deltaport: An unofficial DELTARUNE linux port for Chapters 1-5+
I wanted to preface this by saying that no AI was used while making this project, every line was written by me and the project was made through good ol' duckduckgoing or googling, so if anything, this is human-made slop
About a year ago, I created a project called deltaport, which is a native unofficial port of DELTARUNE to Linux, i abandoned it shortly after due to personal issues, but after a year i'm finally back!
The entire project went through a massive rework, and It went from being very broken to somewhat usable with only a few issues
Most of the problems were in the script, not really the game itself, the main idea was already there, I just needed to polish it a lot more.
So fast-forward to the release of Chapter 5, deltaport has been refactored so you can experience DELTARUNE natively on your beloved penguin OS in the best way possible!
Now, i would like to address the: "buh it works fine with Proton" comments i'm sure people are gonna make, for that i simply quote:
> Science isn't about why - it's about why not. Why not just run the game through Proton? Why not marry Proton if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special Proton fork to run the game better, because microslop is capping your fps
~ Cave Johnson, probably
I created this mostly as a research project and for personal use, I learned a lot from it, that already justifies its existence
