like why there's binaries and they cost, but there's also a source code which is free

+this game (apotris)'s pc builds are using tilengine!

Hi!

Tilengine is open source and you can use as you fit. Prebuilt binaries are just a convenience for people struggling with gathering dependencies and building the binaries themselves. They're also a way of "donating" and supporting hosting fees. But they're totally optional.

Is Apotris using Tilengine? Cool!
