After many years of development, we are finally excited to release SuperTux v0.7! This version features a completely revamped art style, fresh new levels, new music and so, so, so much more!

And seriously, thanks as always for sticking along; we really hope this release also reaches those who need it most during these times. Thanks a lot, and have a lot of fun :)

@supertux Wow, nostalgia road right there. Never realized I've got so many memories of playing SuperTux as a child with my friends. Gonna give this a try!

@supertux the art got a massive upgrade in this, almost looks unrecognizable in a good way! amazing seeing how far this game has come

@supertux Thanks a lot for all this work.

Stupid question from a basic computer user: will the install of V0.7 remove the previous one? If yes, will it keep what I achieved in the past? :) I'm on a KDE Linux distro if it helps for the answer.

This is also for the nostalgy to use sometimes the old graphics and Tux design. :)

@LeSapinSobre uhh, it depends on how you get the game, I guess. I don't know how it works on KDE Linux, but on other distrobutions you can get an appimage, in which case it won't replace your old installation. You can also get a flatpak, which (I believe) *will* replace your old installation.

@matusguy thanks Marty. I'll take a look. To avoid troubles I installed it on my Microslop computer to enjoy the new stuff immediately without risks. 🙂

I'm pleased to say that I was mistaken about AI contributions to Supertux. See the dev's comments down-thread.

@FritzAdalis ~~~oh no oh no oh fuck :<~~~

Edit: see comments below; things are much better than they seem, thankfully

@nina_kali_nina
Sorry. I figured better to find out early.

Nina Kalinina Mar 15

@FritzAdalis it seems like there's only one PR where it seemingly was sort of smuggled in... but :<

Fritz Adalis Mar 15

@nina_kali_nina
Yeah, I just saw that. Maybe ok? Trying to find where I read about it.

@FritzAdalis fwiw this PR on CI is later than the PR done by Claude changing some physics in the game

Add CI file for MacOS Intel by tobbi · Pull Request #3417 · SuperTux/supertux

Shamelessly done using Github Copilot. Due to the switch to MacOS 14 in our latest CI builds, the generated builds don't work on older Intel systems, such as the one I'm using. After a some...

@FritzAdalis @nina_kali_nina Noo one of my childhood games :(

@supertux Great to see the new sprites and abilities - but why was the music substituted altogether? Was there some licensing problem?

@supertux Great to see SuperTux still being in active development after more than 20 years! Kudos to the new dev team!

@supertux That's looking a lot better than a few years ago. You might want to update the screenshots on itch and LibreGameWiki.

Arthur Amalvy Mar 16

@supertux Nice, this game is my childhood!

LucKey Productions Mar 17

@supertux You're not "finally excited", you're "excited to finally". Also this toot should probably replace the pinned one announcing the beta... and congratulations on the release! 🎉
