I totally missed this, but even PC Gamer did an article on The Force Engine when 1.0 was released:

Nice to know that there are publications who isn't just writing articles for the clicks and outrage culture...

Retrospective and 2023 Plans · The Force Engine

So I am a little impatient sometimes, or should I say I am excited for this, and tried it in wine. I got an error message, but if I ignore it (do NOT click OK, just click beyond it), I could actually play the game, without sound or music.

Lucius (the main dev), confirmed that sound system needs to be worked on for Linux:

Luckily I know the first mission better than my real life neighborhood, so I can play it without sound and music, and still hear it in my head. What a frakking nerd I am, hahahhah!

I used a simple 64-bit Wine version (staging) and just installed the GOG version in it too, for the game files. TFE automatically detected it.

"Full support for Dark Forces has been completed."

Yes, my Lord. The new Death Star is fully operational! I mean The Force Engine 1.0 is here!

Even IGN made a video about it, which is just weird, cause they did something good this time.

This is like my birthday in December! A Christmas 3 days early!

You still need the data files:

3 years in a making! Thank you! Outlaws support will come in 2.0!

"The Force Engine", das Projekt, das durch Reverse Engineering die Jedi Engine auf moderne Betriebssysteme portieren will, hat nun Version 1.0 erreicht. Damit lässt sich "Star Wars: Dark Forces" endlich auch außerhalb von DOSBox auf modernen PCs spielen, mit wahlweise höherer Auflösung, Mouselook uvm.! Zeit für meinen zweiten Versuch, das Spiel zu beenden! ;)
