Comment on List of Fan (OpenSource) Ports/Remakes of Games
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 1 week agoI actually really appreciate someone clarifying the chronology of these games, I’ve got them all in my steam library and can never remember the order they go in.
Do the OS remakes have any QoL improvements? I tried playing through them recently and had a very hard time with the manual save system since I’m used to autosave points in linear games like that.

As far as I know they don’t add autosaves. I think the priority was things like proper wide-screen support and higher resolutions for the older games.

Got them working, and was pleasantly surprised to find most of them had flatpack installers! Manual saving is still a pain but the engines running smoothly does make a big difference.
Although the dark forces installer doesn’t work with the steam install so you have to copy the game data to the data folder to make it work.

Honestly anything to deal with the horrendous friction and instability of the original, even modded I think I had to stick with 4:3 which even with black bars was still not quite right on my modern system. It would have to be a better experience, even if I have to re-learn manual quicksaves.
