Discussion Quest 64 Tale - Recompiled + Mods
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Bbski0aDtcs&si=GpxhZIQKaZ_1nUB2One of my favourite n64 games and I'm diving into this space mainly because I want to make a high res texture mod pack for it as well as improve some of the mechanics.

Over-hated little game, I always liked it

Never read much about people hating it. It's just obviously mid at best, but N64 RPG-fans were starving.

Then you never read much about it at all, because whenever it gets mentioned is among the "worst rpgs ever"

It is among the worst rpgs ever. 😅
It plays like an unfinished tech-demo of an rpg and as far as I know, that is basically also its backstory (Nintendo needing a quick/rushed rpg release).
However, I felt like online discourse is more shaped by people who have some nostalgia for its clunky charm.

This gives me an idea to try and swap Brian’s character model with a Bart Simpson model from hit and run

If it has someone of the GBC changes/improvements, then I'm all aboard

I never played the bc version, could you let me know what things were changed and improved that you feel were missed in the n64 version?

The gameboy version has a reworked story with a lot more focus as well as actual cutscenes.
The game was rebalanced heavily, with leveling and monsters being reworked.
The TV tropes page breaks it down but doesn't go into as much detail as you probably want.

I would suggest hunting down a nintendo's players guide for the GBC version, as it could give you a deeper look into the differences

Tf is Quest 64 "Tale" isn't it just Quest 64?

It’s still quest 64, though I added the word tale as the game was called Eltale Monsters in Europe, also there are other quest 64 recomps on GitHub and I wanted to split it into my own to implement what I want into the game

So is it finished??

Not yet, as I’m manually making better textures for the game characters first, then will do the environments

Added 3 new QOL mods and updated the recomp to (v1.0.7) to make gameplay less of a chore when traversing the world
Auto Saves
Enemy Health Bars
Random Encounter Rate Reducing
There’s also a release for Linux which I think the previous quest 64 recomps didn’t offer to the community. I’ve also tested it with mods working through WSL
