dotAGE News

Hello Elders!

Happy new year! I am happy to announce that dotAGE has passed verification by Valve and now has the Steam Deck Verified badge!

Controller support through Steam Input is complete and working correctly (even to the point of allowing you to rename Pips using the on-screen keyboard), and the latest optimizations helped a lot in bringing good performance to larger villages on the deck (and lower end hardware, by the way).

If you had not been enjoying the game on the deck yet, you have no more excuses if you own one! I heard the new OLED one is quite a cool toy...



Have fun!
