As more and more games are built on 3rd party engines like unreal, unity and godot, it gets easier to have them run natively without proton or wine. Obviously there are compatibility issues that arise beyond the engine, but it helps a lot. Godot is particularly cool because it is FOSS, even if it is less developed than unreal or unity.

As cool as these developments are for Linux gaming, I am a bit worried about engine development becoming a lost art for studios/devs. Some kinds of game need specialized engines to work properly. Eugen’s proprietary engine, iriszoom, is kind of amazing in how well it handles the huge detailed maps and hundreds of units in Steel Division, Warno and Wargame. I was able to get their latest game, Warno, running just fine on integrated graphics, albeit at minimum settings and through proton. On the other hand, Cities Skylines 2, a game with similar scale to Warno, is built in unity, and it runs like a pig even on high end machines.

I really hope we can get more stuff running natively on Linux without having to go all in on these 3rd party engines, more stuff built in Godot would also be cool.

Ugh, of course the NY Dems that voted for it are from long fucking island.

It’s a matter of not feeding the monster, if you have less clothes, the monster can’t feed on them.

see what’s getting me is the inclusion of Corsica, a part of France, and the northern borders lacking the formerly Austrian controlled provinces. like, there is just multiple layers here.
