Highlights

  • Plug-and-play installer. Download the repository ZIP (or just install.bat), double-click install.bat, and it builds and installs the game from your own ISO:
    • language first (English, Español, Français, Italiano), then all questions up front (install folder, ISO, Microsoft license, shortcuts); after that it runs unattended with an overall % progress;
    • portable toolchain (Git, CMake, Ninja, LLVM/Clang, Python, MSVC + Windows SDK) from official sources, SHA-256-pinned; no admin rights, no PATH, registry or system-wide changes;
    • ISO SHA-1 check, fast tar extraction, light (blobless) ReXGlue clone;
    • resumable: re-running continues where it stopped, refreshes the source and rebuilds when it changed;
    • self-contained game\ folder with Play.bat, desktop and Start menu shortcuts, launcher preset to the chosen language;
    • optional cleanup of build files at the end (default No, frees about 8 GB).
  • Launcher: "Manage saved games..." – open saves folder, back up, restore a backup, open backups folder, delete. Restore and delete first make a safety backup and are refused while the game is running.
  • Closing the launcher (X, Esc, Alt+F4) no longer starts the game.
  • README rewritten for new players: short Quick start at the top, technical content under Advanced.

Changes

  • New install.bat and tools/install.ps1 (translated messages in en/es/fr/it, -Language, -InstallDir, -Iso, -CleanupAfterInstall/-KeepBuildFiles and more; see the README).
  • Launcher: saved-games dialog; fixed an empty gap in the layout.
  • .gitattributes: CRLF for .bat / .ps1.
  • No changes to the game code, GPU plugin or runtime patches since v0.0.14.

Known issues

  • FPS drops when objects break or the camera splits.
  • If two tutorial prompts appear at once, the first one can stay stuck on screen. This is the original game's behaviour; restarting the level clears it.
  • The FPS cap option is experimental; the game is designed for 30 FPS.
  • The installer always builds the latest main from GitHub (also when started from a release source zip).
  • Only the Europe disc is supported. Windows x64 (Direct3D 12) only.
  • Tested on one PC only.

Building

Source only, bring your own disc: make an ISO of your Europe disc, download the repository ZIP and run install.bat (see the README Quick start). Manual build: tools\build_win.bat, then tools\build_gpu_plugin.bat.

Tested on

One PC (Windows, AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT): clean installs from a git clone and from the GitHub ZIP, 17-19 minutes each, then played.

Legal
