After a long while, I have finally decided to release the game for it's first public beta test! If you want to try it out and get involved, I do ask that you make a discord account to help the testing process and offer up your opinion. If you already have one and would like to join, please refer to ...

Oh and to add on to what I said the other day, this animation strategy DOES NOT mean I ship the game with these animations. Instead, they are generated on-demand once and loaded from file all times after that. Gotta cover all the bases here.

Animations are a process that requires simply plugging and playing at this point. The process is a little like this: Open a B3D file in Krabby Quest Tools Pick the object in the file to animate Pick any of the available animation points (leg, head, eyes, hand, etc.) Open the keyframe editor Select s...

Granted the Animation Sequences need to be recreating using the Blitz3D Animation Seque...

This part of the Editor never really n...

In-Game, the animation points can now be used! Managed to switch from OBJ to GLB with relative ease aside from scaling problems.

OK update again on animations, we can preview their keyframes now which is great! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/674413487790882817/787575878238076958/unknown.png This is the B3D explorer, the newest addition to KrabbyQuestTools (which I will probably move it to a separate project centered s...

Had to update the initial post with this:


I'm sorry but I love this

Wish I had seen that before! Regardless it doesn't seem like they rewrote Blitz3D's code in C#, instead just quickly looking it seems they have an interop layer for using original Blitz3D functions written in C++. Rewriting the code from scratch still worked out I guess since now I know exactly how ...

OK -- Today I'm gonna discuss the biggest challenge with KrabbyQuestEmu thus far, which I have been putting off since before the Game portion's development even started... Animations. KrabbyQuestEmu extracts models from .B3D files using a Blender Add-on that wasn't made by me. I appreciate this guy'...

One of the other reasons for this project was because of how much troubleshooting I had to do to get the game working. There aren't that many solid resources that are easy for the average player to find if they run into a problem. On top of that, the DRM tacked on to the game is crazy bad. Playing i...

The reflection settings do need to be tweaked I agree, right now most of what you see is the skybox. Yes the particle effects might as well be overhauled. They're kept in a texture atlas which I'm trying to get away from because it makes adding new particles more difficult, which is against the poin...

Got a lot more features added, including a particle effects system making use of the Parameters system I mentioned earlier! On top of that, Ice is now in the game with mostly correct behavior. Image of that is below it has a bonus reflective component for style :stinkycool: Full patch notes can be f...

Just pushed new code to the repo, some notable changes include: Editor Improvement Async Level Loading in Editor (finally) Level Editor selection looks much better Level header data viewer accuracy improved Game Improvement Skybox looks much better Game Compatibility Ice Started, False walls, Bully ...

Speaking on darker graphics, I've been noticing that as well. In the original Krabby Quest, Bikini Bottom style levels used a much darker sand texture, this texture has been repurposed for the water in Sandy Beach style levels because otherwise, its darkness looked worse than if we just used the San...

I'll remember to add those, as of now: Holding Right-Click and dragging will move the camera in that direction, as soon as you let go, the camera will drift back to the player. The original way to move the camera by holding SHIFT(i believe?) is implemented into the game, although I never use it over...

Hello, I found this community after it being brought to my attention from a Reddit post I made about Krabby Quest. I honestly thought that Krabby Quest was dead with no community left, but I am thankful it is not forgotten! To try to allow it to stay alive I have started a project to remake the game...

To follow up, here's gameplay of the level Patrick vs The Bullies in KrabbyQuestEmu:

It's interesting you bring that up actually, I understand there are two ends of the spectrum: there are people who want an identical experience, and there are others who want it to be the same game, but with new features and updates. I made the decision to keep the gameplay as accurate as possible, ...

Hey everyone,

I posted a discussion about my project to recreate Krabby Quest here (KrabbyQuestEmu): viewtopic.php?f=1&p=367243#p367243

This is the recreation project jdl mentioned, so if you have any questions I recommend checking it out.

Hello everyone, I am the creator and currently the only contributer to KrabbyQuestEmu. To make it perfectly clear: this project takes all measures within my power to recreate Krabby Quest, using a modern engine, with a modular, customizable editor, all completely legally. KrabbyQuestEmu DOES NOT sup...
