I second an HTML5 version and ensuring it works on the Steam Deck, pretty please. :D

~Big Stone Cree ( but hey, I learned a bit when I dated this Lakota / Cherokee girl! ;)
Double points for the Steam Deck. What inspired you to learn the Lakota language? You think that you will be able to connecting more easily with the Lakota Nation?
Can you create a web build? I am not able to view it on my Mac- due to my institutions security settings. I was wondering if you think it would be a nice idea to also make a Dakota version? Our institution is in the Traverse des Sioux area in Minnesota and given the historic lands we are on, if there are Dakota who are interested that could be something great to do, and educational to the community here.
A Dakota version? do you have access to the park at all times?
