A Cloudflare outage is causing various apps such as X, Canva, Letterboxd & more to experience downtime.

Just a general update, yes most of the internet, including our website is down due to Cloudflare for the moment.

(walks in with a weirdly Cloudfare server shaped neck) hey guys what's going on

it appears hoodgenius crashed twitter ☠️

lmfao

Twitter/X is down.

“sonic racing” huh

This week we got more progress from @hyperbx.bsky.social on the options menu! All of this is implemented outside the game's UI engine in ImGui :)

Time to take a break from the race track for an update :)

This week, we got two restorations, chain jumps flips, and Sonic's action gauge!

If infinite hops aren't your thing and you want something more like Sonic Team intended, Sonic's gems will now (optionally) consume the action gauge.

Marathon Recompiled running Mephiles Phase 1, showing high resolution Mephiles "shadow" rendering.

This week, we've fixed several more high FPS issues, including particles, UI animations, and bullet collision, improvements for the debug camera, and added patches for rendering Shadow's shadow-Mephiles in crispy high res!

Marathon (Sonic '06) Recomp, Kingdom Valley A - Sonic in ultrawide showing correctly aligned UI.

Here it is! The most anticipated patch yet...

Ultrawide support in the UI, along with several restoration patches and high frame-rate fixes.

This took a lot of work, so make sure to give your thanks to @hyperbx.bsky.social

I think there might be a problem

My last lobby in CrossWorlds before the beta servers closed, I'm gonna miss this game. 🫡

I got ultrawhyde covered too, don't worry (it's so wide that Bluesky forced me to letterbox it).

These arrows have been the bane of my existence for the past couple days, but I finally got them extending dynamically at ultrawide.

Knuckles receives a letter from Eggman cutscene, displayed in ultrawide. This cutscene is made of alpha in-game footage composited together rather than full "CG".

Sonic's episode credits at 4:3. Text still has some minor warping, which will be resolved at a later date.

Here's what we cooked up this week, some big things coming soon...

- Ultrawide support for pre-rendered videos
- Voice language config, you can now play with JP VAs in English locale!
- Autosaves at all vanilla save prompts!
- Audio popping fixes for macOS
- Cleanup & additions to several patches

Music Attenuation is in!

Marathon Recompiled ultrawide support for the main menu getting wider and wider as Kylo Ren demands more.

Marathon Recompiled is not finished, any tutorials for setting it up in its current state do not use binaries provided by us.

Any official updates will come from either @isaacmarovitz.com or myself. Refer to the official GitHub repository for development updates. Thanks.

So whilst writing unit tests for Marathon ('06 modding tool) to ensure all binary formats are written 1:1, I found that the sound bank file for Shadow's boss voice lines wasn't writing correctly.

...or rather, the *original* file wasn't written correctly, causing his voice lines to sound wrong.

It's been another week, and we've been hard at work resolving lots of big GPU and CPU problems. Although this looks pretty complete, we're still a long way from release, so please bear with us as we make this game the best it can be.

And that's about it really; the tools are improving, the mod manager is being worked on again, Sonic '06 on PC confirmed??!

This is the end of the thread, have a null terminator.\0

For the recompilation port, we may provide an option to use a work folder to allow hot swapping files for quick mod iterating.

Being able to throw new files into a folder and see instant results will definitely be handy.

This should not be used for mod distribution, however.
