ported a simple file that makes at least one person flip

Small instances of the screen are alternating between left and right, with each instance rotating as they go down

Finally finished first pass of golden rule yesterday. And oof, that was a lot of file.

A final decisive strike on the higher being. There is a starry background, higher being and a hold that are being affected by a recursive wavy shader (achieving a flowing effect).

A starry background with a higher being? The view has been sliced diagonally. The being's face is now just a slasher smile and the body has a massive crack in it.

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

more progress on golden rule. i'm so close to being done with the first pass... (the first image isn't a finished section yet)

2 sets of 3 diagonal notefields across a cloudy background. The two sets are rotated opposite of each other. There are two sets of red lines to show where the receptors are.

A shifting wall of rainbow notefields. There's a red line where the receptors would be and a purple circle showing the only visible area of the notefield wall. There's a higher being in the background amidst a starry scene and some clouds in front of it all.

The last rainbow note of the song spiraling around the center.

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Made some good progress today on golden rule. Currently through around 40% of the file's runtime, with everything that doesn't involve notefields being done.

Four notefields sliding down with varying amounts of dizzy applied while a hexagonal game of life is occuring behind them. There's distorted lines flowing across the screen while a divine being appears to be looking on.

Four notefields with diagonal scrolling from the center. There's red lines to signify where the targets are. There's a raymarching shader going on.

A view of an ocean while a singular dpad notefield is falling down. (don't worry, the notes are counter-rotated)

A later shot of the diagonal scrolling section, where the notes are now scrolling towards the center.

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

ended up making some progress on golden rule, figured I should some fun super-ultrawide shots of the two proxy walls I got working

The first proxywall in the file. The screen is being hit with a color filter and some chromatic aberration. The wall itself has a wavy shader applied onto it, with lines to match.

The first proxywall, but it's tilting the other way, and there's less screen distortion.

The second instance of this proxywall. The screen has an ActorScreenTexture doing a very visible feedback loop. The wall has a different wavy shader applied to it, and is currently being distorted very heavily.

The second proxywall, but the feedback effect is less heavy and the notes aren't being heavily distorted.

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

oh no, not the discourse. anything but that

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

More progress on golden rule: All the non-notefield-related FG is in, and I've started doing the mods.

A raymarching shader showing the ITG2 background on repeated blocks.

The intro of the modfile: the notes & receptors can dip into the water and become more transparent & wavy when doing so.

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

It begins... I'm expecting it to hurt.

A sunrise over an ocean, with some slightly visible receptors

A threatening red blue red gradient with a light in the middle

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Oops, I've ported a modfile in a day again

Two notefields and a robot girl. I wonder what she'll do?

A notefield being swung around by a robot girl. She seems angry. There's also a checkerboard floor.

A notefield being swung around wildly by a robot lady. She seems really angry. The checkerboard floor is pulsing.

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

oh god, the shaders, they BURN!

A heavily datamoshed jpeg of a notefield. Except that's the game itself doing this.

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Me when I use cursed SM5 tech for a port

Very large zigzag-ed down and up columns, while the left and right columns look perfectly fine.

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Oh boy, this one's gonna be a doozy.

Four notefields each alternating between which one's fully visible enough to read the notes. (two of them are downscroll)

Four large circling notefields becoming wavy while Ash stands in front.

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Today might be the loneliest day, but hey I got another modfile working.

The top left corner reads "S.N.U.F.F.Y - METAROOM", The notefield in the middle has its' right arrow separated onto a wall. The background has the words "SHAKE IT LEFT AND SHAKE IT RIGHT" fading away.

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

With this, I think I've completed the first pass of machine wave! I'm pretty happy that I got the luafield working without much incident.

A notefield with some notes having glitchy graphics overlaid on top.

A notefield with the arrows being displaced. The small diamonds are the original location, with a line connecting the notes and diamonds.

021

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Welp, I've gotten most everything in here now. Except for the luafield. That might hurt a bit.

020

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Got some more progress in. Here's a shader, an entity and a robot.

An entity casting a spell, resulting in screen distortion

A blue background with waves in the background. Someone's upside down and there's a notefield.

A red background with (not very visible) square-like waves. There's a robot and a skewing notefield.

021

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Some progress: I got a BG working. I think I can get out of using a video for when I port the file that references this.

A background with 3 layers: Scrolling circuitry with moving lights, multiple spinning 5'' "POOL-LAN" floppy disks and a floating Sharp X1 computer.

021

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

And so I begin dealing with a digital(?) being.

Two notefields, Player 1 is unaffected, while Player 2 is skewed, using a digital sine wave path and all notes are pointing in the same direction.

Two notefields. Player 1 has a red square wave path, while Player 2 has a blue tangent wave path. Both players are converging, spinning and moving towards the screen.

031

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Felt like porting a relatively simple file after dealing with revisiting one massive file.

A tilted wall of notefields, The column order is flipped.

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

oops, I finished the first pass soon after the previous post.

A star-filled space with the Earth far away as the notefield flies towards it like a bird. There's a lyrics display on the bottom, and P1 hit almost good while P2 hit exactly where they needed to.

141

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Maybe tomorrow, I can reach the end of this modfile...

A re-creation of PaRappa The Rapper's gameplay, but with arrows and a Taro icon as the timing point. There's an image of ramen in the background with 3 distorted copies of "5000兆円欲しい！". Both players are "dancin' COOL !"

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Even more progress on the port today.

A floating Buddha in a sea of pink clouds while 7 NULLs circle the head.

Two notefields in a grid field about to be covered by a "SHAME CUBE"

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

More progress on this file. I've only edited one shader so far. (That's about to change, most likely)

A thinking emoji statue in the process of spinning wildly while a recursive shader effect happens on the screen of a Macintosh Plus model. A fake cryptolocker message is covering the notefields on that screen.

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

I've begun porting a monster (and no I'm not even remotely close to done, I'm doing things out of order!)

Two notefields with multiple jumps and a background that isn't being affected like the notefields are.

011

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

oops, I ported a file in one day again

A carousel of columns with a big 2 in the middle of the screen.

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

20 ports into my 'revisiting all past ports' project, and It's definitely not getting any easier. (At least, maybe it'll get easier later in this process...)

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

okay, I'm realizing how massive of a task revisiting all my ports is going to be, 10 ports in...

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

good luck, I'm buried under too many modfiles for you to reach me. But before that, you'd have to find me first.

030

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

I began revisiting my older ports, starting from the very beginning. This is gonna hurt a bit...

030

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

If anyone's wondering why I haven't posted anything this month, it's because there's been 5 power outages throughout the entire month...

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

This is one of those things where I feel like there's a 32:9 ratio of work going into something vs what gets noticed... (also, I wonder how well bsky handles these superwide images...)

A very wide screenshot of a city background. There are three layers: sky blue star tiles, dark blue buildings, yellow buildings with a brick ground.

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

oops i ported a whole file in one day again!

A trail outside a city with several trees on each side of the trail. The camera is tilted. There is a "cuíca" in the corner while Alice looks exasperated and her helping hand is struggling.The notefield has a color for each column: L=orange, D=pink, U=blue, R=green.

020

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

tfw your bps comes from the stone age

Three large YEAHs are in the BG with a NoteField behind them, and a kaypooma staring at a monitor waiting for their super hard evil modchart scary to upload.

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Sometimes, I just needed a good way to visualize rotation when nothing else was put in yet.

Two intersected squares, one yellow and one red, with a wireframe sphere as a background

000

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

whoops, I started another port, ahaha

An image of someone playing a dance game (maybe), and two conspicuous lists of mods. I wonder where the notefield went.

061

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Starting another port, I'm sure you'll recognize this one.

A bunch of notes, with the smaller ones being closer to the receptor

A notefield with a wavy path, and a background with circles spreading from the center

040

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

I think I'm gonna go lie down on the floor

A hallway of notefields, each one alternating between two sets of modifiers. The message of "Do you still remember...?" fades in menacingly.

A decisive hit to the enemy. And the engine.

230

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

more progress on the pain file, and wow it's painful

A normal notefield with the background shattering behind it

020

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

you ever port The Gimmick™️?

A very glitchy looking image of a notefield, with half a screen being frozen

120

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Help, I'm stuck in Recursive AFT Land!

$A strange recursive fractal of notefield screens.$

020

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

Finally some more progress. I hope you find this screenshot threatening :)

A screenshot of a notefield being strangely tilted while an enemy smiles smugly in the background

010

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 04/11/2024

Finally got my computer more storage + upgraded gpu. Now I can live that 4GB VRAM life. (and probably stream more now that GPU ram amount is less of an issue)

020

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 30/10/2024

For my first "real" post, here's the start of Pain + some comments I left behind

A flurry of pink & purple note trails on AutoPlay. Very threatening.

071

MrThatKid @mrthatkid4.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

Huh, I guess I got myself an account here. I wonder how things will work out here.
