the only thing left is mech 1, but that also means rebuild the entire PC-98 release, translate because the game uses the same text outside more strings and a few first person monologues that weren't present in the dos game and also the fact the game runs on a higher res and also comes with something only mech 2 would have months later, which is Instant Action.

I made a post about Mech2 piggy backing on that post.. but given their attitude towards AI, I don't expect much.

But hey, without AI how would one realistically play a PowerVR version of Mech2 on Win 11? So whatever. They can play if they want, or skip if they don't.

Mech1 could be done in a day if all we want is a straight port. The older the game, the easier it is (especially if it predates 3D). I'll pop it into Claude and see what it says.

Fits and giggles, I'll have a copy up later this week. It'll be the DOS one ported, but with PC98 images (they're higher res) and FM sound. No other features added.

GBL is basically ready.. similar state as to Mech2. There may be bugs, but I need user feedback to action.

(Mercs should be complete by the end of the week).

Very interesting. Going to check out MW2 soon as I get a minute.

I have just played the first couple of missions of Jade Falcon and everything works great except that when using the Enhanced Renderer and Titanium textures the skybox doesn't show clouds, it's just a blank colour. Using the orginal textures works fine. I was using the latest version 1.1.3 windows release.

I suppose I should have mentioned this is for MW2!

Can you try flipping from DX12 to Vulkan?

Screenshot would be super helpful too.
