@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialToday I’ve worked on a room that is going to hold the last bit of a puzzle necessary to move to another level.
Here is how it looks on #segasaturn.
Also, in my patreon you can find a blender timelapse of the creation process.
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialThanks so much for the shutout! :)
@goldenageturbo.bsky.social@goldenageturbo.bsky.social@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialSo now I have a Patreon, if you have some extra money, want to help out & get access to dev builds and some other goodies the link is in the replies.
Also, I've uploaded another youtube update for all consoles, also in the replies 😊
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialXD, perfectly fine, I love dad jokes
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialIn the future I will have a deeper look and see which other areas could be improved by looking at this new feature. Now back to wrapping all builds and work on the Patreon page
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialSometimes you have a look at some code a 100 times, but you might be looking to improve fix something else. It is difficult to see all the code from all the different angles and certainly having these tools helps in that situation (4/5)
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialInside this function, there was a call to an external small function. Fixing this was a simple as forcing that external function to be inlined. That alone gave me 2/3 fps back. Enough so that area/situation would not drop below 30 (3/5)
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialThis new code layout exhibited an area where performance would drop below 30 fps. Luckily Ares-64 recently implemented an option to see the Icache/dcache misses. This is unvaluable. Thanks to this I could see a function call that was always causing icache mises (2/5)
@goldenageturbo.bsky.social(#n64 capture). There is this problem with libdragon that causes AA to break when setting up the RDP to render cutout textures of a specific type. While that is fixed I created 2 different RDP settings, one for opaque and another one for cutout. (1/5)
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialAnother update on this, close to final. Created the nebula background on Inkscape, the planets are just spherized textures on CS6 and the title and the van are models in Blender.

@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialyeah, I'm too greedy XD

@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialIt's all video editing, they are all actually running on a Master System 😂
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialWhereas PS1 didn’t take me that long to reach 30 fps, but if I would think 60 fps was possible on ps1 and if it would be really close, then I would probably go down the same time consuming rabbit hole.
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialThey have plenty of similarities, but in my case, it was more related to which FPS tier I would think a console could be. Like f.e., on Saturn for a long time the game was running below 30 fps (but very close), I thought it was possible to make it run at that speed and that took a lot of time(1/2)
@goldenageturbo.bsky.socialSmall quick stop on #dreamcast. Bumped the texture resolution from 32x32 to 128x128. It looks really nice even on my lame composite capture card, and the game still holds up at 60 fps (640x480)
Next back to #ngage to close the circle
