I have a VPX cab that but I've been out of the loop for a while because it just works. A refresh of my cab is on the agenda, though, and VPE looks great!

Are you targeting Linux compatibility, by chance? My biggest complaint about the whole VPX scene is that it's locked to Windows.

Yes, we're targeting all the desktop platforms, i.e. Windows, Linux and macOS.

But thanks to recent efforts, VPX also runs on Linux now! It's on the standalone branch[1], under actions you can download a build.

And it runs pretty great! I just found out about it the other day and was impressed how well it worked.

By the way prheezie, thanks for all the work you put into VPX. I hope to see VPE get some momentum behind it once again now that your DMD stuff is finished off. What do you think the likelihood is of moving to Godot, and what would you estimate as the impact on VPE?

Aw, thanks :)

TBH I just started looking into it, together with a few other developers from the community. I'll post something at the usual place as soon as we know more.

Sounds good. Thanks for the update. I'll keep my eye on the usual place :-)
