twitter where I post almost-daily updates, such as when I'm dev-streaming the game! https://twitter.com/COWCATGames Here is a progress chart of its development :

Demetrios is now available on consoles! :) In addition to the PS Vita version last year, it has been released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One today! Thank you very much to everyone who played and supported the game, especially on Kickstarter, to make this possible :) I'm currently working on a brand new project, which is a very ambitious and unique adventure game blending several genres together. It will take a few years to make, and I'm not ready to announce it yet, but be sure you'll be kept informed!

Yes, now you can choose to play Demetrios without any "toilet" jokes! Some players didn't like this aspect of the game, so I've decided to offer them an alternative in order to enjoy the adventure. When starting the game, you will now be offered three choices : play the game "as intended" (same version as before), with less "toilet" jokes, or without any. This also adds to the replayability of the game! This update also adds a brand new music track to Nogo! There were only two music tracks in this part, so the soundtrack could be considered a bit repetitive. This should help! Finally, Demetrios is now fully translated into Russian! Thanks to Tolma4 Team, a translation group who did a great job on this :) This is a major update, it took a while to prepare (new translations required for the new text, altered graphics and sounds...) so I hope you enjoy it!

The Steam summer sales have started, and you can get my recently released adventure for 10% cheaper! If youve already got the game, you might be interested in getting the artbook (which compares the final game with the 1999 version) and the OST for a reduced price too (less than $2!)

- Fixed error message coming up occasionally when saving - Fixed issue with the save menu being black when we're in the vault - Fixed bug when going to the menu when we're on the vault closeup - Fixed broken glass appearing in the museum when coming back for the last time, even though the broken glass didn't appear when playing as Sandra - Minor French text correction

- Fixed game slowdown / crash in chapter 3 occurring on some low-end computers when combining items in the inventory. This happened due to the game redrawing the inventory at each frame after combining an item, only when the inventory had a lot of items (in which case the inventory is divided into two parts to avoid big texture pages that wouldn't work on old computers) It caused massive slowdowns and sometimes freezes or crashes. This issue wasn't noticeable on more powerful computers.

- Fixed a bug with the postcard choice with Sandra, which could result in either the wrong message displayed or the game hanging at the post-credits scene. - Fixed plastic bag picture not showing when right clicking in the inventory - Added missing dialog when calling Tom outside of Dumoulin when we need his help - Small French text correction

FIXED : A few users reported a crash after displaying "Chapter 1". I have investigated the issue and it happened during the auto-save. The integrity check done for save files caused the game to crash on some computers. It wasn't really necessary so I've deactivated this integrity check. Now the game should work for everyone :) More specifically : the md5_file() function within the Game Maker Studio library caused the crash.
