They are moving away from using X11 directly to SDL abstraction, which allows it to work on other backends such as Wayland.

Looks cool, but I wish it had a single player mode. I have too short of an attention span to get really good at one particular game, and that often means getting totally destroyed in online games.

Quoting: minjArrows/daggers blowing barrels up? Makes me cringe so bad it dissuades me from even considering it
