Question to the devs, permission to upload self built Flatpak version of FNF (Linux) to Flathub

[Pucas01]

This is kind of a Question / idea / show and tell

but im here to ask for permission to upload a version of FNF that i made into a Flatpak to Flathub

Why Flatpak instead of the normal Linux build? its simple, a basic executable in a folder to launch the game in the big 2025 is really outdated in Linux, everything is done with either a package or Flatpak / snap (ew snap) version of the app, executable are NOT! used anymore, and if it is it would be in the form of an app image.

this is why i took the liberty to quote on quote "port" FNF to a Flatpak this would enable the game to be launched thru any application runner aka it would show up in your app overview

Another benefit would be not having to deal with any dependency issues as Flatpaks bundle all used dependency in the Flatpak itself

Another Another benefit would be that the game would be findable and downloadable thru all the "app stores" Linux has like Gnome Software and KDE Discover

So now im here to ask for permission to upload said Flatpak to Flathub to make it available to download , i've attached some screenshots of how it would look :)

Hi guys, there hasn't been a response to this yet but i have been working on it in the background a bit.

Today i finished a build that includes the SDL2-compat lib and the SDL3 lib, why you might ask well its simple.

WAYLAND!!

this build of the game now runs on Wayland instead of the vastly outdated X11, i could've just built an Wayland compatible version of SDL2 but upgrading it to SDL3 seemed like a smart move for better compatibility.

i was hoping this would fix the newgrounds login not working as i thought that was an XDG not working with xwayland thing but that was not the case, i've been looking into it but i haven't figured anything out.

Edit: thanks to hyper I realized I'm really stupid and it's supposed to not work, I didn't realize considering it didn't give any error in the debugger 💔

if anyone wants the build files for fun let me know btw

Newgrounds login requires the API keys to work

Version 0.7.2

This question is probably never going to be answered but i did update the flatpak to version 0.7.2 that just released

And now that we have an official Linux build Newgrounds login finally works!
