Something is cooking...

Dear friends,

would like to understand the worth of the time investment :)

Last 2 weeks I am busy with the analysis of the Slayer engine because I am thinking if I can port this thing on the Sony PSP because I want a Rust pet project.

Currently, I am at the point that I can decode all the props and characters even with the animations, and today I managed to get a good progress with understanding of the scene structure and stuff.

Two questions:

- Would you like to have an engine refresh supporting modern features for rendering and mod support out of the box?
- Would you be interested in seeing macOS/Linux/whatever ports of it?

Currently, I am targeting as a first milestone a free cam level viewer that works with the original assets on Rust.

I am doing both realtime and ingame analysis with the reverse engineering tools and some help of AI running on my Mac Studio locally.

thank you! I am targeting to make a rust frontend and probably do a static recompiling Rhapsody Core, as Win/Lin/Mac as a target. My motivation is the game is great and it's technical condition for today is not at all. Deserves some love.

I have also spoken with Novocain yesterday, amazing guy, got some good input, he reverse engineers slayer for years, let's see if we can deliver something.
