Quoting: Linuxeryes i edited the post now and downloaded and extracted but got even more confused

Yeah, so a binary Linux release is still on the TODO:

"In addition, a Flatpak/snap (or similar) package is planned for version 1.10, alleviating the need to manually compile the project. If you don’t want to compile the code, it might be better to use Windows for now or wait for version 1.10."

Quoting: Linuxerok so the packages here https://github.com/luciusDXL/TheForceEngine/releases/tag/v1.09.100 are

TheForceEngine-v1.09.100.zip 7.8 MB 2023-02-16T19:55:02Z
Source code (zip) 2023-02-16T19:48:03Z
Source code (tar.gz)

but which one do i choose?? the top one is much smaller than the others? why is that? the size is also not indicated on the "source code" ones either? (but they are larger size) why is this? is it some sort of "light version" or what?

what exactly do i do with all this?

The first one is Windows binaries.

Sourced code almost always takes more space than a compiled binary.

Slow down guys, you're going to run out of new customers in a mere 265 years!

Quoting: KlaasThe list of supported games contains two items that hurt:

1) Red Faction II: What a bland game and horrible sequel to a fun game. The first one isn't without flaws, but it has good moments.

2) GTA 3: I'm still very annoyed with the way re3 was handled – probably only to promote the cheaply made remaster.

Are you by any chance working on a merge request for D8VK where it detects bad games and refuse to run them?

Possibly using AI? (D8VK judges the game and if it's bad it goes Yeah, As If!)

Love the little achievement in the article!

Now, to celebrate with (no lie) cake and a (Steam-ing) cup of tea!

It took me 31 minutes to beat the demo, I died 23 times, or about once every 80 seconds.

The full game might need a higher difficulty level, because that's way above my usual average for platformers...

Sounds like the plot might take a little bit of inspiration from the Discworld book Mort. Not a bad idea at all, so on the wishlist it goes!

2TB, nice! That means I can store eight Call of Duties!

Tea drinkers and hell-raisers!

The VR stuff... Deckard does sound promising. At least if Valve have learned from the Deck and (what not to do) with the Index. Let's hope GoL is on the shortlist for a unit at release time!

QuoteThe combat, especially melee, felt quite poor and hard to judge when you're going to actually hit something.

The original System Shock have the same problem. Not a feature I personally would preserve but I don't work at Nightdive...
