Quoting: LNXfor killing native linux games development
It might, but it haven't happened yet.

Check the stats for native releases by year on Steam. It's pretty constant, even with the arrival of Proton.

Quoting: Cyba.Cowboy"Added support for laptop privacy screens."

What exactly is a "laptop privacy screen"?

They only ones I've ever heard of or seen are those things you physically stick to the display... But I don't know why you'd need software support for that, so obviously they're referring to something else here.
Yeah that is odd.

There are actually built in privacy screens in some laptops, HP SureView for example. But it doesn't seem to need any sort of driver support (it's a pure hardware feature).

Not really any conflict. It's SOP for engine recreations.

Edit: Just so there's no confusion: the "free" in fheroes is the same free as in Free Software [External Link]. It doesn't refer to price.

Quoting: frykBut what I never want to go back to, is having to read all that conversation on screen. Voice-Over please :-)

Quoting: wit_as_a_riddleI wish they would do pixel graphics
Maybe I'm the only one, but I quite liked the style in Curse. The graphics, Murray, and the voice acting was probably the best parts of the entire game.

So I'm looking for my pants... in other words I'm running around in my undies all day long? This does sound like a game for me!

Quoting: Guest
Dropped support for RPi4.arm
Does anyone know what this means? It's not that they dropped support for the Raspberry Pi 4, right?
Probably just dropping support for the 32bit build?
