As we said in the previous announcement, a delay was likely going to happen.

On the bright side we've kept the time to a minimum and now have a guaranteed, free and clear, bona fide release date of March 1st next week!

For the Windows users, we hope you'll check out the game come Thursday. We're mega excited for you guys to give it a run.


That being said...

The issues reviewing the Linux version means that version likely won't be available at launch. We're working with Steam to get the review issues worked out, but the delays introduced each time the game is submitted would have pushed the delay a bit too long. We had to split it so we could at least get the Windows version approved.

For reference the game was developed entirely on Arch and Debian Linux. Review issues aside the game runs fine and integrates with Steam same as the Windows version.

For the Linux users, we're working on it. We're big OSS guys and plan to release the NCradle source code GPL bit by bit over the next year. So it's a real bummer we can't get it to you guys on Steam at launch.

We've been working hard to get the final coat of polish on the game before release.

The good news is the game is finished!

The bad news is it will almost certainly be delayed. We had planed a bit of extra time to have the game go through Steam's review process. Unfortunately there seemed to be an issue testing the Linux version.

The fix was some extra communication about the file setup for the game. Unfortunately the process has taken the 2 day review process up to 8 currently, and it's still not completed.

We're working to figure out exactly when we'll be able to release it. Hopefully just a 1 week delay, maybe 2 if we're really unlucky.


Things happen, and this is our first Steam release so it's a learning experience on our side as well.

We apologize for the delay, and we'll be sure to post an update the moment we get out of review.
