In this new major update, Galaxy Engine receives a brand new 3D mode with all the 2D functionality and more! This new version also includes many smaller changes and additions as well as performance optimizations, especially for fluids. Last but not least, Linux users will now get a native Galaxy Engine version so that it can run without Proton.
Note: Any save files prior to this version will be obsolete.
