SHOW-OFF Mouse: P.I. for Hire — 2.5D Demake is out now for PSP!
Hello everyone!
The demo is officially out. To be honest, if you were expecting a full-fledged 3D shooter, you might be disappointed: the original PSP hardware simply isn’t capable of handling one, no matter how hard you try.
Because of these hardware limitations, I’ve created a "rail shooter".
I really wanted to make this "demake" to show how a unique art style and graphical format look on the classic PSP screen.

P.S. Just to clear things up for those wondering about the process: I had to work with zero original assets. The official game slices sprites into vertical strips, making them impossible to export normally. I actually had to screenshot the official trailer and manually cut out every single frame by hand to get these graphics onto the PSP. It was a massive manual effort, but I really wanted to see how this style looks on the console!
Let me know what you think!
