gave ourselves all of January to get the loss32 prototype out the door and we have not forgotten about this
there'll be something downloadable by the end of 2026-01-31 (CET) unless we get hit by a truck or something
I feel like announcing the thing before we had a shippable prototype was a grave sin. it's normally something we avoid under any circumstances. it's bad for motivation and for credibility. touchHLE's announcement had a video and an exe file and source and a fully-working game!
touchHLE was a dream of ours for about a year and a half before we actually did it. as it happens, the incubation time for the loss32 idea has been about the same, we started playing with it in early 2024 I believe. one reason to go public was to force us to actually get it done
trivia: we applied for an NLnet grant for this project in December 2024 and got a rejection in April 2025
okay, we must apologise for our unreasonable optimism, the loss32 mvp/poc release is not going to ship today, consider it delayed for a few more days or something
we did finally get some stuff written but we started on it late, and we still have a broken relationship with swdev
@hikari loss32 is an amazing name :D
Take your time, people can wait
@hikari any hints on the specs of loss32? Desktop, package manager etc?
