Prepare your builds!

Hey! Just a friendly reminder to get your build tools ready. Get your Unity build support packages, download your Godot export templates, prepare your UE4 pain and suffering, test your Cargo crossbuilds, dust off your CI pipelines.

A few of us will be running Linux - possibly more than 2 of us - and that number is slowly increasing, helped undoubtedly by the publicity around Steam Deck (I got one!). So I think it makes sense to try and see if you can export your stuff for Linux. If you work in Godot or Unity, it's likely just a few button presses. Unreal users, well, best of luck. HTML5 builds are of course nice, but remember that they don't always run all that well, so for some players, the experience in your game might end up sub-par.

If you'd like to make sure that your Linux export works fine ahead of the jam, feel free to message me via any of the methods in my profile!
