Wait, he's removing the emulator from Google Play? Does that mean he's not supporting the Android version anymore?

Quoting: ShabbyXIs it running on GL or Vulkan? It's very easy to introduce inefficiencies with the Vulkan Swapchain API, so if it's Vulkan and this isn't blowing up in memory or crashing on some drivers due to fence cleanup issues, kudos to Godot!
Considering it was made with Godot 4, it's probably Vulkan.

Free and open source evolution sim Thrive gets big new gameplay features in v0.6.5

This isn't my kind of game but I'm interested to see developers move from Godot 3 to 4. For anyone that doesn't know, Godot 4 came with a major rewrite of all systems, meaning that most projects have to be converted manually. There is a converter but it doesn't catch everything and some behaviours are just different in G4.

What I want to see is if moving to G4 will bring any performance improvements and if it will bring any other benefits. Most projects I know, like DevDuck's Dauphin, transitioned early on in production so seeing a game of this scale transition should be an interesting sight.

Quoting: Liam DaweI am basically a human-book of Linux gaming history at this point.
You should write that book. Seriously, post another editorial/article on how Linux gaming has changed over the years, I'd love to read it.

Quoting: CatKillerI'm plenty nice.

Perhaps this developer should consider getting a community manager if they can't otherwise help themselves from leaping in to antagonise people that they'd quite like a favour from and/or to get money from.
But they weren't??? They got confused about what you meant and responded appropriately. Someone else has now clarified and the developer is considering changing the description. Nobody got antagonised here.

This is really cool! I keep forgetting about SDL3 because it seems like everyone is really happy with SDL2 right now. May I ask what the big developments with SDL3 are right now?

I wish they'd just update the originals instead of re-releasing them :(. It makes sense for consoles that didn't have these games in the first place but I only have BF2 on Steam.
