Wooah, I can't believe it took me so long to get around to this one. The idea is fun enough, but the execution was very impressive. I was grinning a lot.
Nice to see that you're still making interesting indie games. I remember finding Within A Deep Forest and Kyntt Stories maybe like 2 decades ago and man I loved both of those games to death. Those games, and by extension you, will always have a special place in my heart.
Sorry for the spam, but maybe in this channel I would get Nifflas read this comment... I discovered his work with Knytt Underground (I played on Wii U demo version), I remember perfectly that I played at night and after giving it a try the next day I kept with the intrigue about the full version... I went to work, and during the day I looked at his previous work... and I just kept interested more and more for the game. When I got home, I bought the game, and basically my Wii U was a console just to play Knytt. After that I discover Affordable Space Adventures (WiiU), then Uurnog (Switch), Siria (PC) and Ynglet (Xbox).
This week I played Crypt Custodian, an indie game with a kind of nostalgic music and strange scenarios, playing this game, I remembered that I would love to play Knytt again (I know there is a version on Steam, and I tried to play it on Steam Deck, but the experience is not the best)...
...and checking the itch page, looks that all the previous games kept in the past. I would love to see a native version of Knytt on Xbox / PS / Switch (Specially for Xbox, where I keep all my library and the games have achievements... I especially remember that I left a lot of missing things after beating the game and the save game was lost).
If the author reads this, I totally get that you are doing other things, and you are focused on more interesting things now. I just want to let you know that the fandom of Kyntt is still alive. Regards!
I totally understand! But it's totally OK if it's not in an particular bundle. This is the game we wanted to make, and I wouldn't really want to change it for that :)
Yeah, it's probably because Unity uses the operating system's video API to read the video, so Wine would need mp4/H.264 support. I'll make a Linux build one day if I get the time to allocate to learn installing and building on Linux. I've been unsuccessful the past times I tried some Linux distros (driver compatibility issues every time), but it might work on my new PC?
I've had a great experience with compatible drivers out of the box using Ubuntu (not the coolest distro, but very smooth). Most recently on a Thinkpad. Only thing that didn't work actually was the built-in webcam, but bought a used usb one for very cheap, which works flawlessly.

I must admit I was a bit annoyed by the meta stuff, at times, but the ending was really clever!
And both audio and visuals are really stellar, I love it. :)

Absolutely bloody incredible. Such a unique experience

Not what I expected, but that was indeed very welcomed. Hooked me immediately.
This is an incredibly goofy game, I love it. Had zero clue what I was getting into.
Thank you so much! Yeah, we definitely wanted to make it a surprise!
Did you leave the GameDev Mastodon??
Yeah, sorry! I'm taking a break from social media right now.
Could you send me a profanity-free version?
A version like that is not planned. If the game were rated though, it'd be rated something like 12 for mild swearing at most.
The language doesn't actually bother me, but it gets in the way of me being able to bundle it with other games.

i have played this game when it came out and randomly rememberd it like 3 hours ago
and 3 hours it took to find it
worth it
linux version would be cool, right now executing with wine makes the webcam a black box

+ one for a Linux build :)
