Hello, just wanted to share a new mod for Stunt Island that greatly increases the level of detail / drawing distance.
The patch (and a related writeup) is available here:
Great work, thanks for the write-up! You had me for a moment with the LLM bit.
Wow, really cool. REALLY cool.
I'd love to better understand how to disassemble 16 bit stuff with lost sources but my dyslexia makes following along like this a little tough. I'd literally pay for someone to pair program with me even to just go over exactly what you wrote just to help me understand doing it live! Or I'd chip in if someone would make a video of doing all of this 😀

Thanks! To be fair, Copilot saved me a lot of time when doing some side tasks (coding the comparison window with before/after slider and the diff-patcher). But my frustration with its response when analysing the assembly was real.

Thanks for the kind words! I've been asked by other people to make a video out of the article, but for various reasons I am unable to make one at the moment. Hope that someone else is willing to pick up the task. Otherwise... maybe in future!
Oh wow, that looks amazing. Stunt Island's engine itself is fascinating, so I can't wait to see what you've done with it.
Does it work with other languages?
I've got both the GoG release and a spanish one, and I'd like to test it...
I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...

It will work with the GOG release. Not sure about the other one; it depends whether the executable is different or only the resource files. If you try it, let me know whether it works. In case it fails, send me the three exe files (stunts.exe, makeone.exe, playone.exe) so that I patch this one too.
