@mntmn So I also backed the EOMA project (twice IIRC). I don't hate lkcl for what happened, I think the big mistake of that project was that he was doing almost all of it himself. I check in on the libreSOC email archives every now and then and I think his team is larger now. Like his old project, I don't know if this one will be pan out, but I do think it is an important task which should be done. Considering I don't see any other viable alternatives, I have to wish them luck.
@mntmn That there is a beautiful pupper.

@mntmn I think it uses ID tech 4 (from doom 3). Also, it isn't really a mod it's a full on open source game, similar to the theif series.
@mntmn Hey, what do you think the chances are that this would run okay on the reform?

@aadil I'm all about OSTs from games. My current favorites are: Hollow Knight, Gris, Dustforce, and Celeste.
