Quoting: slaapliedjeI am hoping they get into the Debian repos at some point, as you still need to add the OBS repo for it.

Possibly you already know this, but it's packaged (together with goverlay, vkbasalt and mangohud) but currently waiting for a sponsor to upload:

One day soon, I really hope hardware vendors stop shipping with 8GB RAM as a their minimum because so much now just eats ram like it's candy you don't get a lot done with it unless you're willing to really watch everything you use. Apart from that, it seems like a nice unit.

Oh dear yes!

The laptop I'm looking to replace shipped with 8GB of RAM. Nine years ago...

Sad news

We are issuing this press release to bring you some difficult news. We are indeed forced to prematurely end the crowdfunding campaign for the Little Ghost project.

As you know, the world situation has been complicated for some time. In addition, some members of the team have recently experienced even more difficult times related to the Storm Alex which stroke badly our region in October. The aftermath of all of this has forced them to leave the Jolly Roger Productions crew today. Their departure is heartbreaking for the whole team but, beyond our affection for them, it is also problematic for the Little Ghost Project.

We are no longer able to produce it as we had conceptualized it.

Looks like there's been some work on the quartz front, yay!

Also nice to see the fontconfig changes. Not sure how noticeable these particular changes are, but startup time is an issue.

Awesome, like The Typing of the Dead!

Music and video clips needs to be manually converted using a Java tool called jPSXdec [External Link]. Music seems to work, but videos had a couple of issues, case (insensitivity), and of course the dir separator.

Quick patch below. I assume C++ have a rich standard library with something to do proper path concatenation, but I'm too lazy to find out.

There are a lot of different ways to have fun with games!

Quoting: ronnocAny Linux build up yet? I have the original disks, but the release in GH is only an .exe. Would like a native build!

Patch to make it compile, and also amazingly link:
https://pastebin.com/iyGdgzwx [External Link]

Also, it uses premake5 of all things. I mean an alpha build? Come on!

Build instructions goes like:

Install/build premake5
cd src_rebuild
premake5 gmake
make
fun stuff in bin/Debug/

I'm trying, but I doubt anyone has built it on anything but Windows? There's a an unguarded "#include "windows.h" in one place, and lot and lots of little things that seems to trip up gcc on my system but presumably works fine in VS.
