Progress Updates
🕑 Added 2024-01-07 16:17:27 +0000 UTCReturn to Yoshi's Island is now about 80% finished! I'm halfway through course 12 and I'm in the stages of finalizing the last 3 level themes.
Great news for this project is also that I now have a very skilled artist, Biobak, help me polish up all my earlier levels. (I'll be using the patreon funds to pay him for his work...)
SM64 x Banjo Kazooie now also has 120 stars (out of 140) finished. All that's missing content-wise is for us to add some overworld enemies and overworld stars (but this is all pretty quick to do).
BUT I'll be porting this hack over to the RTYI engine so that it (hopefully) runs fine on a real console... This is going to take a bit, especially since I'd still like to add a few performance improvements here.
For fans of the performance improvements: I've kept finding small bits here and there ever since the source rewrite (some documented on youtube) and we've ended up finding another 80% performance boost. I might edit a huge video together about this at some point, but that'd be a pretty long project to finish. I'm not sure when I'll have time to document all this...
And lastly: There is a GOOD CHANCE that I'll be able to release an "HD OST Cartridge" that contains all the songs from RTYI + bonus tracks in higher quality that couldn't make it into the game at some point. I think it'd be a super cute souvenir. I might even bundle it with an authentic RTYI box plus instruction manual.

I know this sounds cheesy but you're making childhood dreams come true for me
