luxtorpeda VS OpenGothic

There is also OpenGothic. Which can be used standalone or through Luxtorpeda.

Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

I use ProtonUp-Qt to get different Proton versions. You can find it there. You could also manually install Lux. Then just select it from the Compatibility tools.

try using Luxtorpeda to install ECWolf to play it instead

Released a new luxtorpeda-dev client (https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda/releases/tag/v63)

There's a project called Luxtorpeda which acts as a compatibility layer in Steam but instead of running the game through Proton, it will download and run it with native engines and source ports. So if you enable it with classic Doom it will pop up with a dialog asking which port to play with (GZDoom, doomsday etc) and it will count towards your Steam play time, enable the Steam overlay etc. Keeps the engine up to date and works with lots of other games with open source ports too.

OpenGothic - Gothic 2 clone. C++, DX12, Vulkan, Metal

There is also OpenGothic. Which can be used standalone or through Luxtorpeda.

quests are implemented mostly in scripts. the window of the quest log is implemented here: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/blob/master/game/game/questlog.cpp. game scripts then create topics and set their status by calling these functions

Well the screenshot shows G2 and OG works good enough for G2 for such a image. And OG already runs at least on M1 so using it as a good base for a remake or console port might be an valid option.

What for? Better improve an existing project, like https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic

Kinda exists. There is OpenGothic. "The goal of this project is to make a feature complete Gothic game client compatible with the game and mods." There is also a team of russians who released an early build for Android (video), download is still up :)

Was looking at source implementations of old game engines and came across https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic . Was surprised to find it is implementing Ray Tracing on Metal https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/issues/261 . This has to be a first.
