looks like if you took SDV and mixed it with a survival game

pearl kernel Oct 12, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

Yeah it seemed like a fun little game. Seems to work pretty well so far😄

#

Definitely something for x55/tsp/ace etc

#

Lot of small text

dense hound Oct 12, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

gonna check on tomorrow

deft tree Oct 12, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

This game looks super cool. I might have to buy later payday.

pearl kernel Oct 12, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

Nice 🙂 Just want everyone to know that games in testing are games in testing though😄

#

First 15min of the game are good

#

Thats usually how far i test haha

deft tree Oct 12, 2024, 9:19 PM

#

I mean I don't have any issue with expanding my steam library. Because I feel like I could always play my library on PC or whatever in the future. And I like to tinker and test too. So it has its worth in ways.

pearl kernel Oct 12, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

yeah thats the way i look at it too 🙂 Just had one person not too long ago have some issues and lets just say he wasnt too happy

#

I try to have a certain standard for threads though

#

So far only one thread of mine has gone dead doggokek

inner plaza Oct 12, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

Even on the 40xx h text is pretty difficult read. The rg351p is unreadable haha. I'm gonna continue testing on the 40xx h DonkeyThumbsUp

#

Oof my camera is so shitty doggokek

pearl kernel Oct 12, 2024, 9:23 PM

#

Your camera doesnt help either lol

#

But yeah the games minimum res is 1280x720 and it seems like thats what it needs

#

Its semi-usable on my rg40xxH too

inner plaza Oct 12, 2024, 9:23 PM

#

ye it's ass.. the oneplus nord 3's cameras are so shit. It's doable on the 40xx h tho.

hollow haven Oct 13, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

I tested it on tsp, changed the resolution to 1280x720, and the display effect is fantastic.

prisma scroll Oct 13, 2024, 6:29 AM

#

This is a neat port, working great on tsp thank you for this port🙂

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 6:55 AM

#

Thanks for testing guys 🙂

#

The game looks great right

dense hound Oct 13, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

720x720 is going to be probably the lowest minimum for comfortable reading, or maybe 854x480, but thats mostly just OGS and direct clones, not very common these days

#

though so far I could decipher all the text on 640x480

#

works fine on amberelec though, for the sake of completeness

#

HUH. actually text rendering is kinda bad even on 1920x1080 screen

#

#

oh, it seem it doesnt like libmali on ace, it looks fine on panfrost

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

Interesting, getting the same behaviour on my x55. Its fine on panfrost, but also on the tsp.

dense hound Oct 13, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

well tsp has a completely different gpu architecture

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

yeah so its libmali

dense hound Oct 13, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

its probably going to be weird on rgb30 (or 503) with arkos and such

#

at 640x480 libmali and panfrost look identical

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 8:07 AM

#

Ill see what i can do, very strange issue

#

Okay, another easy fix 🙂

#

Its the big texturepageitems being an issue on mali gpu's

#

Learned this from johnny, thats what he made the script for in utmt

#

Look at that, won't have to exclude 640x480 anymore 🙂 @dense hound

dense hound Oct 13, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

huh, Im gonna try that on 320p for lulz

#

maybe it will be now readable lol

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

one moment ill send the xdelta rq

#

📎 data.win.xdelta

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

dense hound huh, Im gonna try that on 320p for lulz

Kinda doubt it but it should render better now haha

dense hound Oct 13, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

yeah, its still really not usable, but good on 480p indeed

#

great job!

pearl kernel Oct 13, 2024, 8:32 AM

#

Thank johnny haha, just had to make the link😄

#

This should actually fix another game where i had the exact same issue

inner plaza Oct 13, 2024, 8:38 AM

How do I use the xdelta patch?

performance is also decent?

bleak sedge Oct 14, 2024, 12:58 AM

#

OMIGOD, I went to see how much it was and it turns out that I already had it. Do you absolutely need someone to test it 720x720?

pearl kernel Oct 14, 2024, 7:42 AM

#

No 720x720 is optional now

#

Dont expect any issues there anyway, the game keeps aspect ratio to 16:9

#

So it woupd probably be fine, just small

#

But a test wouldn't hurt 🙂

north heart Oct 14, 2024, 7:43 AM

pearl kernel No 720x720 is optional now

There’s a h700 device coming with 720x720.

pearl kernel Oct 14, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

I know

#

Probably should go back to required again

north heart Oct 14, 2024, 7:44 AM

👀

#

Maybe

pearl kernel Oct 14, 2024, 7:44 AM

All of the h700 devices are popular enough

The problem before was not enough people with 720x720

pearl kernel Oct 14, 2024, 7:44 AM

So we should get enough testers wjth it

Tested in trimui stock-OS it works correctly, due to the resolution it sometimes gets slow when loading an area with many enemies.
When testing in knulli it doesn't start.

pearl kernel Oct 14, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

Knulli is very likely just permission issues from manually installing. Thanks for testing 🙂

inner plaza Can I fix this myself Jantrueno?

You could delete the port and place the zip in the autoinstaller, then run the pm app

#

Something weird happened when copying over the port files

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

Ah ok I will try again!

pearl kernel Oct 18, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

Either windows did some weird stuff to it or you may have missed/misplaced some files 🙂

#

This one is ready to go anyways, will PR it this weekend

#

But i understand you want to play😄

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

Oh nice! Didn't know it was finished. Thank you JanTrueno.

#

Ah it works don't know what went wrong DonkeyThumbsUp

pearl kernel Oct 18, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

Great 🙂 see any difference with the font?

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

When you set Auto-detect display settings to True it goes fullscreen on the 40xx. Text is clear 👌

pearl kernel Oct 18, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

Perfect, i hadnt found the option for fullscreen. Really nice

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

It looks great

#

The only issue I had are the face buttons. A should be B and Y should be X. The buttons do not match what the UI shows in the game.

pearl kernel Oct 18, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

Hm, yeah thats an issue with so many ports

#

South is south, but its nintendo/xbox things

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

Ye

pearl kernel Oct 18, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

I think kotzebuedog had a script to swap the buttons on gamemaker

#

Not sure how it works

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

You get used to it after playing for a bit tho ^^

pearl kernel Oct 18, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

My x55 has swapped controls on ports, which makes them match visually

#

I prefer it the other way around tbh

inner plaza Oct 18, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

Personally I don't mind it both options work for me.

static grotto Oct 19, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

pearl kernel Wait, its fullscreen?<:TurtleThink:1126790733383340063>

Yeah so, it’s “originally” just the 16:9, but just to try it if you toggle the full screen on and off it goes to full and it looks great! Ran into one weird looking UI overlay that went away after changing screens though, but not sure that’s a bug from your port or not

Here is my testing results for Garden Story using the epic games version:
Rg351v ArkOs - Not great. Seems slow and scales badly. Not the best device for this one. Boots up and plays but not well
.
Trim UI Smart Pro Crossmix 1.3 : Garden Story works great. The screen is fit well for this game and it doesn't seem to have any issues as far as I can tell. Very nice 👍

shadow mulch Feb 25, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

So I was messing with the Aspect Ratio and found that 1400 X 1050 is the one best suited for a 3.5 screen
idk thought that was neat to see
