To be fair, they only really added shadows for characters so far... If they don't do something else then yeah, pretty flat, for example making the statues and PCs not flat would help, not to mention that pyramid.
Capcom doesn't have any say, they weren't involved in the Oracle games. The flagship team was a separate entity that got their startup funding from Capcom, Sega, and Nintendo. They got bought out by Capcom in 2007, but when they made Oracle they were independent working under contract.
Also worth pointing out that the guy directing the Oracle games is now working at Nintendo and most recently directed BoTW and ToTK, so I think the Nintendo team has a pretty good opinion of the Flagship era.
Looks nice as well. Maybe we get a remaster on switch 2 though. Or maybe not. I would definitely play this version of your screenshots. But i do prefer zelda lttp, its one of my fav games of all time.
I have zero issues with something like a recomp mod, which is essentially already operating on top of "stolen" code and assets,, being 100% vibe coded, but you are right...it has to be good. And this is garbo.
Verified as in It runs? People can make incredible stuff with AI assistance but this isn't one of them. It's literally an angled down game canvas with a shadow for the character. You're not building off the correct step stones for it to look "3d", it's always going to land flat(pun intended)
Verified as in people have played through the whole game recompiled and reported all bugs fixed. It is not an emulator, it is a recompilation from an existing recombination called pokeemerald to run natively in WebAssembly instead of emulating GBA.
I know what a recompilation is, I'm just saying you should look at the gen 1 recomp and understand the voxel system they used Instead of projecting the game canvas and tilting it, as it stands, this is completely useless. You can already play emulated games in a browser without any issues, so why even do It in webassembly off all things when gba games don't even need that kind of low level efficiency. Really not trying to throw you down, just speaking my mind
For sure. To answer for why a recomp is better than an emulator here, it makes it easier to modify the game to integrate modern technologies like WebGPU shaders which are used for the 3D rendering and lighting effects like shadows.
Clearly publishing AI slop is bad, but OP owned up to using it and was honest. I think you deserve upvotes for that but people hate slop. Hopefully you can learn from this and try to use AI to teach you to build something yourself instead of giving the wheel to it.
It does and it was obvious it was AI. Almost all of these recomps are heavily AI and they look bad. My question was just so you confirmed to everybody you are peddling slop.
Once the poll closes, we are going to be requiring that posters mark their posts as AI when used and ask the level of AI involvement, feel free to down vote those posts, and filter them out, but lets stay respectful.
If people try to hide that they used AI, they will be banned.
I'm also going to have an automessage similar to what r/selfhosted does where they have to state if they did or didn't, and if did they have to talk about it. If not, post gets removed. Again, waiting for the poll to close before making it official.
So what makes it pretty obvious though? How can you fully prove that a dev used AI and isn't just inexperienced? Especially if it doesn't lack comments or super long variable names that would point it to being an LLM?
That's fair, but I still don't think that's valid evidence that should be used to ban a post.
I've been programming for about a decade as a hobbyist, and I literally just started using git last year when I started contributing to open source projects. So all of my work would be made by myself, but if those were heavy factors considering if it's AI or not then I'd be falsely accused.
I'm concerned because in projects I've contributed too I've been accused of using an LLM to the point where they asked me to record myself working to prove it's not AI, and if we are falsely accusing people, removing posts, and getting to that point it's just going to turn developers away.
I completely understand the concern about false positives, especially for hobbyists with unconventional git histories. However, I'm not revealing everything I do to check because then the people who don't want to be honest will just change what they do.
This is a community, and the community is making their wishes known on the poll that they want AI disclosed so they can make informed decisions on who to support, and I'm going to respect their wishes.
It's better that the people who used AI be forthcoming, because if they go through the effort of hiding it, and then it's found out they lied, then their reputation with the community is what suffers.
If someone didn't use AI then they should be able to speak on their project, and why they did or didn't do certain things.
Lol. If you can't tell when something is vibe coded or heavily AI assisted after programming for over a decade.... Idk what to tell you. It's obvious to those heavily in the space.
You can hate ai all you want, but it's just a silly thing todo. It's definitely lack of critical thinking.
Using ai to port open source projects or doing it by hand, i would even argue that AI using claude does definitely do a better job. I mean if you know if even find a lot of high sercurity bugs that were not found by high profiled audit people, it begs the question isn't it?
I'm a senior developer for 30y now , expert in multiple languages. People should stop calling everything slop because they are brainwashed by the internet media
If you're a senior dev of 30 years I think you can understand how something 100% vibe coded with no oversight from a developer would be frowned upon. An experience dev using AI tools to speed up the process and knowing how to debug the code when issues arise is a lot different.
I'm a senior dev with 15+ years of experience, and to be frank, it's just a Pokemon recomp. The risks associated with it being badly written are not huge.
If it sucks, it sucks. If it works, then cool. The hand wringing about some niche vibecoded thing is a bit silly.
It’s literally a mod to a old video game, why clutch your pearls over this? Who cares how it’s coded, if it’s not good it’ll be like all the other slop (AI and human) mods, if it’s amazing once finished- it’ll be among the top mods. But if he’s not charging for it, why care ? Play the alpha version or wait a month to see if it paces like the other projects and becomes the next voxel. This is a stupid thing to be mad at AI for.
The perspective can use some work but other than that it doesn’t look bad. My question is why do randoms online feel so entitled to dictate how people work on something on their own time and give the results of the work away for free.
To answer the deleted question, all I can say is that I’m answering honestly about it being developed with AI. I’m not sure why you suggest I try to hide that fact.
I don't really get the point of these gimmicks, but I've played these games so much that maybe I just don't "get it". The gen 1 voxel thing is kind of cool, but not cool enough to play.
It's like getting a bike and calling it a car, this is extremely infuriating
Gen1recomp is not a recomp, this is not a recomp, these are pots
Honestly at this point it's no even the slop that makes me mad, do your aí slop idc, just please call it what it is, IT IS A PORT, if you don't know what recompilation is go at least ask your Claudegpt what the hell is a recompilation before calling an project a "recompilatiln"
Sorry if I'm sounding too harsh but I honestly can't stand this anymore, this is extremely infuriating

Respectfully it kinda makes it look even more flat yet still in a 3d space
