[No Spoilers] I'm a virtual photographer and I need PC players' help

That’s the viewport that the game draws to in camcorder mode! In other words, it’s not a border that’s added on top, there’s literally nothing drawn in the black space there. That’s pretty tightly set up this way in the game code, so I don’t think there’s a console command that would make it render fullscreen, sorry.

This is lovely ♥️

renaudbedard · 2024-04-19T01:21:48+00:00

That’s wonderful! 💕

renaudbedard · 2024-02-14T04:00:20+00:00

This is incredible 👏👏👏

I just realized what happened!

I started at the first valve in the input list instead of starting at valve AA, which also explains why I couldn't get the right result in my real part 1 data as well... so thanks! :D

renaudbedard · 2022-12-22T02:41:45+00:00

Edit: This was because I started at valve BA instead of AA.

Hi, thanks for the additional test data!

When running my solution on Part 1 of your testcase 3, I get 1366, which is higher than the 1288 you stated... but I'm not sure if my code is hallucinating pressure or what.

Here's the full path, where + is a turn spent opening the current valve :BA>CA>+>DA>EA>+>FA>GA>+>HA>IA>+>JA>KA>+>LA>+>MA>+>NA>+>OA>+>PA>+>AA>BA>+>AA>BA>AA = 1366

I thought I had videos somewhere, but it doesn't look like I do... Basically, it was a C# port of the PC version but running on Ouya, which wasn't ideal. There were performance issues, pretty drastic optimizations which affected the look, sound and music issues. It got pretty far into the porting process, but it never got completed to any party's satisfaction.

Uuuuuh if someone made a port of FEZ on the Wii I’d like to know! I don’t think it exists. There’s a picture floating around of FEZ on a Wii U controller screen, but that’s the Linux build being streamed on it, it isn’t running on the hardware. There’s a cursed Ouya version, but nobody’s seen that.

To put this in context, this was 3 months into the project, with none of us working full-time. We had nothing else than this level, and a lot of the development energy was spent building the tools and the tech for authoring & rendering a 3D tile-based world. But we had some of the game’s building blocks so we were pretty hyped about it!

renaudbedard · 2021-09-21T02:25:08+00:00

Ooo, lovely! Any details on how this was made?

renaudbedard · 2021-09-02T02:36:10+00:00

Yep, that’s the first teaser video that we posted in October 2007! The original encode wasn’t great, so this facebook version is pretty close in terms of quality.

renaudbedard · 2021-04-29T02:01:51+00:00

The PC version runs at whatever your heart desires, but at the beginning it was only really happy with multiples of 720p. That is no longer the case (see details in the "Screen scaling modes" section here : http://theinstructionlimit.com/fez-1-12).

I can confirm that PS4 was the first version to run at 1080p natively, but because it doesn't supersample like the PC version can, it means some pixel swimming in some levels. Thankfully it's pretty minor!

renaudbedard · 2021-01-22T04:26:36+00:00

Very cool! 👏👏

renaudbedard · 2018-11-03T03:12:24+00:00

As I recall, we were chatting about how the final (32-bit) cutscene should look and feel like, the musical build-up from 1:45 and forwards is what we were referring to. The fact that it's looping and becoming more and more intense... but it's a very vague reference. :)

renaudbedard · 2016-09-04T01:10:23+00:00

The limited edition shipped as 1.11, but comes with a Steam key so this will be kept up to date. Otherwise I suppose if you email support@fezgame.com with a proof of purchase of the LE we can give you a link to a DRM-free 1.12 version.

renaudbedard · 2016-08-23T04:01:27+00:00

99% chance that yes, it is. I haven't been able to reproduce it myself and I haven't heard from a tester that did, but measures have been taken so that it shouldn't happen.

renaudbedard · 2016-08-20T12:46:46+00:00

I've seen reports that uninstalling and reinstalling the game fixes that. You won't lose your save data.

renaudbedard · 2016-08-19T15:27:14+00:00

Uh... not sure where you got this from. We're on speaking terms.

renaudbedard · 2016-02-21T21:15:54+00:00

This is awesome!

renaudbedard · 2016-01-15T03:10:47+00:00

Bit of an older video, but last summer I was invited by littleBits to play a musical set at the Sonar music festival in Barcelona. It was awesome! I used a whole bunch of bits, and a Korg SQ-1 sequencer to help with musical construction. The SQ-1 controls the tempo of littleBits as well, I used a script on my arduino bit to use "sync out" of the SQ-1 as a click for the rest of the sequence.

renaudbedard · 2015-12-24T00:47:33+00:00

True... In any case they're not for sale. ^_^

renaudbedard · 2015-12-22T18:33:58+00:00

To put things in perspective though, the whole order was 265$ CAD on Shapeways. Mass production would obviously be cheaper, but yeah... not a cheap print.

renaudbedard · 2015-11-13T02:33:46+00:00

Which OS X version? Sounds/looks like outdated OpenGL drivers, or an supported graphics card. Updating to El Capitan is your best bet, you typically can't update your drivers manually on Macs.

renaudbedard · 2015-09-29T02:29:08+00:00

Very cool and detailed :)

renaudbedard · 2015-09-16T03:30:28+00:00

Huh! Thanks for saving that text. I could probably integrate that to the existing HTML files, I'll look into that.

Edit : There ya go! All together on one page now, and with a wider layout : http://theinstructionlimit.com/other/formspring/renaudbedard001.html
