A big thanks to our newest QA tester, David, who confirms he and his girlfriend enjoyed Apolune 2 using the Steam Deck.
David said:
"A video game is such an enormous labor of love and time, one that most who start never complete. How could I not support you? What's more, your game looks genuinely very cool, and the art style is super attractive! I'm looking forward to racking up some hours and I'll be happy to leave a strong review!"
When asked about the Steam Deck experience, David wrote:
"Everything seems to work great on the deck! Perfect environment for the game! If you have an interest in adding French I'd be happy to do the translation work for you. For free, of course!"
We're happy to work with David in the future to produce the French language version of the Store Page and player guide.
Captain Poopypants (of Lost Astronaut Studios) responded:
"Were you able to do 2 player on the deck (is that even viable?) The game really shines when you have 2 or more playing it at the same time using multiple controllers"
David said:
"Yes! 2 player seems to work fine, but you just need to dock it then connect to a TV! I might try it over Steam Play from the deck and see if that works too -- but, so far so good. The benefit of the deck is it allows a lot of on the fly control remapping, so you can mix and match controllers without issue. too."
