I've been diagnosed with a minor case of computer programmer
congrats on rendering one more triangle than I ever have in Vulkan 🎉
Denuvo if it was (more) evil
Gigabyte might have the worst UEFI frontends out of any motherboard vendor
A top-down view of Soleanna Castle Town from SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (2006) in 3ds Max with the Kynapse AI path ways loaded on top.
Behold, the nervous system of Soleanna Castle Town.

A mouse cursor hovering over a "Find in Files..." context menu item.
Modder still searches game files the old fashioned way
"We added an MCP server to our modding tool so you can use AI to browse the game files programmatically."
This is the result of merging two Acroarts cutscenes together.
It's spawned in a second Sonic model, but this cutscene's animations for Sonic's have presumably taken precedence over the other, resulting in that afterimage effect.
As for Elise just standing there uhhh... I couldn't tell you. lol
It was having nightmares about Windows Update.
I've woken up twice in the middle of the night now and my computer would randomly follow a few minutes later and wake up from sleep. I think we're both having a bad night.
It's for the '06 modding tool, working on support for Acroarts binary files; used for cutscene sequencing, particle effects, etc.
This is the last remaining file format that hasn't been fully reverse-engineered in this game, but we recently got symbols for it and have been chipping away at it now.

A Git commit on GitHub titled "English (Simplified)" with the description "For consistency." The diff shows a class name being renamed from "Colour" (spelt with a U, for English (UK)) to "Color" (without a U, for English (US)).
Born to type "colour", forced to type "color"
Marathon Recompiled options menu on the "Input settings" tab with the "Horizontal Camera" option selected.
👍
TIL Discord has a spam folder under message requests. Apologies to that one person who asked me a question about Phantom Rush in Frontiers nearly two years ago being left unanswered. lol
Alright it's been a year, I think we can reveal the "imgui sega balls!" lore...
Correction: it turns out we can extend controller support beyond what's included in SDL by default using custom game controller databases.
You'd be better off trying to map your controller to XInput in the meantime though, as it'd be awhile before that makes it into a public release.
The supported controllers are handled by SDL, so if it's not being detected, there's not much we can do unfortunately.
If you can get the PS2 controller to be detected as an XInput device instead, it should work with the game.
Development has slowed down as everyone found new responsibilities and projects they'd rather be working on, but the next release v1.0.4 is slowly being chipped away at.
Progress for it is being tracked on the GitHub milestone: github.com/hedge-dev/Un...
It also started having some uh... issues.
More pre-release Unleashed Recompiled options menu stuff: it was originally going to include a drop-down for configuring the keyboard layout.
We ended up dropping it during Beta 1, as we felt it would be better to have it remap actions in a later release instead, rather than buttons.
I'm glad we were able to play around and provide a satisfactory port of this game, had a lot of fun being the guy to implement all the little things.
It only took working on porting Sonic Unleashed for me to actually start enjoying the game. 😅
We planned some of the gags for it maybe weeks in advance, but I still ended up having to pull an all-nighter on the day of the stream, as the game started randomly crashing during loading screens.
...turns out the issue was due to our logging implementation and not because of Bad Apple.
The live stream from @melpontro.bsky.social was the icing on the cake to reveal all of this. If you missed it, please do yourself a favour and give it a look if you enjoy watching VODs.

From concept to release: Achievements
This was much less of a headache in comparison. I implemented these within a few days, as by this point the framework we'd developed for the options menu made it much easier to start on new stuff.
From concept to release: Options
This by far took the most amount of time and iterations to implement, but by late November, things started looking closer to final.
Development on this started with Skyth alone, before it turned into a full blown effort from everyone on the team.
