Re: A Very Interesting Discovery in Simon the Sorcerer 1
The background artworks are among the best I've ever seen in a pixel-style adventure game, honestly. It all seems very three-dimensional despite the low resolution. I also love the fact that the artist seemed to like hiding faces all over the place.

Re: Breaking engines into executable modules
And we had some discussions on our Discord/IRC channel recently about the PSP and possibly PS Vita hitting their limits as well (the Vita currently doesn't use plugins and we have to disable some engines in the daily builds as otherwise it crashes). The PSP for example only has 32 Mb of memory (or ...

Re: The future of Grim Fandango Deluxe

Re: ESRGAN: AI Neural Net Upscaling
Right now all of this is not more than tossing around ideas anyway. I'm no developer, so there needs to be a dev who's actually interested in working on stuff like this. This includes swapping out the original backgrounds either with cleaned up ones (at the same resolution, but a higher color depth...
