Hello everyone! This is a minor housekeeping update for Linux - the Windows and macOS versions were untouched in this update. Simply put, a severe performance regression was discovered recently and it turns out OpenGL call lists were to blame - this hasn't been thoroughly investi
Oikospiel Book I is a game about fevered landscapes, classic literature, operating systems, opera and the need for dog-based unions to stand against cruel labour practices. It is a series of strange and wonderful things, from David Kanaga, the chap who made the strange and wonder
