Just a quick feedback, I noticed that the steam version of hedgewars does not include a mac and linux compatible clients. I think this would be a great addition for 2 reasons:

1. increase the steam hours on the game
2. Increase visibility for the game when playing

I don't think it should be much trouble considering those versions of the game already exist?

I don't know about Mac, but there is lots of trouble with the Linux version. It requires a custom build that links against some Steam libraries, to ensure compatibility between different distributions. The Steam version maintainer still tries to figure it out.

AFAIK you can play the game using Proton, so it's not really a problem.

You can play on the mac client no problem, but just figured might aswell play while on steam to get some hours in Smile
