I tried running the nw Linux binary on Arch Linux, but it gave me:
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 5: unknown element "description" Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf", line 4: unknown element "description" ...
[4266:4266:1210/172418.288268:FATAL:platform_font_linux.cc(83)] Check failed: InitDefaultFont(). Could not find the default font #0 0x7f9c84f0143c <unknown>
It turns out, the fontconfig syntax changed a few years ago, which broke older versions of nwjs. To fix this, all you need to do is download the latest version of nwjs, extract the archive, and replace all of the libs/other files in lilacgame with the newer nwjs files. Then, it'll just work when you try to run nw again.
And so, I got to play lilac & her light!
It was the first npckc game I played in English, though that's only because it didn't have a Japanese option, heh. It had a nice message and I enjoyed it. The soundtrack was pleasant too.
thank you for figuring this ut! unfortunately i am not quite sure how to do that on my end to fix the build, but i am going to research it and try to create a new build.
I'm guessing the version of nwjs is bundled with RPG Maker MV, and that you need to update it by updating RPG Maker MV itself...but it hasn't received any new updates for a few years.
> Fortunately, RPG Maker MV uses an unmodified copy of NW.js as its runtime for desktop deployment, which means it’s pretty easy to update it manually! The process isn’t really different between development OS, so I’ll go through it target by target.
The process is essentially the same thing I did on my end, with a few more steps. The post recommends deleting files, but all I did was copy some files over and replace older files with the same name and I had no issues playing the entire game.
Also, disclaimer that I have no idea what I'm doing :) I haven't touched RPG Maker since XP, and I never ended up making a game with it, lol.
Stories regarding friendship, magic and overcoming your fears will always have soft spot in my heart and this little game really hit all the marks!!! It was short, it was sweet and it was comforting. The art was really cute and fit well with the game. Loved it and thanks for making it!!! <3

Once again this was an extremely sweet game : )
It was amazing ! I loved it so much!!
This is the most comforting, sweet little game I have played in a while! I love it so much.
After completing this game, I am so emotional. Really cute game and a very sweet game too. This game was short, consisting with magic.
