Linux Client and 1.5 Update Released!

UPDATE: We've released version 1.5.1 with fixes and features!



It’s been 3 years, 5 months and 22 days since a major update to Dystopia, and after some teasing (and subsequent delays,) we’re excited to bring you Version 1.5.0.

In addition to releasing our new games, Blade Symphony and Galacide, 1.5.0 was delayed due to the challenges of upgrading the engine. Source SDK Base, a required dependency, would cause Dystopia to break any time it was updated, so we’ve removed that dependency.

Dystopia 1.5.0 is a new baseline. In the last 8 months, we’ve migrated our massive infrastructure, created a new build system distributed across numerous cloud machines, that compile on multiple platforms and architectures. This will allow us to release updates at a faster pace.

To report bugs, please check out our Dystopia bug tracker on Github, and join other players in the official Puny Human Discord. The development of Dystopia 1.5 was paid for by our lovely Patrons. Thank you to everyone!
