Hoje trago a revisão definitiva da tradução que fiz para Mario Kart 8 , tradução essa que foi originalmente publicada aqui nesse blog no distante ano de 2021 , agora com uma versão para Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ! Inicialmente, eu havia portado a tradução para o Mario Kart 8 Deluxe no final de 2023, logo depois que o jogo recebeu seu último DLC e Mario Kart Tour entrou em loop. Embora eu não tenha feito nenhuma postagem sobre essa versão antes, eu mantive todos os links das traduções atualizados nesse meio tempo, tanto para Wii U quanto para Nintendo Switch (não se enganem, eu mantenho tudo atualizado sempre, mesmo que na surdina). ⬇️ Download O arquivo .zip já inclui as instruções de instalação Definitiva, dependendo de quem você pergunte Por mais que eu esteja considerando essa a Revisão Definitiva™ , da mesma maneira que usei Mario Kart Tour como referência para várias das localizações na tradução, se um jogo futuro introduzir alguma localização que seja relevante para Mar...

It's been a while since my last post, hasn't it? I just want to say that although I was (and still am) quite busy working on multiple things, I didn't put this blog aside. I've been tweaking a lot of things here and there and making sure all pages were up to date during this period. This blog still remains an essential part of my online presence. With that out of the way, let's dive into today's topic. About gdProject If you are a long time follower of mine on social medias you are probably aware that in early 2022 my friendship with GameMaker ended and Godot became my best friend for reasons that were partially reverted way too late . After getting familiar with the engine itself and feeling comfortable using its scripting language, I decided to make something similar to yyProjects , but for Godot! A handful of add-ons in this repository were originally designed to help me develop UniStudio (If you've been living under a rock, I ported the game f...

Yep, that's exactly what the title says. 🦔 A few days ago I tweeted a video where I show Sonic Mania Plus running on my Wii U. Sonic Mania Plus on the Wii U. pic.twitter.com/wCZoENQCLy — NinStar (@ninstarxt) August 27, 2022 This tweet gained quite a lot of traction, so let's talk about it in details. The people behind the project First of all, I must say that this was only made possible thanks to the incredible work done by Clownacy in porting the source code of the Sonic Mania decompilation to the Wii U, as well as Rubberduckycoly and MGRich for making the decompilation project. You can check the source code on GitHub . It is worth noting that there is also another port being made by Radfordhound , his port is going to bring GX2 rendering, which should fix the lag on Special Stages, and support for more controllers. You can see more on his Twitter profile. In the meantime, a fun weekend project: I ported the absolutely incredible decompilation of Sonic ...

The first release version, 1.0 is finally here with major changes. Highlights Now on Linux and macOS Previously Rich Presence U was only compatible with Windows, but now it supports Linux and macOS! Both Windows and Linux builds have been fully tested, but the macOS build is still considered experimental, as I personally haven’t been able to test it on a real macOS and couldn't find anyone who could help me with the testing. Even better user interface The interface has been extensively improved for better user experience: You can now freely resize the window and the main tabs will adapt to it. The scale of the UI, automatic refresh, theme and language can be set manually. Options and information are organized more clearly. Multiple options now have toggles that allow you to set their visibility in your status without having to modify their set configurations. There are new dialogs to help you if something doesn't go right. Not to mention new animations I designe...

Ah yes, after yeeeeeeeeaaars I decided to switch back to Firefox and use it as my default browser. While I was digging through the settings to make things more suitable for me, I found this add-on called Firefox Color , I decided to give it a try and make some themes. I made two variants: Everyone's favorite, dark theme. 🌑 And for those who want some bright ideas, a light theme. ☀️ You can install them directly from their respective pages on addons.mozilla.org: Nin★Themes - Dark Nin★Themes - Light Happy browsing! 💖

Fine, I’ll Do it Myself. Apesar do Wii U oficialmente ter suporte para Português Brasileiro desde o seu lançamento, a grande maioria dos jogos first-party da Nintendo nunca receberam traduções para esse idioma. Eu estive trabalhando em uma tradução completa para o Mario Kart 8 , você pode utilizar tanto em um Wii U quanto em um emulador. O download vem incluso com instruções de instalação para os dois casos. ✨ ⬇️ Download Sobre os nomes de personagens e cenários Apesar de incluir a grande maioria (se não todos) os nomes traduzidos oficialmente pela Nintendo of America para o Mario Kart Tour como base, nem todos elementos em comum entre Mario Kart Tour e Mario Kart 8 foram oficialmente traduzidos oficialmente pela Nintendo ainda. Como um plano B, eu usei a versão de Portugal do jogo como base para tradução, mas nesses casos eu fiz alguns ajustes para acomodar melhor o Português Brasileiro. E em último caso eu mesmo elaborei os nomes. Por exemplo, Mastercicle se torno...

I am participating in a gamejam for the first time ever and U.F.O. GX is my entry. About the game The game has a single player and a multiplayer mode, the latter is endless while the former is a versus match. 1 Player: Avoid crashing into asteroids and comets for as long as you can, the game will gradually get faster over time. With practice you can master the game even at its maximum speed. Collecting a battery will make you temporarily invincible. 2 Players: The objective is the exact oposite, you have to crash into as many asteroids as possible before time runs out. The player with the highest amount of destroyed asteroids wins. The single player mode can be played on mobile browsers using a touch screen. About the development I spent exactly 7 days to design, develop and playtest this game. I have to admit it was a fun experience but at the same time I kept thinking “will I get this done in time?”, because like I said I have never participated in a gamejam before so...

Version 0.7.0 is here! with a completely revamped interface, new features and improvements. Highlights A new user interface Completely revamped UI, designed to better match Discord’s app style. The main reason I made this new interface was to improve user experience while keeping it visually clean and simple to use. 🍇 Now the main layout is separated into 3 tabs: platform , details and title with step-by-step style, but it you can still jump directly to any tab you want by simply clicking on their icon. There’s a new status bar on the upper left corner, it displays your connection status, applied settings, and warns you when any critical error occurs. Multi-regional games Rich Presence U now supports European and Japanese titles, that also includes exclusive icons for each region. Since this is a newly added feature, by the time I’m posting this the title database for those regions are still fairly small. Titles repository Recently played games A history for recently...

Ninty Launcher and Rich Presence U can now be downloaded via itch.io . All future releases will be primarily published there. You can even submit your review if you want. 🎀 I will keep publishing the source code on my GitHub as usual. Ninty Launcher by NinStar Rich Presence U by NinStar And by the way, UniMaker has had a page there since a while. So if you haven’t had the opportunity to download it yet since what happened to GameJolt , now you can! ✨ UniMaker by NinStar

Every time you duplicate something in your project in GameMaker Studio 2, for some reason it keeps an unused copy of that asset’s metadata, if you duplicate this same asset again two unused copies will be kept, if you duplicate it once again you will be left with 3 copies and so on… you get where this is going, right? Doing this multiple times can make your project unnecessarily big, and since there are many small files, it can become a problem when importing / exporting your entire project when really needed. For this reason I made this application, it simply scans and removes all unused .yy files from your project. Here a comparison of how effective it can be depending on how big your project is: 63,8mb (22.683 files) -> 25,5mb (12.888 files) . ⬇️ Download & Source Code Be aware that this is the first release, I only tested it with my own projects, make a backup of yours before using it. Feedback is welcome. 💌

Rich Presence U v0.6 is here, featuring a brand new interface! It is considerably smaller compared to the previous one and now it is possible to resize it to any size, not to mention it has a dark theme 🌚 I did this mainly with UX improvements in mind, buttons and options are more responsive and easier to understand. ⬇️ Download But if you still prefer the old interface, you can continue using v0.5 , I didn’t made any functional changes to the database since the last release, for now it will work normally. just for now … Also, for those who are interested in the source code part, I translated all code comments into English, I hope this make things easier.

This is a collection featuring customized icons and splash screens for Wii titles on Wii U. For those who don’t know: Nintendo had been publishing Wii games on the Wii U eShop for a long time, they work more or less as Virtual Console games, because of that they are installed on the Wii U menu instead of the Wii menu and all icons and splash screens follow the same template by default. Here’s a look on an actual console: I tried my best to give an unique personality for each game while designing their respective icons. Eventually I will be adding new titles to the collection ⬇️ Download Note: The link above does not contain any tools for you to create injects, just the .PNG files I made, you can easily find tools for this purpose on GBATemp. And for Nintedont users, I’m making icons for Nintendo GameCube titles as well. 🧊

A new update for Rich Presence U is available, this time supporting Nintendo 3DS games! Initially there are a total of 113 titles for Nintendo 3DS , I will include more soon. I also made some other changes to the application: Now all icons are loaded dynamically over the internet, this means that the application is now much smaller and you will no longer need to update it just to receive the latest game list. Automatic notifications when a new version of the application is available. See changelog.txt for more details.
