Ooh, not April Fools? Nice! (Looks for MacOS download)    :(   Dang, you got me good...

 

All jokes aside, thanks for the update!

Super exciting!

Really neat features, especially the 32X format, although I don't think that will convince somebody to make a 32X MegaWAD. ;)

i stress that slade has been nigh unusable on linux for five and a half years

 

and it broke shortly after i actually released a map for the first time

 

so

 

very exciting

I use it on Linux but only as a lump manager. That said, do the devs know when the new version will appear on flathub? Right now, it's only offering 3.2.1 :(

 

EDIT: Never mind, it just showed up in Mint update :)

Umm....

Spoiler

 

DOOM 32X Delta would say otherwise, although Roebloz posted here on July 19, 2022, last time.

Fun fact: Romero got impressed with the Sigil romhack, that he even nominated it on the Cacowards 2021 mentionation thread.

 

Otherwise, yeah, I get where you're coming from. :P

You can tell right away where I'm coming from by just taking a look on my profile picture.

Great news.

Will there ever be an update to the MacOs version?
