Project-Friday v1.5.0 - Landstalker (Mega Drive) recompiled for Steam Deck / Linux and Windows.

New in v1.5.0

  • Sprint (new, On by default): hold R2 (keyboard Left Shift) and Nigel runs faster on the ground; jumps stay exactly as in the original. Options > Quality of Life: Sprint On / Off, Sprint Key Hold / Toggle. The controls moved for it: Quick Equip is now R1, Fast Forward L3, Fullscreen R3 (all remappable in Options > Keybindings).
  • Smooth Scrolling (new, On by default): while sprinting the room scrolls evenly at 1.5 x and stays sharp (the scenery is shifted by whole screen pixels inside the display filter, Nigel, HUD and text boxes stay put). Off = sprint 2 x.
  • Fix for the first start on newer Linux (issue #12, Ubuntu 26.10 / Python 3.14): the build helper module is now installed into the game's own data folder, so distributions that lock the system Python ("externally-managed-environment") work; your system Python is not touched.
  • Experimental, off by default (still being tuned, feedback welcome):
    • Friday Hints (Options > Quality of Life): press Select and Friday flies out of Nigel's bag and gives a hint where to go next, in her own words.
    • Dungeon map: bind a button to "Map" in Options > Keybindings. In a dungeon it pauses the game and shows the rooms you have visited, floor by floor, each room drawn from your ROM, with your position.
  • Everything from v1.4.0 is included.
