CW: Hella blood. Zombie Rhea! I bet you shes hard to take down due to her high resilience and raw strength. #furry #furryart #art #halloween

This version of Rhea was unfortunate to become a zombie thus posing a very dangerous threat.

Life is all about learning things when you have the motivation on how to do something. If you want to make something, learn how to make it. It's a rewarding and fun experience trying to learn a new hobby. Everyone who you think is great at what they do didn't get there in 1 day.

I swear all AI bros just cough up the same "it's like a carpenter using a circular saw" analogy every time without fully considering that the analogy just isn't correct. AI isn't a circular saw It's asking another "carpenter" to do the job who has a history of not following orders.

Generative AI has not been used in ANY point of the process of making the DK64 recomp. We have not generated a single line of code with AI, and we're not even referencing it to solve a difficult problem. All code has been human made, backed with years of working with DK64 and referencing RT64 devs.

Donk Recomp: We have fixed (easily) the biggest issue with the recomp left - The audio engine. There's a race condition within the audio code. On higher-end systems, this would not result in any issue. However, on lower-end systems, it could do one of two things: Kill the audio or crash the game.

Rabbit Race with no lag, behaving like N64. No induced lag. Just telling the rabbit to listen to how much lag is present vs what N64 usually runs at. Also, finally figured out how to get weather working past 4:3 bounds.

so sick of all of these low-effort "recomps." Devs spent years disassembling, translating and commenting Mario 64, others made APIs and translation layers to make recompilation more effective and now fuckin slop coders are standing on the shoulders of both to make what is functionally bad emulation

When Nintendo builds an emulator, they compete with the entire history of fan and official emulation. Recomps face the same standard. If you're making a recomp, you're up against emulation, and the original release. Make your recomp the best it can be.

🧵 Donk Recomp: The framebuffer has been a pretty weird thing to get my head around. The game uses a LOT of dual-perspective effects for transitions, which relies on a snapshot of the previous frame overlaid on top of gameplay to create neat transitions like the warp transition.

Gonna do a testing stream for Recomp within the next hour. Still got some bugs we need to fix, but wanted to test a chunk fix I have with just running around different parts of the game. Will also be a great opportunity for me to note more UI things I need to shift around

Yo dawg, I heard you liked expanded minigame UI Turns out each minigame has it's own function for drawing the "GET/HIT" etc counter. The timer on the top right provided some interesting challenge (some code plundering revealed the fact that I was a bit of an idiot with my initial approach)

Donk Recomp: Interpolation issues when the camera makes a sudden cut between one perspective and another during a cutscene has been fixed. Without disabling, it leads to the interpolation algorithm trying to make it's best guess on what the inter frames should be, and failing kinda badly at it.

The DK64 Recomp passes "the vine test". Unlike NSO, our solution doesn't involve adding lag or modifying the internal framerate.

Everything being under the microscope means that even super subtle effects that many wouldn't notice (like the misting in Castle Underground) won't look like an eyesore because there's an obvious 4:3 cutoff with it if we didn't adjust it.

Which is what that above screenshot is demonstrating, the sandstorm, which'd normally be 4:3 with default RT64, will now automatically scale according to your window size because of the modifications we're making. Every part of the game is under the microscope.

These changes in graphical code does make it more optimized, and also makes it so that RT64 can understand that it should expand those overlays to take up the whole viewport regardless of how wide your screen is.

We're aiming for TRUE widescreen, which RT64, when handled correctly can greatly assist with. This does mean that we're having to not only change a bunch of calls in the game to remove some of the... fun things with DK64, but it also means having to change some of the graphical code too.

It'd be incredibly easy for our recomp to just change this value and be done, but you'd then get stretched HUDs, weird effects upon entering a new map where the game messes with the FOV. These side-effects would be even more noticeable on ultrawide. 100% not the right way to go for a quality port.

A lot of comments on 2dos's original trailer say "didn't this game already have widescreen", which yes, it did, but with an asterisk. Instead of actual widescreen, it uses something called anamorphic widescreen where it changes the FOV so that when the 4:3 image is scaled to 16:9, it looks okay.

🧵 Recomp work still in progress. A lot of what we're working on right now isn't the super interesting stuff to make lots of posts about, but mostly us trying to make changes the right way. Widescreen is one of those things where we want to get things done correctly, even if it takes a little longer.

Great article from @wes.readonlymemo.com for @pcgamer.com about the state of recomps and vibe coding. Myself and @2dos.dk64randomizer.com had a wonderful chat with Wes about DK64 Recompiled, which you can find here: www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

pcgamer.com

PC ports of old console games are the new AI vibe coding battleground

With projects like Donkey Kong 64 Recompiled, human programmers stake a claim on the art and science of retro game recompilation.

DK64 is art Context: Testing out fixing the sprite rendering function for Recomp. Currently that function, when we modify it, crashes the game. So I'm trying to figure out why it crashes. Turns out when you bully DK64 enough, you get this:
