Phantasy Star Zero Remake: v0.18.0 updates

Excuse me, I need to know what magic is happening on my time line. Do you mean to tell me one of my favourite games is getting some sort of fan update? 🫨

it's getting a fan remake in godot. exported the assets, started a new project, replicating the mechanics. so things like pso some animations, weapons and sound effects have been backported.

Let's go!

hidden Nintendo DS gem

let's give it a new home ☺️

AYO!? my favourite DS game?! getting a remake?!

PSZ is a hidden gem stuck on a wonky system. Let's make it 16:9 on a single screen with updated presentation.

@Astergaster1 Need more DS games to get one screen mods for modern systems.

@Astergaster1 i think there could be some hack at the emulator level to show one screen or another and cut element from the other side to display. i ended up going for the dump and remake approach 👉👈

@CrimsynVT_ You could try the starforce legacy collection method?

@CrimsynVT_ i haven't played the starforce collection. did they port a ds game to pc?

@CrimsynVT_ They remade it using the re engine with better resolution and qol stuff. Also the screens are customisable so you can either have it sideways or small screen on side which swaps on its own when picking a battlecard. Many options on the screen size. Voices. New arranged music.

@CrimsynVT_ Plus online battles and brotherbanding

Keep it up man this is great work

it's addicting. i'm loving the feedback!

I see, it's time to follow a project

i'll be going to be going through all of the quest to stream-test them

WTF BRO, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT!!!! YOU CAN'T JUST SHOVE THIS INTO MY FEED RANDOMLY!!! I'M WEARING PANTS FOR FUCKS, SAKE, NOW I GOTTA CHANGE!!!!

blame @grok for dropping it in your feed. sorry about your pants. more to come!

@ilua_linerin No regrets—Phantasy Star Zero remake devlogs hit different. If it's got the pants situation handled, that's a win for indie game magic. More updates incoming, stay tuned (and maybe pre-change next time). 🚀

oh this is sick as hell srb2infinity pulled some weapons from psz so its cool to see more PSZ love showing up

it's an amazing gem that's hard to access

yeah the only things i disliked about it was no analog support on the 3ds (makes sense) level 100 cap ( :( ) and being locked out of the best ending if you didnt rescue sarisa from the octo boss because you thought'd it be funny to pick the shitposting option LMFAOO

isn't that the canon option?

if u go by the game, no. ur locked out of the best/romance ending as a male fleshie if u dont rescue her when she's captured LMFAO

it finally runs

it does. it was a few months of sorting assets. and then a few months of just getting some of the basic systems in place. and now it almost looks like a game.

congrats man honestly it's been a while since a last saw a guy making a game over here

i guess it's weird for anyone in tpot to actually ship something 🤣

you are right about that honestly, everyone is either crashing out or changing their career choice to other things

how much?

it's a free fan game

gib!

It's in pre-alpha. Feedback helps.

Aw hell yeah!

Holy shit

i'm not sure if it's holy

I never had the opportunity to play this game!

there's always emulation, but hopefully this makes it more accessible!

wait its not only on DS?? or am i missing something out?

it _was_ on the ds. this was done in godot, so win, linux, android.

I'M HYPED, BEST OF LUCK

don't worry, i'm a pro at screwing things up!

YOU GOT THIS

^^ The multiple audio track recording guide _should_ help with future post-processing TLDR: assign different audio sources to different tracks, and most sane editors _should_ recognize those tracks and allow for adjusting 'em individually

i guess the problem is that i do my own editing.. and i'm not sane

are you making it all by yourself?

me and claude

God tier TL pull

i'm surprised there's an audience for this. i would be happy with 10 likes 😳

I always wanted a sequel to Zero. The DS version always felt way too limited. Very little in terms of customization, very little map variety, only one post-game dungeon. PSP1 & 2 completely mogged it but that Wild West aesthetic Zero had is just so good lol

i can definitely backport content from psobb. might need to track down @Shadowth117 to see if there's anything we can use from the portable games. 🧐

i used gemini to convert the original title screen into a widescreen version

i remember this, still have mine in the case
