It would be great to get it as a snap !

Looks like a very nice game indeed.

Let’s see if I can make some room on my neverending Snaps-To-Do-List. :slight_smile:

Wonderful! I’m sure many new comers to Linux would rejoice just clicking away to get yet another great free game \o/

Some weeks ago I made a Snap from the Autoupdater executable (‘UnvanquishedUpdater’), however this can not work more than some weeks/months with Snap because the autoupdater wants also to autoupdate itself sometimes (impossible because of the write protection of the Snap itself). I have disabled my Snap from the snapstore.

Maybe it would be possible to make a Snap from the full game package (‘Universal Zip’) but this implies rebuilding a Snap each time the game will get updates (its done like that with its Flatpak package) : too much work for me :frowning: .

Well, if you know what exactly it probes you can use an install hook to copy these bits into $SNAP_DATA and use a layout to map them back into place so they become writable …
