I'd like to share the previous programmer art for the thumbnail of this mod that I rejected because I woke up in the middle of the night and glanced at it on my phone thinking it was a toilet

Today on yet another episode of me fixing a game before playing it, I've released a mod supporting Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 in the remastered collection that fixes the analog stick deadzone.

my Steam account set to be worth 3 Yakuzillion dollars in two days

Looking at a post on my feed from February 6th 2025 whilst half asleep and wondering how I was seeing a post from the future until I remembered it's 2026

I was expecting to be giggling watching Iron Lung because of the funny bite of 87 guy, but I ended up being genuinely captivated by it instead. Markiplier cooked with this let's play

More than a year after starting work on this, it's finally here: The full release of Hedgehog Engine Blender I/O! github.com/hedge-dev/He...

some people are getting way too confident with the output of whatever LLM they're using when claiming to have a working disasm/decomp/recomp which, in fact, does a whole load of nothing

Anyone speak fluent Additional Episode "Sonic Boss Attack"?

I've been helping with this and it's now ready! Banjo: Recompiled is now out! A PC Port of Banko-Kazooie with high framerate support, ultrawide, analog camera, mod support, etc! (also, I made the trailer!) youtu.be/0906Cz-59eU

Big update incoming: Marathon Recompiled now supports achievements! Track your progress in-game with this beautiful menu made by Hyper. Achievements have been painstakingly relocalised, so you no longer have to worry about "obtaining the all moves" :)

I didn't play Kiwami 2 for one day and the SEGA logo became extra aggressive

I've really been sleeping on the Yakuza series for way too long

HAHAHAHAHA dude this PR is so fucking LGTM, it makes me wanna merge without looking

There's something oddly satisfying about returning to an old codebase, being confused by everything for 20 minutes then suddenly everything sorta just clicks and you can get right back into it

Tech "entrepreneurship" these days seems to just be slapping a price tag on FOSS and suckering as many macOS users into buying it as possible using flashy demonstration videos with way too many zooms and pans

This week, I made a bunch of progress on XNOEdit, my cross-platform editor/viewer for Sonic '06 objects powered by .NET and WGPU. Still lots to do, but many objects now correctly visualise, including textures! Next up, bringing in original recompiled shaders so everything looks perfect.

Been a bit since I've done a weekly update, so here's what we're up to! Lots of stuff is in the works: - Achievement support (Hyper) - Physics-based high FPS fixes and APIs for character controllers (Rei) - MSAA & resize support (Rei & I) - External cross-platform XNO editor (Me) Stay tuned!

I thought it'd be fun to outline (literally) how much of a hack the custom UI in the recomp is. Anything surrounded by an outline is drawn using Dear ImGui and isn't rendered by the game.

Quick update on this, I made the borders mirrored and added a faded letterbox when narrower than 4:3 instead, so it doesn't look as horrific as it used to.

Fun '06 fact: the button window text is always rendered twice, but is covered up by the main menu panels, so you don't see the duplicate at the top left.

After almost a month of work, the '06 recomp options menu has been merged! This comes with a few new options, along with some improved existing ones to make them work at runtime. It's still not 100% there yet though, as many of the video settings available are yet to be implemented on demand.

This week we got more progress from @hyperbx.bsky.social on the options menu! All of this is implemented outside the game's UI engine in ImGui :)

Nothing much to report this week, but here's a sneak peek at what @hyperbx.bsky.social is cooking up :)

This week, we've fixed several more high FPS issues, including particles, UI animations, and bullet collision, improvements for the debug camera, and added patches for rendering Shadow's shadow-Mephiles in crispy high res!

Here it is! The most anticipated patch yet... Ultrawide support in the UI, along with several restoration patches and high frame-rate fixes. This took a lot of work, so make sure to give your thanks to @hyperbx.bsky.social

So here we have the main menu scaling to aspect ratios like 16:10, 4:3 and AAAAAAAAAAAA

You know you're screwed when you search for CPU instructions and get results for HP printers instead

I think there might be a problem

Sonic '06 for the telephone

So this is the level of procrastination I'm on today huh

My last lobby in CrossWorlds before the beta servers closed, I'm gonna miss this game. 🫡

I need to get off this vibe coded OS man, I'm so tired of something new just breaking in every update and nothing actually important being addressed, just more Copilot+ garbage nobody is actually asking for

Cursed

Today in pointless details that I put way too much effort into, I've adjusted the CRIWARE logo screen in Marathon Recompiled to make the technology logos align to the bottom right corner.

These arrows have been the bane of my existence for the past couple days, but I finally got them extending dynamically at ultrawide.

Here's what we cooked up this week, some big things coming soon... - Ultrawide support for pre-rendered videos - Voice language config, you can now play with JP VAs in English locale! - Autosaves at all vanilla save prompts! - Audio popping fixes for macOS - Cleanup & additions to several patches

hwoah

so i have been sitting on the cancelled hyrule port for far too long, so i'm releasing it in the VERY unfinished state it's in now, alongside the project files so anyone can try to pick it up where we left off. drive.google.com/drive/folder... #Sonic #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicFrontiers #Mods #Modding

Would you look at the time... - We've fixed issues with reflections in stages like Crisis City - Started implementing fixes for high refresh rate (>60 FPS) - Added support for volume attenuation on Linux and Windows aaand started work on autosaves!

I took apart my keyboard because the print screen key stopped working after I vacuumed my desk yesterday. I didn't see any obvious signs of damage so I put it back together and the key just started working again.
