I’ll be in Taiwan for the next week visiting @baptistep.bsky.social, then back to HK for a couple of days before heading home. If you, reader, happen to be there and want to meet up for a cup of coffee, DM me :D

This game is first and foremost intended to sell the system. The craft that goes into working with the limits of the hardware is not what this remake is looking to show off

150

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

I mean it’s really leveraging many things modern rendering pipelines are good at, highlighting things the Switch 1 can’t do, and in the context of what is considered one of the most important 3D games in the medium’s history

120

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

The more I think about it, the more I understand the decision behind the OoT art direction: it’s really to sell the Switch 2 hardware isn’t it?

160

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

Mechanically it seems closer to the original OoT I guess, as opposed to the fixed camera RE originals, but I wonder how this feels as a "remake" product

020

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

as a product (because that's how this Ocarina of Time remake should be analysed, as that's the intention behind remaking it it seems), I do want to see how this game feels compared to, say, the recent Resident Evil remakes.

120

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

yeah makes sense… the sequences with adult link as shown in the trailer at the end seems somewhat less… shiny? idk haha. that part's more exciting to me, and my memory of the game itself makes me want to experience the game anew, I hope it will still be fresh enough as an experience style aside

010

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

I wrote "fresh" but it's not fresh lol, it's perhaps the opposite, as it looks exactly what people would expect. But the point stands: if it feels good to interact with for an audience that started playing games in the last 10 years, that's what matters to it, as a product ig

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

I personally gravitate towards the uncanny creepiness that came from the low fidelity, but I can't argue with the decisions they made… The Deku tree looks impressive, but it all does give a sense of walking through an Unreal Engine game artist portfolio piece 🫢

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

I AM pretty excited to walk around the entrails of Jabu Jabu at this level of fidelity lmao. Not a big fan of the visual style, but I can see younger people seeing this as good looking, and that makes sense.

110

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

Visual fidelity aside (which is really a question of taste), as long as the gameplay feels as snappy and fresh as it seems from the footage, that's what matters most in the end IMO…

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 08/09/2026

I guess this does fit what Ocarina of Time would look like if it were to come out in 2026 huh…! Feels pretty weird, not sure about some aspects of the updated design direction (Link's level of detail), but… as a product it looks and sounds exactly like what I expected.

The more I read one piece the more I’m convinced the D in Monkey D.Luffy stands for Delano, it’s obvious that FDR had some of that “Will of D”

Idk lol I’m just rambling but I’m really torn between being excited to replay my favourite game of all time in a new suit, and being worried about any form of remake only being a lesser expression of what made the original so incredibly impressive

000

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 12/06/2026

Whatever they do with this remake (I wasn’t too excited about the Unreal Engine look of the protagonist in the teaser), unless the gameplay is significantly different to increase tension in the scary parts & increase the “puzzleness” without being overwhelming, despite tge OG’s gameplay holding up…

110

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 12/06/2026

and the impressive dungeon design is really mostly impressive as it’s basically the first game to do it with this level of polish and relying on 3D spatial awareness

110

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 12/06/2026

Mind you, I wanted to get into games because of OoT, I’ve replayed it recently and it’s still my favourite game of all time. But the beauty of it in part comes from the low fidelity graphics, there’s no way it’ll be remotely as creepy as it was, unless they go full horror game mode

130

flo veltman 🔜 Paris Games Week (maybe?) 🔜 AdventureX (maybe?) @vltmn.itch.io · 12/06/2026

Im seeing a lot of people post about how excited they are to replay OoT, and how scary some parts will be or how they’re worried about getting frustrated with the water temple etc. or this remake definitely being a contender for GOTY against GTA6… oof, I worry this remake will hurt some people

Im catching up on the not E3 news of the past week, and I’m so disappointed in how men are simultaneously too lonely (do you not see how creepy this stellar blade situation is) and not lonely enough (do you not see how stupid this god of war situation is). What a joke.

It’s kinda what it feels like to rent out a graphics card to play your game in a VM lol

I think it’s partly an industry recovering from the metaverse hype and infinite money from a few years ago, but it’s being compounded with investors believing hardware should actually be a SaaS instead 🧐

Hopefully I’ll manage to ride out the current apocalypse, but I’m not super optimistic. Even understanding what place (indie) games currently have in people’s lives is tough. At what point do we consider catering to a luxury hobby to be an industry?

I’m currently working from a Mac mini and it’s allowing me to do most of what I want/need, but I’ll always need to switch back to a Windows device for platform specific builds and tasks. I do worry about both access to dev PCs, as there is increasingly fewer options for a bloatware free OS for dev

I’m reading a lot about how hardware becomes more and more inaccessible from a consumer POV, alongside the downward spiral of Windows as an OS, but I do wonder how this impacts indie game development as well

Death of an estranged parent kind of feels like having to mourn the relationship a second time. I’m on my way to Friesland (for the uninitiated it’s a place with heart not fries), probably to see my father (and his side of the family) for the last time.
