thinking 1 year of inactivity = retired is crazy when most active artists I know have way longer gaps between projects than that

Got mine up too in my home office! They’re so cool

That’s sick! Picked one up!

Is this still in development?

CDs in particular are still utter black magic to me; how is it even possible that there is like an hour and a half of 44.1 KHz audio contained within microscopic bumps we can’t even see

Sub-11 RTA is real!!

this post is really weird, i’m pretty positive none of the accounts they mentioned are genuine

this is what my sleep paralysis demons look like

This is a day I have been waiting to see for a very long time. As the first 3D open world game ever made, LEGO Island was developed on the cutting edge of technology at the time. I'm so glad that we can preserve this fascinating part of gaming history!

I want to give a shoutout to the isledecomp team. Without this team of brilliant people, none of this would have even been possible. I could not have asked for a better team to be a part of.

Thank you so much to anyone who has contributed code or even just taken interest in our project, genuinely.

Although we have implemented every function, our job is not done! We have years of work ahead of us to improve the accuracy, naming, documentation, and structure of the source code. Accuracy and presentation is really important to us, so we'll likely be smoothing this out over a long period of time.

that must be what they were warning Porter about

twitter still sucks

the one where it was almost christmas

Wine has an implementation of D3DRM, but the majority of the functions are stubbed and nobody has picked it up in years since almost nothing uses it.

We currently use it when building the game for Windows on other architectures, but the game doesn’t start because of the incomplete implementation.

Thanks! Yeah, it’s a bit of a blackbox unfortunately. Our current plans are to reimplement it using SDL3/OpenGL ES.

(Alternatively, @microsoft.com should give us the source code to Direct3D Retained Mode; it hasn’t been updated since 2001 and only shipped with 2 commercially successful games!)

Yeah, we’ve managed to establish a workflow in the team that is very efficient and focused, so we don’t really update about progress anywhere that is immediately accessible. Though there is an official announcement of sorts planned for 100%, so no need to worry that this will fly under the radar.
