Super cool updates and a dream coming true.
It finally happened. I Got my hands on a used affordable entry steam deck to develop my game for that platform too! Using SteamOS Devkit to run it on the deck. Full-screen windowed, with all settings low, shadows high, 15watt usage and getting from 27-31fps usually (capped at 30fps) crazy excited for all the potential...

How are you getting the watt usage?

Hey there! From inside the steam app, you can press the button with the 3 dots and brings up some options. From there, you are looking for a thunder icon, then scrolling down there is an option "tdp limit" and you can manually adjust it. Currently Im experimenting with the dev kit myself. Hope this helps!
