I haven't played in few years now, but wasn't there some big change or update in that direction last year or so? Or has it gotten worse again since then?

The article should have explained what is open-source and what is not. I assume the driver itself is still not open source

Quoting: JuliusNice to see that their codebase and build process for Linux is not some obscure afterthought and should be relatively easy to maintain in the future.

The game itself is sadly a bit meh and while there is some experimental multiplayer support, it seems like the overall engine design doesn't really lend itself to expanding that further.

Would be nice though if someone took that awesome procedural animation system and made a library for Godot out of it or integrate it with Blender or so.

The game itself is awesome (and by game I mean the engine), have you never tried the editor mode? You can do a lot of things there way easier than on a normal engine
