Yep. In addition, there is now a free build of version 50.xx on the official website, which uses the same code as the Steam version, but does not include the tileset and the soundtrack.
I tried that free build on the weekend (because I didn’t want to bother with installing Steam on my ARM64 laptop), and it still looks as amazing as always. Now I just need to learn the keybindings for the Steam version - because using a mouse with ASCII graphics feels just wrong 😉.

Yup, you can play the ‘post steam’ version via steam or free download and get the ASCII characters, however you år still forced to use the mouse to play it, which doesn’t work for me so I stick with the old 47 release and just play that forever I guess!
