Please don't link to this repository

We understand you want to help people run An Anime Game on Linux. The issue is, the more people know of the tools involved in it, the higher the chances The Anime Game Company will notice them, and then fix the flaws that let us do the needful.

While sharing in your self-managed chat services and through private messaging is fine, we humbly ask that you refrain from publically sharing links to this repository, or to any of the tools involved.

Or share them and ruin it for the dozens of Linux players. It's up to you.

If you're going to share it anyway

Do what you must, but we would respectfully request that you try to label the game as "An Anime Game" instead of the actual name of the game, to avoid search engine parsing.

Flatpak support

To install the launcher via flatpak you will first have to make sure that you have flathub's remote installed

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

After installing flathub's remote you install launcher.moe's remote

NOTE: You can install the repo on a per user base by appending --user after --if-not-exists (This is especially useful if on Steam Deck)

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists launcher.moe https://gol.launcher.moe/gol.launcher.moe.flatpakrepo

Now the only thing remaining is to install the launcher

flatpak install launcher.moe com.gitlab.KRypt0n_.an-anime-game-launcher

Some additional configuration is possible when using the flatpak. For info about this, see this page

Chinese version

To use Chinese version of the game make sure that you have

server: cn

field in your config.yaml file (settings -> launcher folder). If your system uses the Chinese language - then it should be selected automatically. If not, then close the launcher, replace server: global with server: cn, and run it again. After that launcher will download the Chinese version of the game and the patch

Status

Game version	Launcher version	Patch version
3.2	2.4.1	3.2 stable ✅

We have our own An Anime Game discord server where you can ask any questions
