With this release I don't have any sound problems on my Arch Linux anymore! #342

hi, can you make a little showcase video and explain what is still missing? congratulations and keep up the awesome work!

[Try]

Hi, @TheDovahkiin97 !

I remember, last time we discuss this in context of graphics. As usual it's a bottomless topic, yet before making video there is 2 features I would like to add:

1. Stochastic path-racer for atmosphere
2. Better water shader (not 100% sure, what it's going to be)

As for game-play - should work very close to vanilla already

[TheDovahkiin97]

Nice. Do you have an idea how long it might take to implement those? Roughly.

I will try all of this out in approximately one month.
Will it be a true release with promotions?

Do you think that OpenGothic already is the best way to play and enjoy Gothic?

Actually, I haven't thought of that. What exactly do you mean by promotions? Like youtube stuff + reddit + else?

Do you think that OpenGothic already is the best way to play and enjoy Gothic?

It would be very bold to claim so, but one of the best for sure ;)

[TheDovahkiin97]

Yes I meant exactly those platforms.

What would be the alternatives? I can only think of the dx11 renderer.
Almost everything else worth mentioning should be compatible with your mod. Like l'hiver. Right?

Sound like something similar to this in style:

Hello. Is there any chance to have a port for switch homebrew?

[Try]

Hi, not on my side in any case.
SteamDeck is already out there and AFAIK OpenGothic works as-is there with no issues. Meanwhile Switch doesn't even have full vulkan support, what means constant baby-sitting with this platform
