Saw one of my old games in the trailer, picked as the "Game of the Day" <3. I'm so glad Flashpoint is keeping old Unity3D web games too, from becoming totally abandonware.

Cool! I had a hunch there'd be Deck users like you :--)
As a hobbyist game dev, I don't mind making games for a niche group of users, but I'm probably going to skip the idea of making games just for the Deck, as there isn't really a platform for that kind of games. And in my case, I'm talking about freeware games; games that won't be making that 5 dollar profit. But still, designing a game with the Deck especially in mind feels like a fun and fresh starting point to me :--)
Yes, the store works so well that I’d guess not too many people bother with the desktop mode. It also works really well for developers, as @[email protected] mentioned, with installing non-Steam games still not too hard for those who really want to, like @[email protected], so I guess there's really no need for any change.
I'll probably just end up developing for devices with gamepads in general. The idea of making a game specifically for the Deck is intriguing, like maybe a shared-controller local multiplayer game, but I guess it's better not to lock the designs too much to the Deck's features, especially since there isn't really a platform to showcase those kinds of games.
Very much looking forward to playing this :—-)
