Thrive is a free, open-source game about the evolution of life. From the lowly tidepools of your home planet, you will rise to cosmic dominance. At every step, powerful creation tools and deep simulation mechanics will aid your species’ developmen...
C# runs cross platform. Unity3D with C# runs cross platform and Gadot as cross platform.
.NET 6+ (and 8.X is current) is fully compatible with Linux.
Nobody’s depending on .NET framework <4.X anymore. Nobody. That’s the version of .NET you’re thinking of that’s locked into windows. Anything built with .NET Core, or .NET 6 or higher is fully cross platform.
10 years ago you’d have been correct, but a lot changes in a decade, and a lot of your understanding is currently no longer accurate.
C# is mainly windows though, even though .NET core is not OSS.
And what if they require the whole .NET framework. That makes it a Proton only game. No Linux builds.
Makes the OSS kinda useless to me, unless I want to rewrite it

Additional reading for the roadmap from the Gadot team.
They’re using Mono with a plan to move to .NET 5 (the merger version between .NET Core and .NET Framework) and then on to .NET 6+.
In the meantime, Mono is fully cross platform and has no dependencies on windows components. The Mono team became the .NET Core team at Microsoft.
ooo
outdated indeed
Guess I should learn some C#
It’s a ton of fun. 🙂 I mean that. It makes programming fun vs C++. I think you’ll really enjoy it is that’s where you’re coming from.
It’s also, stylistically, much cleaner and slicker than Java
IDK man, I do C++ nowadays and sometimes I miss C.
Hah, I understand. I miss the simplicity of C often.
But give C# a try, I was pleasantly surprised.
