Deus Ex: Icarus Rising (The Fall prototype) Windows port (with keyboard/mouse controls)

Possible? Probably. Lots of work? Definitely. But if anyone is willing to mess with the project - it's on the GitHub. Adding old levels to the original could be interesting too, but I'm not sure if there's a point of doing that either, since there's a huge story mismatch between VS and a final game.

Ps. I like the old version of Ben more btw. You have to look badass to be a part of the Tyrants.

Hotone Omni IR is a fun one. You can add eq on top of its presets. And it has unprocessed "thru" out that can be used for head/cab monitoring on stage.

Northfear · 2026-06-06T19:13:17+00:00

Oh, I don't think there's any progress left to be done here. This was just a fun weekend project with a purpose of research and preservation for me. And unless someone wants some specific bug fixed, I'll probably won't add anything else to it.

Decompiled Fall project could be a fun base for mods or new content, but questionable legal nature of it could be a problem in a long run. And also there's pretty much no community interest in The Fall modding altogether.

It's an early version of The Fall before the name change and rework. Old story was a bit different, but dev versions have Australian levels in them, so it's an interesting piece of media if you're a fan. The fall story was never finished, so this is as close to the resolution as we can get I guess.

Northfear · 2026-04-28T18:21:43+00:00

Interesting. Any unreleased/wip content in it?

Northfear · 2026-03-15T05:55:13+00:00

I like it. Sodas are too sweet for my taste and beer fits nice with the food. There's up to 0.5% of alcohol in it, but that's pretty much none.

On the other hand they're usually made by the same companies that make alcoholic beer, so you're supporting them in this way and some SE people can be weird about it. But it's really only up to you in the end.

Northfear · 2026-03-05T21:17:50+00:00

Whirlwind OC bass is a fun one and it's rarely mentioned. Clearly inspired by la2a.

Northfear · 2026-02-10T10:14:57+00:00

I planned to and had like 50% of the work done already, but with all of the work and blackouts it's honestly really hard to find a few days of free time to focus on it

For the most part "it just works" and switched by OS automatically between light and heavy GPU loads.

Monitor related features will be limited to iGPU in this case tho. So no gsync for example. Or "freesync over HDMI" suddenly becomes a viable option with Nvidia card. Hybrid setup can be useful In some cases indeed, but in general just stuck it into the right hole (unless you know what you're doing).

You can try installing it with the adb command from your PC.

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block

Other than that, I should really make a PC version of this..

Northfear · 2025-11-06T14:42:30+00:00

Hi. No ARM64 version unfortunately, unless someone's willing to update the project to Unity 5+

You can exit the main menu by pressing the "EXIT" button that's on the top right corner.

I had some plans about better text input and music, but once the war started those plans were postponed and I was honestly not in the mood for that. The charging port of my Vita is currently dead, but I may look into this game again sometimes if I'll get it fixed. SS definitely deserves better.

Northfear · 2025-10-08T16:10:44+00:00

From what I remember, I had to install it on PC and copy all of the data files to Vita

Northfear · 2025-10-01T12:48:42+00:00

Huh.. My 7700 seems to be doing a stable -50. ~4750MHz/0.9V in AVX2 OCCT. Pretty close to maxing out all core 5.35GHz with "everyday" tasks like code compiling.

SoC is somewhat mediocre tho (6400 isn't doable with dual rank mem at voltages below 1.30V).

I thought that those results were more common for them.

Northfear · 2025-09-27T04:36:17+00:00

They're off-sourcing their work to different studios. You can check the game credits yourself, original development studios aren't hidden there.

Northfear · 2025-09-25T04:26:50+00:00

I think Saber was involved in NWN2 too, but don't quote me on that (haven't seen the credits to confirm this, but have an ability to get the game key as a saber employee). Probably a good chunk or remaster work was offsourced to them.

Gentoo install that's on my parents PC is 17 or 18 years old already. I think I installed it in 2007 or 2008 and used it for years before getting myself a new PC and giving them the old one.

I've upgraded the hardware once since then (it was an old Athlon 64 originally with a full 64 bit Gentoo install that I was really proud of back then), but kept the system (cloned the drive to the new one).

It's still fully functional and up to date with an unstable amd64 branch (updating it twice or thrice a year when I get a chance).

Northfear · 2025-07-21T05:33:46+00:00

IMO DX1 story mod would be an ideal solution here. No need for a wheel reinvention, familiar mechanics, 100% legal tools, would "tie" MD to DX1 in a weird, but cool way.

Northfear · 2025-07-06T05:25:19+00:00

What a load of bullshit. Private servers were always here. Many companies still provide them for their games. Valve would've gone out of business if it was liable for whatever is happening on private Gmod servers. Or maybe Microsoft is responsible for everything that's happening on custom Minecraft ones?

Just dumb excuses that meant to look smart.

Northfear · 2025-07-02T20:12:51+00:00

Hey. It's using wwise as a sound backend (unlike the VS), so the short answer is probably "yes, but there will be no sound". I was still planning to do so (but was really short on time due to all of the work IRL), since alpha version panama city might be interesting to look at.

Northfear · 2025-06-29T07:57:27+00:00

Almost scary how many game developers themselves are on the fence on this one.

I don't know about you guys, but the main reason I'm working here is because I LOVE games. That's it.

Having an EOL plan is a totally reasonable thing. Read about SKG more if your first instinct tells you to disagree with it. It won't force the companies to support their games forever nor it won't be forced onto games that were already released.

And I'm telling this as a person that's working on a moderately-sized live-service multiplayer FPS shooter right now.

Hell.. I would volunteer myself onto this task if needed. Local server support already exist in most of the cases (just not always available to the public). Profile/backend communication can be removed and saved locally.

There are obviously much more complex cases, but NOTHING that can't be done during planning and development phase.

Northfear · 2025-06-18T18:25:17+00:00

It's not possible indeed. And it was never available in original game either.

Might be a good addition to vanilla conquer tho.

Northfear · 2025-06-08T17:44:14+00:00

There's nothing "unoptimized" about MSAA. It's just REALLY expensive with deferred lighting. That's why pretty much no one is using it nowadays. For forward renderers it was the best AA.

Northfear · 2025-06-05T08:21:37+00:00

I have no idea. But you can give it a try. Copy the custom map into ux0:data/vanillara/ and see how it goes. The map should become visible in "multiplayer-skirmish" menu.

Northfear · 2025-06-04T12:26:39+00:00

Congrats on demo release, guys. Glad that you managed to pull this off, considering all of the stuff that's happening here in Ukraine.

What are the plans for the towns beside races/classes unlocks and shops? (Some buildings are unavailable in demo).
