It's nice to see the huge size decrease but it makes me wonder why the hell did they ship it with the duplicated data in the first place. Is it some kind of HDD read speed optimization they used to do on old consoles..

Quoting: silverhikariis this wayland support just for the games or does it also including running the game designer on wayland?The Godot editor is made in Godot itself, so I would assume the support applies to it too.

They definitely got my attention. Gameplay looks promising and I actually like to visual style. The amount of blood reminds me of Brutal Doom.

Quoting: rkfgWhy do devs ship libstdc++ with their games at all? I build my games against "old enough" libstdc++ version, so it should work in any distribution that has the same or later version of that lib. At least I haven't received reports of any issues regarding libstdc++ for a long time.Quoting: ShmerlIt's actually ABI forward compatible, not backward. See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html [External Link]I always mistake forward/backward compatibility, it depends on the point of view, probably that's why. Yes, this seems impossible to solve once and for all. Either your game doesn't work because the system library is too old or the rest of the system (that's required for the game to run) doesn't work because you shipped a library too old now. The only solution is to constantly update the libs and ship them ASAP with the game binary or just don't use the modern C++ features and stick to stone ages of GCC 4.

I had a chance to test the local multiplayer in a development version some time ago. The game feels really good. Smooth gameplay and good responsive controls.
