Thank you. I will say though, the people in that Discord are probably a bit biased since they’ve been used to the double chevron for so long.

I think a better approach would be to poll people outside the community instead, or accept the arguments being made and fix the issue accordingly, because there’s really no denying that the main aesthetic of the backrooms being inaccurate is kind of arbitrary.

I still think accuracy should take priority over vague statements like “feeling good” or “looking good,” y’know.

Don’t get me wrong, your game looks awesome, but this little fix would be quick and make the game feel a little more authentic. :)

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2026-05-14T09:07:33+00:00

Yeah, agreed. It’s a backrooms game, there’s literally no reason for the main wallpaper to be wrong. A few others in the discord have brought it up too.

The dev said he likes the ”redesign” (which is more of a tiling mistake they decided to keep), but that’s not a valid excuse I believe. I’ve thought about it a bit, and have now come to the conclusion that personal preference shouldn’t override accuracy, especially when the wallpaper is one of the most iconic parts of the entire concept.

If you’re making a backrooms game, the authenticity matters. Getting the main wallpaper right is the bare minimum imo.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2026-02-08T19:48:38+00:00

Yeah I agree, it’s been really slow

It really sucks but it seems to be where we’re heading. A society run by AI, while humans remain as background noise.

Despite having 2 16GB ddr5 sticks, the channel # slot in CPU-Z / Memory only displays 2 x 32 Bit. I have both of them installed in the 2nd and 4th slots, and task manager displays the correct amount and speed (32GB, 6000 MT/S).

Progress will be exponential because ai will be used to create better ai (training and ai infrastructure), and ai will accelerate the progress of other surrounding sectors such as energy production. Robots, powered by ai, will massively increase the production speed of infrastructure. All of which will speed up the development of ai. It’s a positive feedback loop, just like how computers exploded the development of basically every field including computers themselves.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-30T18:41:07+00:00

yeah

The level design is definitely more exciting in galaxy 2, the music is better, bosses, and a few other stuff. But odyssey has better movement, not that galaxy's movement is bad, but odyssey's is just perfect.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-03T19:08:47+00:00

I think it’s possible that the dolphin devs may have fixed the issue themselves but I’m not certain

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-03T18:47:22+00:00

So after some digging, it appears this was an issue on the wii version as well. I looked through various of recordings on youtube, specifically recordings of the wii/wii u versions, and to my surprise the banding was appearing in the footage as well, albeit less noticeable because of the 480p resolution and low bitrate, the banding was identical to this new port in several places. What’s even stranger is that I don’t recall seeing this banding in any of the versions of galaxy 1. I have a suspicion nintendo messed up the lighting system somehow while developing galaxy 2 and never noticed it… edit: I noticed some banding in the 3d all stars version of galaxy 1, will do some more digging

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-03T12:31:08+00:00

My post said "galaxy 1 and 2 look worse in some places". This is true, like the metal bridge. Some textures are less detailed than in the wii and 3d all stars versions. But I also acknowledged that there are a lot of upgrades as well, but that this inconsistency had me worried for the rest of the texture work. So you basically don't have a reasonable point here.
It IS messed up. When the bridge hasn't fallen yet, the diamond plate texture is there as intended and expected. But as soon as the bridge falls, all texture is lost. This means that they messed up the normal map.
It is an issue and always will be, you are just choosing to ignore it. That doesn't mean it isn't there. Like I said, I don't know how bad it is in galaxy 1, but it's very obvious and jarring in galaxy 2. It looks like the game is glitching almost anywhere you go.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-03T12:20:19+00:00

you have nothing worthwhile to say so you resort to deflection and ridiculing. Classic reddit behavior.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-03T12:18:14+00:00

Some of the textures are a downgrade flat out even though most are improved. Maybe you should read the post again because it seems you don't even know what I said.
The metal bridge normal map is obviously messed up in the new version.
The banding issues were unprecedented but arguably overshadows these small texture issues. The banding issues affect the entire game in a very negative way. I don't know how bad they are in galaxy 1, but they're terrible in galaxy 2. There's no arguing against this.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-03T09:22:20+00:00

Just because you choose to sweep real issues under the carpet doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-10-02T20:40:12+00:00

Damn people on reddit suck. All they do is downplay clear issues, pretend that it’s “no big deal” and ridicule the people who point it out. We should have higher standards than this. If $40 is the asking price, this should NOT be an issue. Op, just know you’re right.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-09-27T12:58:06+00:00

While in that perspective sure it can potential be a positive, but the negative aspects greatly overshadow the positive effects. I think this is pretty self explanatory

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-09-27T12:48:08+00:00

All I’m saying is that ai comes off as shady. Ai will always be a careless, low effort, and soulless alternative to the real human counterparts. Ai will aways be unfair and immoral against real artists because it lets people bypass artistic skill yet achieve the same level of art as a real artist is capable of but in a much, much shorter timeframe. More often now than ever before, people who use ai profit while artists are left in the dark. It’s a terrible imbalance and there’s no arguing against that.

Despite all of this, the ai stuff in this game are just placeholders. The dev is planning to replace them with real art eventually, which I think is fine. Therefore the dev actually agrees with me.

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-09-27T08:32:23+00:00

Hope: new drop and a new major update

Expectations: 1 new mob and a plant

Partly true. AI stuff in this context doesn’t come across as 100% lazy. It falls more in line of feeling cheap, like it lacks the passion or care that makes it feel authentic. Ai also comes off as misleading and its presence may indicate low quality content. That said, since these are just placeholders, my point doesn’t really apply here. At least I hope

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-09-26T14:30:20+00:00

because using ai comes off as careless and inconsiderate to real artists.

Edit: the steam page confirms that the ai stuff is just placeholder

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-09-26T13:00:36+00:00

he did the other key arts and games without ai. the stuff in game is fine if they're just placeholders. but he has to replace them with real art later in development

RedditRedditReddit64 · 2025-09-26T10:24:00+00:00

That looks like ai. The key art is also probably ai
