what does the "imgui.ini" file in the right?

hesopesomeso

That's a file that stores imgui states in cheat tool. Like the position of individual windows, etc.

froster_xxl

ah yes, thats why the date is 2024

I still hope that microid will release a game like xxl1 or xxl2. 😭😭🙏

.romannikolaev

they will never do. Not their creation in it's core. Original developer(s) do not exist as a company already. Microids just has the rights for the franchise.

I worked on xxl3 and the remaster of xxl, and I fully agree with this message :obelul:

failentin

whaaat haha 👀

failentin

what did you work on (if you can say that)?

gwennaterasu

https://francoishautier.com/en/ if you are curious 😅 I haven't updated my website in four years and there are lots of images missing from some articles (such as the one on XXL). and the images are broken on Chrome but not on Firefox 🥵 But yes, XXL and XXL2 are games that I love, and I was quite frustrated with the time and budget we had to work with for the remasters... At least I spent a lot of time polishing the original rendering in the XXL remaster, which I think looks better than the ‘remastered’ rendering. I just didn't have time to properly manage the lighting on the dynamic objects, which aren't identical to the original 🙁

oh how cool! Your website was shared on this server before, so I remember it well! Your passion for the series was evident from the text ^^

gwennaterasu

Ohhh, that's so cool! I spent ages writing all that and didn't think anyone would be interested (except maybe to apply for jobs at other companies)

gwennaterasu

I have funny anecdotes about the development of remasters if you want to hear them :obelul:

failentin

omg yes please :lookinfordabichys:

hesopesomeso

Your article has actually answered one of our debates: KAL vs K :obelul:

gwennaterasu

yes K is the engine and Kal the editor ^^

gwennaterasu

I still have the source code of XXL too on my PC 😄

gwennaterasu

original and remaster 😄
