Major props though it sounds seamless and this project is so cool!

Let it be... it's... funny.

stutter gang rise up \o/

N-n-n-nightmare

I can probably help with that my problem is having a bunch of random silence that I have to cut out so I'm pretty good at looking at audio

Happy to give you a copy to play when it's in a better state!

Now you could say he was striving for originality...or something. But insane works too xD

aint you nathaniel b?

​@JoshuaBarretto yes please! What's your Twitter or discord?

hi nathaniel

Greatest star collecting dance I’ve ever seen

😂🎉

Its prob obfuscated by gba resolution

"Fuck-a you, this is my star!" - Mario, probably

I hope it stays that way, it's funny

Hello, A.

-A or A-?

I do

Y'all clearly haven't seen Asterix and Obelix XXL for GBA.

True. But it's either the super rich going to space, or all of us getting to enjoy this; and I know which I'd choose.

I'd say the investment was worth it

Yea, idk bout you but I much rather see someone use their strengths to do something they are truly passionate in rather than them using their strengths to land people on the moon.

the moon isnt real thats why we cant land on it

​@@TazAlonzopeople used to be more compassionate about landing on the moon

Agreed! That so many early 3D games had a fixed angle camera is unfortunate. One of the things that made SM64 so groundbreaking was the dynamism of its movement, and the camera was a big part of that. It's important to me that I replicate that same feeling here.

@@jsbarretto Yeah! And the way the camera zooms and shakes during special animations like opening key doors or dying is still so uniquely high quality to this day. It’s wild that Nintendo’s first n64 game set the bar so high.

i'm so glad i'm not the only one who thinks camera does so much to how a game feels

​@@jsbarretto the problem is that the player's control over mario's movement is relative to the current camera angle, so if the camera angle changes then mario starts changing direction too. this can be very annoying when the camera automatically and unexpectedly changes angle while the player is navigating a dangerous area. this can be solved either be having mario's (or any other character) movement direction instead tied to something other than the camera angle or by the camera angle only change when the player makes it change. it is not necessarily something to worry about in this project since this project is mostly just replicating the original SM64 experience rather than improving it or anything but i am just saying. i actually found this problem more noticeable in Gex: Enter the Gecko than SM64 but it is an issue in both.

This comment 100% on the mark. Sonic 1, 2, 3 are better games with widescreen, purely better and that’s completely true. My favorite cameras in video game history are the pikmin 1, 2, 3, and 4 cameras. They are freeing and forgiving yet limited, very elegant

The N64 was basically that, the 64-bit features were mostly a gimmick.

A proper 32 bit system is able to render basic 3d models, the gba is not.

@@Mrcoconutgun I'm not really sure what you mean by 'proper' here

@@jsbarretto I'm referring to 32 bit consoles of the 90s, namely the playstation one and sega saturn. They're able to render basic 3d models, the gba on the other hand is not capable of that. I've always thought of the gba as an upgraded super nintendo (16 bit console) in terms of graphical capability. The nintendo ds is much more of a "proper" 32 bit handheld than the gba. No hate on the gba though! It was my first handheld, and some of my fondest gaming memories are with it.

@@Mrcoconutgun But the fact that they're 32-bit doesn't really have anything to do with their ability to render 3D graphics. Sure, it might *help* if you can manipulate a fractional value in a single register, but it's perfectly possible to write 3D games without that. The difference between the DS and the GBA is primarily that the DS has hardware support for polygon rendering, but again: nothing to do with the side of the registers.

I briefly tried professional gamedev, but it killed my enthusiasm for it entirely. It's much more fun as a hobby!

​@@jsbarretto that's me with creating music. doing it as a hobby with creative freedom and your own ways around things feels much free-er without deadlines and pressure I guess

@@jsbarretto such a common story. Just released my game STREET UNI X and people are like "you could get a job in professional game dev!" and im like "why would I want that, i want to keep making games i think are cool more than I want to be on a big team with a high salary"

@@jsbarrettonintendo hires you as lead programmer for under wraps switch 2 title, what do you do. Decline? For me it depends on how much crunch I’d have to endure and or willing to endure, I hope little

Considering how much Nintendo hates their fans...yeah.

It's THE best I have ever seen and probably will ever see.

too bad it will never be released

​@@acorngnomeTomb Raider GBA is insane as well. I love these demakes, they're so cool

For homebrew there's also the ever impressive openLara gba.

It's Asterix & Obelix XXL, for clarification, and literally any handheld game made by the VD-dev duo is worth taking a lot at because they kept pushing the limits of the systems the made games for. R.I.P. M.Velez.

the people who think everything online is fake are just the usual Dunning-Kruger neckbeards. The don't need to be paid any mind at all.

I remember when I first put in a Starsky and Husk game and was so surprised when I saw 3D

Don't forget the Need for Speed games

Agreed

Oh man imagine if it got released and people started making mods of this like they do all the other versions 😮

Sounds like you're a fellow resident of Blighty too. I'll go for a decent bucket of cider any day!

Then it gets recommended to you every once one in a while right?

yep, same

@@boredyoutubeuser Yeah. I subscribed so I wouldn’t miss progress updates.

The more I work with the GBA, the more I've come to love it. It's right on the edge of many things being *only just* possible, and decent 3D graphics sit in that category.

Did he say it won't be released?

@@SmashyPlays he litteraly says it at the end

​@@Calmtimer he also mentioned getting a copy to a gaming youtuber in the comments. maybe there will be some sort of low key, no profit release

The downside of making something nintendo related unfortunately

That's such a good word to describe what I love about the GBA. Cosy.

I am not the most inspiring speaker, sorry! 😄

​you communicate what you need to. That's what's important. And you do it well :)

@@StatickyCat No wonder the system's library had so many SNES ports

Snes on steroids basically. Lol.

GBA is roughly 10 times as powerful as a SNES.

I remember holding a cartridge in my hand back in the day, super mario world, and I just couldn't believe that I used to play this on a bulky hardware. U barely appreciate how far we have come in terms of technology that small devices are simply capeable of this right now...

Yeah but some SNES ports looked worse in the GBA. Some effects and resolution looked worse. Not to mention the colors looked washed out. I noticed this with Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2 Yoshis Island and even the Mickey Mouse games

I still hope for some genius hack here, knowing nothing about 3d graphics engines. Who knows, maybe Kaze has some ideas 🤣

That reminds me, I need to improve it and go for a dithering effect instead.

I'm all for super mario advance sp

Super Mario 32

Yup and we still get the Mario Bros mini game included too lmao

@@BigNateDoggOGfun fact: in an early Build of SM64 they included that but it was scrapped😢

mario advance 5 was the prototype name for nsmb, so it's already taken

I've been having a few ideas. Pushing the hardware to the limit is good fun, so I think it would have to be something a bit absurd. I'm thinking open-world, Bethesda-esque. Think Daggerfall, but with an interesting landscape. I don't know.

@@jsbarretto Could you turn 2d games into 2.5D games? Not that theyd look great, but metroid fusion or zero mission with 3D backgrounds on original hardware would at least look... interesting.

He's suddenly become Bri-ish.

Sorry for those typos :D

Oh don't worry, there are *plenty* of ways to clip into the ground if you know how.

That's intentional! I prefer the look of the SM64 DS model, personally.

@@jsbarrettoDS needs more attention, so i'm glad you've been making this game with it's style

@JoshuaBarretto The model also actually used LESS polygons than the OG 64 model (thanks to optimization), so helpful for performance as well.

Good feedback!
