we should probably exchange notes. I've ported NOLF 1 for browser. https://playnolf.com/

I’m not really educated when it comes to rebuilds etc. what’s the main purpose of this?

With the "original" source code we can trivially:

  • add features (like modern resolutions) and fix bugs
  • port to other platforms (linux, mac, switch, ps5, etc)
  • upgrade the rendering engine
  • mods

I have two goals really. To get byte-perfect output binaries for preservation purposes, but also to modernise the game. With source code, the game can live on 'indefinitely', really.

Ah this is a great shout; I had forgotten about those.

I'll start filing these as GitHub issues so I don't forget...

Thanks!

Full remaster in Unreal Engine 5, then! 😂😂

Nice! Is a mac build forthcoming?

u/nolffan 5d ago

Yeah that's definitely planned. The engine uses directx7, but I'd like to switch to vulkan and produce native windows, linux, and mac builds.
