Jackbox Games get their engine ported to Vulkan and SDL2, try it with Jackbox Party Pack 7

I don't really see these games needing the performance that Vulkan could bring. Makes me wonder if their intent might be to go Stadia as well.

@Liam, I think that blue guy wants to borrow your boat.

Quoting: GuestOut of curiosity, do you know if is it still using some libdxvk.so in the linux build like it does on stadia?
If the ray tracing actually works on Linux (haven't seen any tests on that yet), then they must have worked from the DX12 path and dxvk wouldn't have been helpful. It actually makes me wonder if they implemented a whole Vulkan backend for their engine. Which would also explain why porting it took a while.

A patch just landed that supposedly makes RT actually work for people who it crashed on.
I saw one video on YT from someone that had RT on (and ultra like everything else). Don't know if that was with the patch, but the game worked. Well, as far as high fps with loads of stutter is working. But Ultra RT on a 2080 may have been slightly too much.

I find its control scheme comfortable enough.
I'm not a qwerty keyboard, so it's useless to me.

Looks like a nope.
Thanks, then I'll give this a miss.

Quoting: SeegrasIsn't that just one of these newer hidden object games? Because they all fit that description.

Yes, the "hidden object" genre has changed, it's much more adventure these days.
Even modern HO games still have the inappropriately placed puzzles and a bunch of hidden object search screens. They may have done away with those and extended the rest. That would definitely make it a departure form the "hidden object" genre.
