1. Though it runs pretty great in WINE a Linux native version would be much appreciated. This is a type of game Linux users would love!
2. the screen seems to be cut off for me, might be my not normal aspect ratio of 21:9 but the command line towards the center gets cut off, and after I launch buddy sim I hear things being printed but the screen remains blank, thinking its above my line of sight. Couldn't get any farther than that because I'm guessing there's some options I need to choose from but I can see what they are to choose.
Excited to see if these (mainly the 2nd one) can be fixed, because this seems like a really cool and interesting game that you don't see a ton of anymore.
Can confirm that the cut off of the text seems to be due to aspect ratio. When I ran it on a more normal 16:9 screen it worked great. Also can confirm it works great in WINE as I was able to get through the entire game. Overall great experience.
Hi Pyro57! We were just about to respond. Yeah, the game was built for a 16:9 ratio, but we'll look into changing that for the final version of the game. Thanks so much for pointing that out. So happy to hear it works on WINE too. Glad you enjoyed! :)
I recently played your game "A Game About Literally Doing Your Taxes" and I loved it! I also made a video on that game and posted it to that games page.
If it is possible, I'd love to do a YouTube video on this game too and post it here, but only with your permission.
Just decided to experience this with a friend, and I must say, that we really enjoyed the demo. It kept us on our toes for the entire demo, and I believe for this to be a very promising game. Keep up the good work.
Hi there sinlost! Thanks so much for pointing this out. After looking into it, we have just realized it's most likely because the main terminal screen uses the file location where the game is extracted. This may cause an anti-virus program to not trust Buddy Simulator 1984 since the game is reading a file location. The game itself is a bit experimental and does some things that might break a few rules purely for narrative reasons. We promise this project is nothing more than a game, but we can understand why anti-virus software might get nervous. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
I love the old style text games. Great job. I just realized your the creators of The game about literally doing your taxes. Keep up the good work, starting to make a name for yourselves

Hi Suikoi! Thanks so much for discovering this. We'll get that fixed immediately. Glad you enjoyed!

Have a nice day!

Hi Kimmy! Of course! We love seeing peoples reactions to our games and will definitely be looking out for your video.
Thank you so much for allowing me to do a video on your game! I'll hopefully get it up in the next few days :D

Cylance and Jiangmin detect this game's file to be unsafe and possess Trojan.Generic.dckeg
