Dark Cloud 2 PC Port Preview
Given the excitement around the DC1 decomp, I thought it might be time to share a project I've been working on. This is Dark Cloud 2 running natively on Windows. The game is running 2x internal resolution for this video.
It is a decomp-based (not recomp) port of the game. As you can see, there are some defects I hope fix.
I know it's going to be a question and I think it's important to be transparent about this stuff: AI was used, mostly for decomp but in some other areas as well. I'm also a programmer by trade and write my own code so it's not just 100% vibe coded.
I plan to release the source for this in the coming weeks after I've had some time to clean it up and remove anything that might be legally problematic. Obviously there is still a lot of work to be done, but I'm hopeful that with the way the decomps are progressing the project will improve over time.
Future plans include:
- Support for multiple resolutions
- Support for unlocked framerate
- Support for more platforms (android, macos, linux, etc)
- Classic, Enhanced, and Remastered launch presets
- Whatever else I come up with
Anyway, hope you all think it's cool at least and sorry for coming out of the blue like this, I wasn't aware of the DC1 decomp until recently and I felt a bit hurried to say something about it rather than keep working in the dark.
