I'm working on a video game called Astroloot[1], a mix of bullet-heaven and scifi-space ARPG. After two years, I've finally completed the main-campaign and now start with the endgame. Ever since playing Diablo 2, I've wanted to create an ARPG. Have to say, this project brought back the joy of programming for me.

How is it on SteamDeck? I see on Proton there is one review so far that the linux experience is good (and they call it Path of Exile in space which is about the best compliment).

Thank you!

I have a SteamDeck myself and the game constantly runs at 90fps. The game has full controller support, so it is very comfortable to play on Deck.

Well heck yea! I'll be sure to pick it up when I get home this evening! I just moved counties and I dont have my desktop with me yet. So I'm looking for a arpg to play while I miss the latest Path of Exile season :(
