Massive update to Caves of Qud brings fully native gamepad and Steam Deck support

Jump

  • Me too. I was honestly shocked at how well it played all things considered. Definitely worth trying if you've played a lot on PC and would like to play on the deck. I was skeptical but played for 4 hours last night.

    • Lenovo Legion Go - Can it Linux?

  • Great resource thanks for sharing. I have been chomping at the bit for some information about the Linux experience on this device.

    • What's your favorite Linux distro?

    Jump

  • Void Linux. Can't say enough good things about it. Feels like arch but more minimal in the base install and less of a hassle than gentoo.

    • Sci-fantasy roguelike Caves Of Qud is getting a full release in 2024, after 15 years of development

    Jump

  • Wow really looking forward to this. CoQ is certainly one of the best roguelikes released in recent memory.

    • My 'sensible use' excuse for owning a Deck: running the music software I know since 10 years old :D

  • I live renoise but feel like no keyboard is a non starter for me. How's the experience using just the deck controller?

  • I'll agree the emacs on ramp is widely regarded as a barrier to entry on CL. I've heard good things about the Alive plug-in for vs code though. Also stuff like emacs4cl and portacle in theory make it easier, but I don't disagree.

    With that said, using an editor built on a lisp to work on lisp as its advantages if you can get over that initial hurdle.

  • Common Lisp!

    It can be a little esoteric if you don't have experience with the paradigms, but I've never used a language that felt more free.

    On SBCL you have typing support, CLOS provides an OO interface, and it lends itself well to functional style programming (despite not having a type system as powerful as say Haskell). Additionally, the ecosystem is quite stable and mature, any library of functionality you might need is likely available.

    • Are almost all mobile games bad?

    Jump

  • Highly recommend Dawncaster if you like Slay The Spire / deck builders. I think I paid $6 for it and I've probably played 40 hours or so. Just an honest to goodness straight up good game that happens to be on mobile.

    No gache/gems/freemium nonsense/etc.
