Releases
The project is in constant evolution. Therefore, you can expect bug fixes, new features, and occasional issues along the way.
Noble will always remain free and open source. I started this project to learn computer graphics
and have fun, I do not want to monetize it.
You can still access paid, more engineered versions of Noble on my Patreon page.
I've poured hundreds of hours, many sleepless nights, and a lot of coffee into this project. I deeply hope you enjoy the result!
Feel free to report bugs or discuss ideas on the Discord server.
