I usually ignore video only posts, but the cover art actually caught my eye, this is one of the few times I actually watched the video and that game looks absolutely sick. Instantly wishlisted to keep tabs on it
Very nice. Good video too. I like hearing the origin story if the game. And to your point about not wanting to show your code… ugly code is beautiful code really. Anything I write is akin to modelling with clay… using hammers. But if it does the job (especially any smooth UX bits) and resource availability is not particularly critical then all good. Seeing that process play out through code structure is cool though. Much more interesting than some ultra optimised minimalist code. When it comes to a game, I think a slightly chaotic code base actually lends some artistic effect that bleeds through the actual visual/aural/haptic interfaces. Game looks fun though, is what I’m getting at. Make sure to post a link to the demo when it arrives!
The original video already had a bunch of quotes (like that one) that have lived in my head for years. This remake just added, "Mum pisses in jars!" to the list. :D
I've had similar thoughts here, but I'd add also that the remasters also bloat the data of a game massively while also completely cutting out some really smart rendering tech. Like vertex colors in general, but specifically Spyro's vertex color skyboxes.
Similarly was watching reviews on the Medievil remaster and hearing a few people say that they left some glaring design issues in.
